New page

{{shortcut|GS:DEL|GS:DP|GS:DELETE|Deletion policy}}

Adhere to the '''deletion policy'''. Most deletions fall under [[GSWiki:Criteria for speedy deletion]].

==Cases where a page can be deleted==
*It meets the [[GSWiki:Speedy deletion policy|speedy deletion criteria]].
*It is for maintenance purposes, such as merging or redirecting.
*If a user requests their userpage, or a subpage of his or her userpage, deleted.
*If consensus has been reached to delete the page at [[GSWiki:Requests for deletion]].
*If a version of the page has content that can be hazardous to its users or the wiki. This includes but is not limited to: Links to unverified applications, malware. Oversight should be requested for the offending edit instead of deleting the page outright, if possible.
*Duplicate files of the same item or location should be deleted, with preference going to the first image, or the oldest version of the image first. Multiple versions of essentially the same item or location can be merged together instead of being deleted as well. Users should be encouraged to upload files using [[GSWiki:Image policy|existing naming conventions]] where possible.
*If a user has been indefinitely blocked, the user and talk pages should be deleted. Except in cases where talk pages contain valid discussion or points that are required to understand the block.

==Cases where a page shouldn't be deleted==
*Legal threats were made by a third party. The infringing page content should instead be removed, and at the third party's request, the edit overseen.
*Deleting would stir up a small controversy among editors, even if (a) criterion/criteria for deletion had been met.
*Historical images of Gemini Station should be preserved, even if the content is otherwise not currently being used in any articles on the wiki at the moment. This includes but is not limited to images whose file format has changed (changing from GIF to PNG format, for example), and images marked with the '''{{t|SD}}''' tag. Where possible, historical images should be merged into the file history using the file merge administration tools, or otherwise explicitly noted on the current version of the image as having a historical version.
