SmashWiki:Deletion policy

This page documents an official SmashWiki policy, a widely accepted standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. If in doubt, consider discussing changes on the talk page.

The deletion policy dictates what should and shouldn't be deleted from this wiki.

Good cases

• A page which contains information that has very little chances of becoming a real page. For example, a page with just "wow i love samus so much don't you? lol" will not go anywhere.

• User pages should only be deleted only if the user requests it or if it's a userpage made by a vandal. It is impossible to delete an account, however the user page can be deleted.

• Advertising, spam, and random nonsense or gibberish.

• Copyright violations. Taking images/pages from a website that is not freely licensed and without proper attribution.

• Useless or incorrect redirects, categories, or templates.

• Pages in another language. This wiki is English, if you would like to start a SmashWiki in another language, you may request one if it is not already available.

Bad cases

• Stubs. Stubs, no matter how small, could one day become a very long article.

• A page that requires a cleanup. These pages are just in need of attention, they do not need to be deleted.

• Vandalism. Blanking pages and inserting random words can be reverted, unless a page was created that had an obscene or random title.
