Shortcut: A:DB

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.
