Template:Old CfD
All parameters are optional except
|date=.
|section=: the name of the discussion section on the CFD page. Default is the name of the category itself.|date=: the date on which the discussion started. If it was February 7, 2006, the parameter would look like|date=2006 February 7.|action=: what the nominator suggested. Default is "deletion". Having this parameter equal to "deletion", "merging", or "renaming" will provide a relevant wikilink.|result=: outcome of the discussion. Default is keep. Do not bold this parameter by surrounding it with triple quotes; the template already does this.
