Wikipedia:Deletion policy
This policy page is in English, and probably will even after we get a translation into Dorerin Naoero
Not everything gets a place on the Wikipediya Dorerin Naoero. This includes mainspace pages, user pages, templates, files, you name it.
Reasons to delete[edit source]
- If a page is pure vandalism, promotional or out of the scope of Wikipedia.
- Mainspace pages not in the correct language. Please note that a little bit of English here and there wouldn't matter a lot, but when an article is 100% in English, that is when it gets deleted.
- Attack pages
- Pages created by banned users of this wiki. Note that if a user is blocked on another wiki, that is not a reason to delete the page
- Copyright violations
What not to delete[edit source]
- When a page is small in content, even if it is only four words long. Dorerin Naoero is only known to about 15000 people, so even the smallest text is welcome.
- If a page was created by a banned user on this wiki, but was substantially improved by others.
- Pages that look like a red link farm. Instead, consider creating those pages.
- Files that are already on Commons. It was probably uploaded locally because it isn't a free file.
How to nominate a page for deletion[edit source]
- For local sysops, just delete it. For others, place the code
{{delete}}
and then an administrator will come and delete it. For global sysops, do not delete it unless you are very sure it does not belong here.
Revision deleting material[edit source]
Revision deletion should be done to potentially libellous material and some others too
- Inappropriate or libellous material
- Edits by LTAs. Long-term abusers often just want to get their edit in the history, so deny recognition and delete the revision.
