Philosiverse Wiki:Deletion Policy

Pages that do not meet Philosiverse Wiki’s writing guidelines or go against the site rules may be deleted.

= Criteria =

G1- Out-Of-Universe
Philosiverse Wiki is a wiki about the Philosiverse. Therefore, no pages or files should have anything related to the “real world”.

G2- Copyright Infringement
Pages or files must not infringe upon any copyrights. All files/media must also have attributions if you were not the original creator, unless they are in the public domain.

G3- Duplicate Pages/Files
To avoid redundancy, pages/files that are clearly duplicates of other existing pages/files may be deleted.

G4- Obvious Spam/Trolling
Pages/files should not be created just to spam or troll. This includes low-content pages and memes.

G5- Offensive Content
Although we have automated filters in place to prevent inappropriate content from being posted, sometimes a user might find a way around these filters. Pages created solely for the posting of offensive content/getting around filters may be deleted.

G6- Created By A Ban-Evader
If a banned user comes back under a different account name/IP address, any pages that they created may be deleted.

A1- Unfinished
Articles must be complete before being posted onto the site. If you wish to work on an article and see what the finished product would look like, please use a sandbox instead.

A2- Nonsense/Gibberish
Articles cannot just be filled with gibberish/spam. This includes low-content articles and articles clearly created just to test wiki markup. If you wish to test wiki markup, use the sandbox.

T1- Useless Templates
If a template has no use (it is created purely to test wiki markup), it may be deleted.

T2- Obsolete Templates
Templates may be deleted if they are superseded by a newer template.

F1- Corrupted Files
Files must be actually useable to be posted to the site. If you are having trouble getting your file to upload properly, please let an admin know about the issue rather than trying to upload it yourself.

F2- Poor Attribution
Media must be attributed/cited properly. If you are the original creator, put “Original Work By Uploader” where the attribution usually goes.

C1- Empty Categories
Categories that have no pages or files for over 14 days may be deleted.

C2- Redundant Categories
Similar to G5 (see above). If a category is basically identical to another category, it may be deleted.

U1- Banned User
If a user is permanently banned and is not able to appeal, their user page may be deleted.

U2- User Request
Users can request for their Userpages to be deleted.

U3- Nonexistent User
Userpages may be deleted if the user they are apparently for does not exist.
