== The deletion process ==

When an editor notices a page that may not be relevant to the wiki, may be [[Nix by example|in violation of the wiki's policies]], or may not be up to the standards in the manual of style, there are two possible avenues to take.

When an editor notices a page that may not be relevant to the wiki, may be [[Nix by example|in violation of the wiki's policies]], or may not be up to the standards in the manual of style, there are two possible avenues to take. However, if the page checks any of the ''Speedy deletion criteria'' below, the page may be deleted right away.

The first avenue, which is '''preferred''' is to mark the page with one of the templates that signal significant issues with the article (listed in the related section below). This gives the editors the chance to rectify the issues without requiring a more destructive solution to the situation.

=== Speedy deletion criteria ===

# Pages containing '''nonsense or gibberish'''.

# Pages used solely for '''testing''' purposes. This includes templates that are unused.

# '''Vandalism'''.

# Deletion candidates that were '''requested by its sole author'''.

# Pages that obviously qualify as '''copyright infringement'''.

# Pages that obviously qualify as '''advertising or promotion''', with little documentation value.

# '''Technical pages''' such as disambiguation pages or redirects.
