## Approving/Declining

Approving is the process of accepting an article into the main database for use in the main namespace articles.
* When a Project lead believes an article is qualified enough to be placed on its article, the article cannot be approved right away, the twenty four hours for CBV still remains. If an article goes without comments for thirty-six hours (three days) the user nominating can <prod> or <nudge> the article for comments.
* If during these twenty-four hours of CBV a comment is placed, the article must go through being CBV'd once more.

## Archiving

* Everything on a talk page should always be archived and stored away safely, so anyone can look back at something for reference.
* Any approved image sections should be archived in the current Approved Nominations Archive, and any declined or withdrawn articles sections should be archived in the current Declined Nominations Archive.
* Talk page sections should **never** be blanked. No user is permitted to blank a section off the talk page or cover it with something else.
