Warcruft Wiki:Deletion policy

When an article or some other lowly murloc of a page is ugly or unrelated to Warcruft, then it may be a candidate for deletion.

Speedy deletion
If the article is generally too ugly for the wiki, then it may fall under the speedy deletion criteria. All pages matching these criteria except for #5 can be deleted on sight by an administrator. To tag a page for speedy deletion, type  or   at the top of the evil page.


 * 1) Vandalism (Plague). This includes nonsense, test pages, attack pages and generally any page that is incomprehensible, meaningless, unconstructive or hurtful.
 * 2) Spam/Advertising (Random Viagra or hack). Any article which is mostly made of external links or promotes a company or service.
 * 3) Copyrighted material (Illegal spork). If a newly-created page is found to have parts of it copyrighted from a webpage, then they will be deleted and the URL from the source will then be provided in the deletion summary.
 * 4) Problematic redirects. These are redirects which are broken, unused or left over from a pagemove.
 * 5) User request (Slay it!). This includes pages that their author does not want anymore. This only applies to pages in the user's own namespace except when they create a page by mistake.
 * 6) Housekeeping. This is only for pages created by mistake which were not created by the deletor or the tagger.

Slow deletion
This is for articles and other pages that don't fit the speedy deletion criteria but are also unworthy of being in the wiki. Such pages may be tagged for proposed deletion. To propose a page for deletion, type at the top of it. They will be deleted after 4 days if the tag is not removed.


 * 1) Not related to Warcraft/off topic. If such articles are not improved to relate to Warcraft in 4 days from tagging, then they will be deleted.
 * 2) Deletion requested (Requested for overthrowing). This applies for pages proposed for deletion for reasons other than #1 and the speedy deletion criteria.
