The Sims Wiki:Criteria for speedy deletion: Difference between revisions

This applies to any page created by a user in violation of their block, or by a user that violates an [[TSW:ER|editing restriction]] placed onto them. This applies to any pages created ''after'' the block/restriction had been applied; pages created before the block/restriction are not eligibleineligible. This does not apply to any page that may be useful or are still widely used, such as a transcluded template.

[[w:Staff|Wikia Staff]] may occasionally intervene to delete pages, usually because of a violation of the Terms of Use or a DMCA Takedown Notice. Such deletions should ''not'' be reversed as this may cause legal troubles. This criteria should be applied to pages that are recreated after staff deletion. Administrators should check the deleted revisions and compare them to the one that has been recreated; if they are identical or similar, it should be deleted under this criteria. G9 does not apply to pages that have been deleted by [[w:VSTF|VSTF]], [[w:Helper|Wikia Helpers]], [[w:Community Central:WM|Wiki Managers]], [[w:Help:Content Team Members|Content Team Members]], or any deletions made by staff that were intended to simply remove vandalism, and not from a legal complaint.

This applies to any file that has been uploaded over one (1) year ago and is not currently being used on any pages. Files that are currently in use on even just one page are not eligibleineligible for this deletion criteria, unless it is being used inappropriately. Also, if the file is linked to in a reasonable manner (such as for a talk page discussion), then this criteria is not applicable, even if it isn't actually used on any pages.

This applies to any fanon files that belongs to a user that has been indefinitely blocked, or blocked for more than one year. "Fanon file" is defined as any file that was uploaded for the sole purpose of being used on a fanon page; files that are used for other purposes, such as within an article, are not eligibleineligible for this criteria. If the block is lifted or expires, the user is welcome to request that their fanons be undeleted on the [[TSW:AN|administrators' noticeboard]], barring any editing restrictions.

This is for userpages of users that do not exist (check [[Special:ListUsers]]). This does not apply to the userpages of IP editors, redirects from misspellings of an established user's userpage, the previous username of a renamed user, or a global userpage template for a [[w:VSTF|VSTF]] member, [[w:Helper|Wikia Helper]], [[w:Community Central:WM|Wiki Manager]], or [[w:Staff|Staff]] member.

This criteria applies to any fanon article that has been tagged with {{t|Fanon-stub}} for at least one year, and the author has been notified at least one month in advance of the speedy deletion nomination. If the author does not improve the fanon within a reasonable period of time, the fanon can be tagged under this criteria. Fanon tagged with {{t|Fanon-uc}} are generally not eligibleineligible under this criteria, unless it is clear that the author is not actually building their fanon and the fanon remains in a state of poor quality for a long period of time after the template was added.

This criteria applies to any fanon article that contains so little content that it is eligible for deletion. It is similar to A1 and A2. If the fanon article is longer than stub length and contains ''some'' context, it is not eligibleineligible for this criteria and should be tagged with {{t|Fanon-cleanup}} or {{t|Fanon-stub}} instead. Like A1 and A2, '''this tag should not be applied moments after a page's creation'''.
