Forum:Deletion Policy

A rough draft of a possible new deletion policy that I put together some while ago. I figured I'd put it up and see what y'all thought of it.

Speedy Deletions
A speedy deletion is one that is processed without warning by an administrator and the creator of the page may or may not be notified of it. These pages should be marked with the Delete template and the reason for its suggested deletion. Mainspace articles that meet these guidelines will garner a speedy deletion from an administrator:


 * Ineligible role play sites that do not meet the requirements.
 * Fan-made characters, Clans and stories.
 * Absolute nonsense; i.e. article with multiple letters congealed together with no discernible words.
 * Advertisements for any purpose; such as for personal role play sites or a store product.
 * Content that is already covered in another article.
 * Inappropriate content; i.e. profanity or mature content

Categories that meet these guidelines will garner a speedy deletion from an administrator:


 * Categories being used for listing a user’s personal opinions, favorites, or if it is not being used as a category at all.
 * A category that has the same content listing as another, and is a duplicate with a different name.

User-related pages, which include the User blog namespace and sub-pages of a user page, that meet these guidelines will garner a speedy deletion from an administrator:


 * Blogs that insult other users and spiral into hot debate and arguments.
 * Blogs that violate Warriors Wiki is NOT and/or the Essay Policy.
 * Blogs focusing on gossiping about a certain user or aspect of the Wiki.
 * Sub-pages that are focused on listing insults against a certain user(s) or aspects of the Wiki.
 * Any user-related page with inappropriate content, such as profanity and mature content.

Deletion Discussions
A deletion discussion is processed when there is a possibility that an article can be put to good use instead of deleted. Discussions take place in this forum and the article is then taken to the Voting Booth to be voted on whether or not it should be deleted.

These pages should be marked with the AFD template, and a link to the forum discussing its possible deletion.

Please post your comments here. Is this superfluous to others of our policies or can we put it to good use? Suggestions, comments and criticism are welcome. This is a rough draft and needs to be polished. -- 04:20, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
