Though the deletion that is massively carried in Wikipedia can be challenging to understand, it’s often amazement when the individual comes to know the real principles of the crowdsourced platform. At first, the website that allows a community of volunteers to run is considered carefree, however, the reality Wikipedia is still making efforts in this quickly changing phenomena of promise to knowledge and execution. The content on Wikipedia should come up with the criteria of publication set by the website. There are some set process for deletion on Wikipedia and every one of them is unique and taken for the different levels of misrepresentation.
