In this paper, we shall prove that a projective‐planar (resp., toroidal) triangulation G has K 6 as a minor if and only if G has no quadrangulation isomorphic to K 4 (resp., K 5 ) as a subgraph. As an application of the theorems, we can prove that Hadwiger's conjecture is true for projective‐planar and toroidal triangulations. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 60: 302‐312, 2009
