{{Anchor|G9}}
;G9. Wikia Staff action
{{Shortcut|TSW:G9}}
[[mw:Staff|MirahezeWikia staff]] and [[m:Stewards|stewardsStaff]] 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 the[[w:VSTF|VSTF]], [[mw:CVTHelper|CVTWikia Helpers]], [[w:Community Central:WM|Wiki Managers]], or any deletions made by staff that were intended to simply remove vandalism, and not from a legal complaint.
 
Pages deleted by Wikia Staff due to a DMCA notice should ''not'' be restored. DMCAInquiries takedownabout notices,the counter-notices,deletion (or inquiriesa aboutcounter-notice, theif deletionapplicable) should be sent to {{nospam|staffcopyright|mirahezewikia.orgcom}}. If you would like to file a DMCA takedown notice, please see [[w:Special:DMCARequest|Special:DMCARequest]], or email the aforementioned address. The Sims Wiki is ''not'' in any position to provide legal advice or to carry out legal proceedings.

;G13. Unambiguous copyright infringement
{{Shortcut|TSW:G13}}
This applies to text pages and files that use content incompatible with the [[The Sims WikiHelp:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International LicenseLicensing|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlikeWikia's licenselicenses]], and have no credible assertion of fair use or public domain. Pages should only be deleted entirely if there is no content in the page history worth salvaging; if there is, the infringing revisions should be [[Project:Revision deletion|revisionselectively deleted]].

{{Anchor|F7}}
;F7. Media file available on Commons
{{Shortcut|TSW:F7}}
This applies to files where an identical or higher quality copy exists on either the [[c:|Wikimedia Commons]] or the [[commons:|Miraheze Commons]]. The file on Commons needs to be in the same file format as the one on {{SITENAME}}, be undoubtedly acceptable and of correct licensing there, and have all needed entries filled out on the file description page (so they do not get deleted). The file must also not be tagged with {{tl|Keep local}}, which requests that a local copy of the file be kept. If the file on Commons has a different file name than the one uploaded locally, all local links to that file need to be updated to point to the one on Commons ''before'' the deletion takes place.

===Userpages===
Line 238 ⟶ 231:
;U2. Nonexistent user
{{Shortcut|TSW:U2}}
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 [[mw:CVTVSTF|CVTVSTF]] member, [[mw:StewardHelper|StewardWikia Helper]], [[w:Community Central:WM|Wiki Manager]], or [[mw:Staff|Staff]] member.
 
* {{tl|Db-u2}}, {{tl|Speedydelete - nonexistent user}}
Line 249 ⟶ 242:
{{Shortcut|TSW:C1}}
This applies to any category page that does not have any pages listed under it for at least seven days. Note that it is possible for pages to be listed in a category even when the category page itself doesn't exist. This does not apply to disambiguation categories, category redirects, or project/maintenance categories that by nature may become empty (such as [[:Category:Pages with citation errors]]).
 
* {{tl|Db-c1}}, {{tl|Speedydelete - empty category}}
 
===Templates===
Line 259 ⟶ 250:
{{Shortcut|TSW:T1}}
This applies to any template page that are unambiguous misrepresentations of established policy, such as speedy deletion templates for criteria not listed as acceptable criteria.
 
* <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{tl|Db-t1}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{tl|Speedydelete - misrepresents policy}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>
 
{{Anchor|T2}}
Line 266 ⟶ 255:
{{Shortcut|TSW:T2}}
This applies to any template page that was originally created for use in an author's fanon that has not been used in over a year, such as a navbox that lists fanon characters in a story or family. The author(s) of the template should be notified at least one month in advance of the speedy deletion nomination.
 
* <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{tl|Db-t2}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{tl|Speedydelete - unused fanon template}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>
 
{{Anchor|T3}}
Line 275 ⟶ 262:
 
This criteria was approved for use on October 9, 2018, via [[Forum:Speedy deletion of copycat templates|community discussion]].
 
* <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{tl|Db-t3}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{tl|Speedydelete - poorly created alternative to template}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>
 
===Fanon===
Line 285 ⟶ 270:
{{Shortcut|TSW:FA1}}
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 eligible 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.
 
* {{tl|Db-fa1}}, {{tl|Speedydelete - fanon of poor quality}}
 
{{Anchor|FA2}}
Line 292 ⟶ 275:
{{Shortcut|TSW:FA2}}
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 eligible 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'''.
 
* {{tl|Db-fa2}}, {{tl|Speedydelete - fanon of very poor quality}}
 
{{Anchor|FA3}}
Line 299 ⟶ 280:
{{Shortcut|TSW:FA3}}
This applies to any fanon page that exceeds what would be considered acceptable on The Sims Wiki. Examples include fanon whose only purpose is to describe [[WooHoo]]; fanon pages that describe WooHoo in intricate detail; fanon that go into excessive detail about self-harm and assault; etc. Merely ''referencing'' scenes of WooHoo, assault, self-harm, etc. is not enough to warrant deletion; instead, the fanon should be tagged with {{t|Adult}}. When in doubt, tag with {{t|Adult}} and consult the fanon author on their talk page.
 
* {{tl|Db-fa3}}, {{tl|Speedydelete - inappropriate fanon}}
 
{{Anchor|FA4}}
Line 306 ⟶ 285:
{{Shortcut|TSW:FA4}}
This applies to any fanon page that belongs to a user that has been indefinitely blocked, or blocked for more than one year. 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.
 
* {{tl|Db-fa4}}, {{tl|Speedydelete - fanon by blocked user}}
 
{{Anchor|FA5}}
Line 313 ⟶ 290:
{{Shortcut|TSW:FA5}}
This applies to any fanon page that was created by an unregistered user and has been tagged with {{t|Fanon-anon}} for at least 72 hours. If the fanon is claimed by a registered user, it is no longer eligible for speedy deletion under this criteria, even if claimed after the 72-hour window.
 
* {{tl|Db-fa5}}, {{tl|Speedydelete - fanon by unregistered user}}
