Sample Case
This is a sample for how all cases should look like. This is not a real case, but a way every delegate should surface cases. Below is the sample.
Section One:State the parties involved in this case (Don't forget to notify the parties!)
Section Two:State the reason you surfaced this case
Section Three:Specify the suggested block time(Only if this is a vandal case)

Arguments made by the involved parties
The involved parties can enter statements to guide the DelCom in deciding. You can also argue that the DelCom should kill the case for a good reason.
Also, the delegates can come up with a solution to the dispute without taking a poll.
Poll
This is where the delegates decide what will happen. The delegates can either write block, oppose blocking, support (state the party you support), or kill. The options depend on the kind of case. For example, if this is a vandal case, the decisions will be block, oppose blocking, or kill. Writing kill means you want to end the case and no action by the DelCom will take place. Remember, if there is no clear consensus on a decision, the President can appoint up to five to seven temporary delegates.
After there is a consensus, a delegate can close the case.
To close the case, write The outcome of this decision has been (write DelCom decision here. Remember to write in bold!) which has passed with (write consensus percent here).

DelCom decision No. 1
There are two parties involved in this case; The entire Austin Powers Wiki, and Poophead on Wheels!!!.
Reason for launch of case: Poophead on Wheels!!! is the vandal from Wikipedia, now widely known as Willy on Wheels (WoW). So far, Poophead on Wheels!!! (PoW) has moved several hard-worked articles on this Wiki. Now on Wikipedia, it has been known to block on sight when WoW strikes. This user can create the same kind of chaos he created on Wikipedia, probably bringing the WikiDefcon up all the way to One. There is enough proof that PoW has created this chaotic scene just by looking at his user contributions. Moving pages is easy, but reverting the move is hard to do.
The suggested block time should be anywhere between 1 year or infinite.
Under these statements, the DelCom will decide whether to block for 1 year or infinte. Also, the DelCom has another option to drop this case(stop this case and unblock PoW). Also note that this decision will aslo affect Poophead's block. (Case surfaced by Goldmember(talk)(A.K.A Funnybunny) 02:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC))

- Block for indefinte time, even though he is probably an imposter. Dr.Evil(Talk) 15:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
The outcome of this decision has been block for indefinite time which has passed with 66 and two-thirds percent. PoW and Poophead will immediately be blocked for the specified amount of time. When this case was launched, there were three members in the DelCom.

DelCom decision No. 2
There are two parties involved in this case; The entire Austin Powers Wiki, and articles that contain R-rated words.
Reason for launch of case: The article Swinger has been placed into the new Arricle improvment drive last week and since then I have seen more and more R-rated words such as sex & drugs. Proof of this is highly noticable. Once you start to read the swinger article you will end up reading something bad, like oral sex is bolded. I have created two new templates for the article or future articles that have the same probelm. I suggest that we have to rewrite the whole article or delete it before the article becomes a problem and young viewers will learn about "swinging" and start to do it, we will get in trouble.
Under these statements, the DelCom will decide whether to delete the article or rewrite it to fit Austin Powers Wiki's article writing policy.
- Rewrite the article, I think its part of Austin Power's life. No. 2 18:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
