The Sims Wiki:Pages for deletion

This page is used to discuss pages on The Sims Wiki that are being considered for deletion.

Note that this page is not meant to discuss speedy deletion candidates. Articles must meet specific criteria to qualify for speedy deletion, and such deletions are not subject to community discussion. However, articles that have been mistakenly marked for speedy deletion may be re-marked for normal deletion and discussed here instead. For more information about speedy deletion, please see The Sims Wiki:Criteria for speedy deletion.

Guidelines for deletion
If you encounter a page on The Sims Wiki that you think does not belong on the wiki, you can propose that the page be deleted. When nominating a page for deletion, please consider the following guidelines:


 * 1. Check to see whether the page fits speedy deletion criteria. If an article clearly fits one or more criteria for speedy deletion, nominate it for speedy deletion instead.
 * Articles that can be speedily deleted may include articles consisting purely of vandalism, articles which are wholly irrelevant to The Sims Wiki, fanon articles nominated for deletion by their authors, or other examples.
 * 2. Consider whether a potential candidate for deletion could be merged into another existing page, or if multiple potential candidates for deletion could be combined into a single page instead of deleting them outright. If this is the case, you may want to mark the articles with Merge templates instead, and discuss merging the articles at The Sims Wiki:Pages for merging.
 * 3. Check the page history to see if the page was recently created. It is possible that a very short article has only recently been created, or is still being written by the original author. As a general courtesy, consider giving the original author some time to finish writing the page before nominating it for deletion, or reach out to the original author on their talk page to learn of their plans.
 * 4. If a page is very short but otherwise would be a good fit for the wiki, consider expanding the page with additional information or merging it with other pages about similar content instead of deletion. If a page is poorly-written but otherwise would be a good fit for the wiki, consider editing the page to improve the writing rather than nominating the page for deletion.

If a page warrants deletion, please follow the instructions below to nominate the page for deletion and to start the deletion discussion.

Deletion procedures

 * 1. Only pages which have been nominated for deletion are discussed for deletion. Nominating a page for deletion is done by adding the Delete template to the top of a page.
 * 2. Create a subpage for the deletion discussion. To do this, start a new page with the title "The Sims Wiki:Pages for deletion/."
