This article is about criteria for speedy deletion. For candidates which have already been nominated, see Category:Speedy deletion candidates.

Appropriate cases[]

Articles[]

  • Advertising and spam. Posting random websites or things like "Google is awful; try Brand X Search Engine free for 10 days!" aren't contributing anything to the wiki.
  • Pages that are filled with nonsense. For example, pages with titles such as "dahoshagohfoug" or content like "dafjkl;afjlstupiddkaf;jdsk" have no point in being on this Wiki.
  • Pages containing original research or a large bias. For example, "According to a poll I conducted among my friends, RuneScape member subscriptions are too expensive." This doesn't help at all and it's personal opinion. These pages will be deleted.
  • Vanity pages. For example, "hi my name is Bob and i play RuneScape every day. my main character is lvl 100 and i have ten other characters, also." These pages are pointless and contribute nothing to the Wiki.
  • Pages that are riddled with copyright violations. Taking images, lines of text, or entire pages from a website is not permitted. This criterion may or may not apply to RuneScape's Game Guide, depending on the circumstances.

Images[]

  • Useless images, like "File:Lolcatz.jpg".
  • Low quality, duplicate, or personal images.
  • Images that do not meet guidelines outlined here.

Other[]

  • User pages that have been created by an I.P., or possess content that blatantly violates one of Dark RuneScape Wiki's policies (i.e. offensive language, scamming advice). Older user pages can be deleted only if the user requests it. It is impossible to delete an account, though the user page can be deleted.
  • Useless redirects, like #REDIRECT [[That one guy in RuneScape]].
  • Redirects left behind when moving a page between different namespaces, more commonly known as "move artefacts".
  • Pages in another language. This is an English Wiki, no other languages are allowed. If you wish to make an article in another language, please contribute the article to one of our sister language Wikis.
  • Useless or duplicated categories/templates, like a "poop" category.

Inappropriate cases[]

  • Stubs, no matter how small, could one day become a very long article.
  • A page that requires a cleanup. These pages are just in need of attention, they do not need to be deleted.
  • Vandalism. Blanking pages, adding unneeded images, and inserting random words don't help the wiki at all. These cases can be reverted, unless a page was created that had an obscene or random title.
  • A page that has existed for a long period of time but has not received many edits. This should instead be nominated for deletion.
