This article is about criteria for speedy deletion. For candidates which have already been nominated, see Category:Speedy deletion candidates.
Appropriate cases
Articles
- Advertising and spam. Posting random websites links doesn't contribute positively to the wiki.
- Pages that are filled with nonsense or gibberish. There is no point in keeping such content.
- Pages containing original research or a large bias. For example, "According to a poll I conducted among my friends, Gemini Station supporter subscriptions are too expensive." This doesn't help at all and it's personal opinion. These pages will be deleted.
- Pages that are riddled with copyright violations. Taking images, lines of text, or entire pages from a website is not permitted.
Media
- Useless images that do not relate directly to Gemini Station, Profiles or Guilds.
- Images that do not meet a number of the guidelines outlined here, to the extent that they can't add to an article.
- Upcoming update images that are now unnecessary due to the update being released.
Other
- Useless redirects.
- Redirects left behind when moving a page between different namespaces or when renaming a file.
- Pages in another language. This is an English Wiki, and content must be in English.
- Useless or duplicated categories/templates.
Inappropriate cases
- Stubs, no matter how small, could one day become a lengthy article.
- A page that requires cleanup. These pages are just in need of attention; they do not need to be deleted.
- Vandalism. Blanking pages, adding offensive material, or inserting random words should be reverted. If a page was created with this content or did not have any legitimate content to begin with, it may be deleted.
- A page that has existed for a long period of time but has not received many edits.
- Images of low quality which still adequately display the subject.
