Deletion Policy

Why are pages deleted?

 * Copyright infringement
 * Spam/vandalism
 * If you create a page by mistake

Process for deleting pages
Pages with copyright infringement issues or pages which have been vandalized are subject to immediate deletion

Pages which were created in error can be added to the DeleteMe_Page. Pages on the DeleteMe_Page are reviewed and then deleted on a regular basis.

Adding tags
One of the best alternatives to deletion is to add a tag to a page. This tag will alert other users of problems with page which require fixing:
 * - pages with formatting issues
 * - pages with content issues (style, etc.)
 * - pages which are considered to be incomplete (require additional content)
 * - pages which are not considered to be neutral

Discussion Pages
Users are encouraged to use the discussion pages (click on the 'discuss this page' link in the left hand toolbar) if they have questions or comments about page content.

Merging Pages
If pages with similar or related content exist, the content from these pages can be merged. Usually this means that there are 2 pages; one with a more complete set of information. In this case, the information in the less complete page is added to the page that is more complete. Finally the now empty less complete page is redirected to the more complete page.
