AoPS Wiki:Deletion policy

Shortcut: A:DB

Articles on the AoPS Wiki can be deleted by administrators. To ask for the deletion of an article, add {{delete|reason}} to the article.

Guidelines

In general, the guidelines for deletion are far less strict than those of Wikipedia, for example.

The following types of articles should be deleted without question:

• Pages made for the purpose of spam
  • Blatant vandalism.
  • Advertisements
• Test pages.
• Unnecessary redirects.
• Talk pages of deleted articles
• Subjects that are not included in the TOC or do not belong in the AoPS Wiki, as determined by Administrators.
• Pages whose titles are unnecessarily long, and pages with bad titles in general

Possible Exceptions:

• Non-notable subjects (such as an educational website, book, etc.) are generally not deleted if they contain a neutral, thorough coverage of the section and the topic of the article is suitable for AoPS Wiki.

Other solutions include:

• Merging the article into a related article.
• Moving the article to a different namespace.
• Reducing the article to a stub.
