This template should be used when the article appears to be written like a news article or a press release. It is used when the article may not be promotional or overly-negative, but is still unencyclopedic in tone.
Contents
Placement
Place at the top of the article or sections or both to alert editors.
Usage
- articles
- For articles needing major clean-up, place
{{Cleanup-PR|article}}
at the top of the main page. - For articles needing minor clean-up, place
{{Cleanup-PR|article}}
at the top of the talk page.
- sections
- To mark specific sections instead of the whole article, place
{{Cleanup-PR|section}}
at the top of the section.
- remarks
- To replace the text "article or section", supply a first argument, e.g.
{{Cleanup-PR|article}}
{{Cleanup-PR|section}}
- To replace the text "a press release", you may use
{{Cleanup-PR|article/section|yourtext}}
or{{Cleanup-PR|2=yourtext}}
- You may use the optional date parameter, e.g.
{{Cleanup-PR|date=June 2025}}
. This helps with the categorization of articles requiring attention. - The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste
{{Cleanup-PR|date=June 2025}}
at the top of the article or talk page. - Add a new item to the talk page explaining the problem so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.

- Is a subject notable? See:
- Wikipedia:Notability (summary)
- Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)
- WP:B2B - a user essay about business notability, and about articles which cite only the trade press
- For notable subjects, you may also use:
- {{News release section}} - used for sections of articles that need cleanup
- {{Cite press release}} - a citation template used to acknowledge a press release source
- {{Unbalanced}}
- {{POV}}
- {{Advert}}
- Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard
- If you are unsure that a subject is notable:
- Tag it with {{notability}}. But an IP may then silently remove the tag. So:
- Also nominate it at Articles for deletion in order to find out what others think.
- If it was created by a single-purpose account, say so; also, tag it with {{autobiography}}.
- If a subject is not notable, use {{notability}} plus either Articles for deletion or G11 speedy deletion.
