Articles on the AoPSWiki can be deleted by administrators.
To ask for the deletion of an article, use {{delete|reason}}.
Guidelines
In general, the guidelines for deletion are far less strict than those of Wikipedia, for example.
The following types of articles should be deleted without question:
- Blatant vandalism.
- Test pages.
- Unnecessary redirects.
- Talk pages of deleted articles.
- Advertisements
- Subjects not related to subjects in focus of AoPSWiki (not within the scope of one of the subheadings of the table of contents.
- Non-notable subjects (such as an educational website, book, etc.) are generally not deleted if they contain a neutral, thorough coverage of the section and the topic of the article is suitable for AoPSWiki.
Other solutions include:
- Merging the article into a related article.
- Moving the article to a different namespace.
- Reducing the article to a stub.
