This page is used for requesting the speedy deletion of a page on the Steamfront wiki. Only wiki administrators have the ability to speedy delete pages, but any user may ask for a page to be speedy deleted.

(See here for further information about the administrator's duties with regard to the speedy deletion of pages.)

[edit] Speedy Deletions vs. Deletions

A page is eligible for speedy deletion if it matches any of the following criteria:

1. Copyright violation: The page is a copyright violation.
2. Offensive or illegal: The page contains offensive or illegal content (such as pornography or death threats to the President).
3. No Content/Incoherent Content: The page contains no more than a line or two of content that cannot clearly be expanded, or consists of random or incoherent content. Includes pages created by adbots or vandals.
4. User Errors: The page is the result of user error (such as misspelling the name of a Faction)
5. Broken Redirects: The page is a Broken Redirect (ie. redirect that goes nowhere) that cannot be fixed.
6. Empty Category: The page is a Category page that has no entries within it.
7. Missed Talk Page: The page is a talk page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request.
8. Author Edit Only: The page has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author, and has been edited only by its author.
9. User Pages: The page is a User subpage that has been requested for speedy deletion by the user.

[edit] Making a Speedy Deletion Request

Deletion requests are to be entered underneath the Current Speedy Deletion Queue header, below.

Every deletion request must include the following information:

1. A link to the page to be deleted.
2. A reason for deletion.
3. A signature (with timestamp).

Once a deletion request has been made, an administrator will review the request and choose whether or not to delete it. The deletion of the page will occur immediately, if necessary. The decision with regards to deletion rests with the adminstration team.
