This is a work in progress and not ready for RFC

Speedy deletion requests may be made where the page or item should be deleted immediately without any discussion. Ordinary pages may be marked for deletion with {{Delete}} for administrator attention.

General[edit]

This applies to every type of page, other than pages containing a valid sitelink.

G1. Test page, accidental creation, or page containing nonsense or no valid content
Page contains redundant content that was previously used for testing, was accidentally created, or contains content that is gibberish or of nothing meaningful. This may also include text placed in talk pages (which has no further history) that doesn't help or refer to the related page.
G2. Unused and implausible, or broken redirect
Page is an unused and implausible redirect, or a redirect that is dependent on deleted or non-existent content. Unused talkpage redirects created as a result of a page move and cross-namespace redirects may also be deleted under this criterion.
G3. Content intended as vandalism, threat, or attack
Content that is posted with the intention of causing damage, or with the intention of threatening, harassing, or attacking another person or user. Users that commit such acts are subjected to their accounts being blocked. Content posted with the intention of creating/spreading hoaxes may also be deleted under this criterion.
G4. Recreation of content previously deleted per community consensus
Page or file matches content that was previously deleted per explicit community consensus, with at least one support vote other than proposer.
G5. Temporary deletion for history cleaning or revision suppression
Content temporarily deleted to remove specific revisions containing vandalism, threats/attacks, or personal information.
G6. Uncontroversial maintenance
Content temporarily deleted to make way for a page move, or other uncontroversial maintenance tasks that require temporary or permanent deletion.
G7. Author requests deletion
If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content of the page was added by its author, or if the sole author blanks a page other than a userspace page, a category page, any type of talk page, or any type of entity page. This does not apply to any entities that is linked from other entities by users other than the creator.
G8. Page dependent on deleted or non-existent content
The page or file depends on content that was deleted or no longer existing, such as orphaned talkpages without useful content, subpages without parent page.
