The Sims Wiki:Deletion: Difference between revisions

Most fanon articles that undergo deletion are deleted by "author request." This occurs when the fanon author either,; A) places a {{t|Delete}} or {{t|Speedydelete}} template on their own fanon page; B) requests page deletion on the [[TSW:AN|Administrators' Noticeboard]], or; C) intentionally {{WP|WP:BLANK|blanks the page}}. In these cases, a fanon author can later request that a fanon page be un-deleted either by contacting the administrator or content moderator that deleted the page, or by posting a request on the [[TSW:AN|Admins' Noticeboard]].

Sometimes, fanon is deleted for reasons other than by the author's request. The Sims Wiki has [[The Sims Wiki:Fanon Standards|basic standards for fanon quality]], and fanon articles which do not meet these standards may be nominated for deletion by adding {{t|fanon-delete}} to the articles. Typically, a fanon author is given a period of time to edit their fanon page(s) in order to bring them in-line with the standards before deletion proceeds. Additionally, The Sims Wiki requires that all fanon authors be registered, logged-in users, and works of fanon created by unregistered or logged-out users are deleted if the article is unclaimed by a registered and logged-in user within a few days of its creation.
