Some articles are of no use to the Wiki. These articles may be nominated for speedy deletion. Speedy deletion means that an Admin can just delete the page without consensus, as there is no plausible reason to keep it.
To nominate an article for speedy deletion, add the template {{Speedy deletion|Reason(s) for deletion} to the page.
This page explains when an article should and shouldn't be nominated for speedy deletion.
Good cases
- A page with no useful content, for example a page with the content "Farmville is so cool!" isn't of any use, so can be delete.
- Articles on things that do not exist. For example, an article on the space ship decoration should be deleted (unless a space ship decoration is released).
- Any page created to advertise a product/website/service should be deleted.
- Spam articles (such as a page filled with 'ewrighw)&^*JKLS\G798V87^9*_) can be deleted.
- Pahes in another language; this is an English Wiki. Any other languages should have their own Wiki.
- Useless categories or template, such as a 'poop' category or template
- Useless images or videos
- Unused templates
- Test pages (eg. 'Can I really post here?')
- Reposted content that has already been deleted
- Talk pages of already deleted articles
- Empty categories
Bad cases
- Stubs could potentially become a long article.
- A page that requires 'cleanup'. These pages just need to be edited and cleaned up, not deleted.
- Vandalism. If a page is vandalised, the vandalism should be reverted.
