OrthodoxWiki:Deletion policy

From OrthodoxWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This page is an official policy on OrthodoxWiki. It is considered a standard for the wiki.


An article may be deleted from OrthodoxWiki by a sysop for any of the following reasons (non-exclusive):

  • Its sole purpose is vandalism (obscenity, nonsense, etc.).
  • It has no content (may include only headers or external links).
  • It is not encyclopedic (may be an essay, personal opinion, polemic, directory, etc.)
  • It is not directly relevant to the Orthodox Church.
  • It is non-notable (i.e., not important enough to history to be included in an encyclopedia).
  • It duplicates an existing article.
  • It is in a user's personal userspace who has requested deletion.
  • There is a consensus of editors and sysops that the article is inappropriate or unnecessary.
