=== Withdrawing a nomination ===
{{See also|#Procedure for non-administrator close (nominator withdrawal)}}

If no one else has supported the deletion proposal and you change your mind about the nomination, you can withdraw it. This might be because the discussion has produced new information about the topic, or because you realise the nomination was a mistake. Withdrawing a nomination can save other editors' time by cutting short the discussion.

To withdraw a nomination, add a note saying "'''Withdrawn by nominator'''" immediately below your nomination statement at the top of the discussion, give a brief explanation, and sign it.

If no one has supported deletion of the article you may close the discussion yourself as a [[WP:Speedy keep]], or you may leave it for someone else to close the discussion.
