===General criteria===
#'''[[Wikipedia:Patent nonsense|Patent nonsense]]''' and [[gibberish]], an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does ''not'' include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or [[Wikipedia:Don't create hoaxes|hoaxes]] of any sort; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases.
#'''Test pages''' (e.g., "Can I really create a page here?").
#'''Pure [[Wikipedia:vandalism|vandalism]]'''.
#'''Recreation of deleted material.''' A copy, by any title, of a page deleted via a [[Wikipedia:Deletion debates|deletion discussion]], provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes to it do not address the reasons for which it was deleted. This does not apply to content that has been [[Wikipedia:Userfication|moved to user space]], undeleted via [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]], or deleted via "[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion"]], or to speedy deletions (although in that case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply).
#'''Banned user'''. Pages created by banned users ''while they were [[Wikipedia:Banning policy|banned]]''.
#'''Housekeeping'''. [[Wikipedia:Consensus|Non-controversial]] maintenance, such as temporarily deleting a page to [[Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves|merge page histories]], performing a uncontroversial [[Help:Renaming (moving) a page|page moves]], or cleaning up redirects.
#'''Author requests deletion''', if requested in good faith, and provided the page's only substantial content was added by its author. If the author [[Wikipedia:Glossary#Blanking|blanks]] the page, this can be taken as a deletion request.
#'''[[Help:Talk page|Talk page]]s whose corresponding article does not exist''', except for deletion discussion that is not logged elsewhere, [[Wikipedia:Talk page|User Talk pages]], talk pages for images on Wikimedia Commons, or talk [[Wikipedia:Subpage|''subpages'']] (such as archives) whose corresponding "top-level" page exists.
#'''[[Wikipedia:Office Actions|Office actions]]'''. The Wikimedia Foundation office reserves the right to speedily delete a page temporarily in cases of exceptional circumstances. Deletions of this type should not be reversed without permission from the Foundation.
#Pages that serve no purpose but to '''disparage their subject''' or some other entity (e.g., "John Q. Doe is an imbecile"). These are sometimes called "[[Wikipedia:Attack page|attack pages]]". This includes a [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biography of a living person]] that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced, where there is no [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral]] version in the history to revert to. Administrators deleting such pages ''should not quote the content of the page'' in the deletion summary.
#'''Blatant [[Wikipedia:Spam|advertising]]'''. Pages which exclusively promote some entity and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does ''not'' qualify an article for this criterion.
#'''Blatant copyright infringement.''' Text pages that meet all of the following:
#* The material was copied from another website or other source (but consider the possibility that the other copy was obtained from Wikipedia - see [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks]]);
#* There is no non-infringing content worth saving;
#* The material was introduced at once by a single person; and
#* There is no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a free license.
#:<!-- INDENTATION HACK - DO NOT REMOVE THE "MISMATCHED" TAGS --></dd></dl>Notify the page's creator when tagging a page for deletion under this criterion; the template <code>{{[[Template:Nothanks-sd|nothanks-sd]]}}</code> is available for this. After deleting, administrators should recreate the page from earlier noninfringing page content if available.  If multiple deletion criteria apply, list them all on the deletion summery.  If notified of a plausible error, the deleting administrator should restore the content and, if a confirmation e-mail has not been received, follow the [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] procedure, replacing the article with the <code>{{[[Template:Copyvio|copyvio]]}}</code> template. Some suspected copyright infringements are listed at [[Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations]]. <dd><dl><!--END OF INDENTATION HACK-->

=== Articles ===
#'''No context'''. Very short articles with little or no context for their statements. ''Example: "He is a funny man with a red car and makes people laugh."''  ''Context'' is different than ''content'', treated in A3, below.   
#'''Foreign language articles that exist on another Wikimedia project'''. If the article does not exist on another project, use the template <code>{{[[Template:Notenglish|notenglish]]}}</code> instead, and list the page at [[Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English]] for review and possible translation.
#'''No content'''. Any article (other than [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages|disambiguation pages]]) consisting only of links, category tags and "see also" sections, rephrasing of the title, and/or chat-like comments.  However, a very short article may be a valid [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub]] if it has context.
# (''Placeholder to preserve numbering; merged with A3.'') <!-- DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE.  NEEDED TO MAINTAIN EXISTING NUMBERING -->
#'''[[m:Help:Transwiki|Transwikied]] articles'''. Any article that either consists only of a dictionary definition or that has been discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]] with an outcome to move it to another wiki, after it has been properly moved and the author information recorded.
#(''Placeholder to preserve numbering; superseded by [[#G10]].'')
#'''No assertion of importance/significance.''' An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not state why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]], [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]] and [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliability of sources]]. If controversial, list the article at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]] instead.
#(''Placeholder to preserve numbering; superseded by [[#G12]].'')<!-- DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE.  NEEDED TO MAINTAIN EXISTING NUMBERING -->

=== Redirects ===
*[[Special:BrokenRedirects]]
*[[Special:DoubleRedirects]]
*[[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]

In some cases it may be possible to make a useful redirect by changing the target instead of deleting it.

# Redirects to '''deleted pages''' and to '''nonexistent pages'''.
# Redirects '''to the Talk:, User: or User talk: [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]''' from the article space (this does not include the [[Wikipedia:Shortcut|Wikipedia shortcut]] pseudo-namespaces). If this was the result of a page move, consider waiting a day or two before deleting the redirect.
# Recently created redirects from '''implausible [[Typographical error|typo]]s or [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions|misnomer]]s'''. However, redirects from common misspellings or misnomers are generally useful, as are redirects in [[:Category:Redirects from alternative languages|other languages]].

===Images===
Images that have no source, or have an unknown copyright, or are unused or replaceable fair-use, or are fair-use without [[wikipedia:fair use rationale|rationale]] can be marked so that they will be deleted after a week, and should not be listed on this page. Add one of the following to the image page:
# '''{{tls|nsd}}'''    ...if an image has no source indicated
# '''{{tls|nld}}'''    ...if an image has a source but no licensing information
# '''{{tls|orfud}}'''  ...if an image has a fair use tag but isn't used in any articles
# '''{{tls|rfu}}'''    ...if an image has a fair use tag but could be replaced by a free image
# '''{{tls|frn}}'''    ...if an image has no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]] and was uploaded after [[May 4]], [[2006]]
#{{tlp|isd|''Full name of image '''excluding''' the "Image:" prefix''}}    ...for speedy deletion if the other image is on Wikipedia, ''not'' on Commons
#{{tlsp|ncd|image name on Commons}}    ...if the image now exists on Commons, or {{tls|ncd}} for images with the same name on Commons

For other licensing issues, use [[Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images]].

Images that are hosted on [[Commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] cannot be deleted via this process. Please use [[Commons:Commons:Deletion requests|the Commons deletion page]] instead.
