Feed The Beast Wiki:Deletion policy

The deletion policy (shortcut: DP) describes when and where Editors can delete pages.

G1: Nonsense, vandalism or spam
This covers deletion of nonsense, vandalism and spam. Generally, the creator should be blocked for a short time.

G2: Test pages
This covers deletion of pages of test pages made by anonymous editors. Test pages created by logged-in users should generally not be deleted; if a logged-in user creates a test page, rather than being deleted the test page should be moved to their userpage (like to User:USERNAME/Sandbox or something similar).

G3: Unambiguous copyright infringement or plagiarism
This cover deletions deletion of pages that violate copyright law or plagiarize. This includes articles that were clearly copied from a third-party wiki, including ftbwiki.org. If only a section was copied, it is preferred to remove the copied section rather than delete the entire page.

G4: Insufficient content
This covers pages with insufficient content, or a "super-stub" This is not to be confused with a stub. Stubs, WIP and incomplete pages should be marked with Stub, WIP, or Incomplete, respectively. A page with insufficient content doesn't contain any information besides from what could be deducted from the title; for example "The Grass Block is a block." would be a super-stub and should be deleted.

G5: Duplicated articles
This covers articles duplicating a particular topic. This is a rare occurrence, but sometimes it may happen. The article of higher quality should be kept, with the article of lower quality deleted after making sure the article of higher quality contains all of the information the article of lower quality has/had. The new merged article should use the most appropriate name out of the two. A redirect usually should be created.

G6: Miscellaneous uncontroversial deletion
This page does not cover every single reason why a page might need to be deleted. If an Editor has a good reason to delete a page and nobody else challenges this deletion, they do not have to go through any red tape. If this deletion is challenged, the deleted page should be promptly restored and then the issue should be discussed.
