Article scope

Article titles

• See Moegirlpedia:Article titles.

Page deletion policy

When a page is involved in one of the following situations, the maintainer should delete it. If a regular user finds a page in one of the following situations, they can request it in the discussion board, and the maintainer will confirm it and decide whether to deal with it. The maintainer should note that in such cases, the user's request must be fully examined and the reason for deletion/direct deletion must be specified, and that "user request" is an acceptable reason for deletion only in some cases.

Maintainers should be aware that deletion of a page is a serious task and that some of its results are irreversible (e.g. comments on a deleted page are irreversibly lost even if the page is restored). It is the duty of the maintainer to check whether the corresponding page and its content have the possibility of being improved on/repaired by other means before marking said page for deletion/speedy deletion.

The following pages should be deleted directly

1. Pages that violate the local laws and regulations of Moegirlpedia.
2. Pages that violate the content management policy and pose a potential threat to the safety of Moegirlpedia's operations.
3. Pages that contain a significant amount of content in categories I-II of the "Specific acts of vandalism" section of the Anti-Vandalism Policy.
4. Pages whose content is mostly or all meaningless text (generally pages included in Chapter 3, Articles 1-7 of the "Specific acts of vandalism" section).
5. Pages in the "Main" namespace that involve the two cases mentioned in the "not included" section of the Scope of Inclusion.
6. Pages in the "Main" namespace that infringe on the copyright of others as a whole (only if part of the content infringes on the copyright of others).
7. Pages disguised as site policies/guidelines in the "Moegirlpedia:" or "Help:" namespaces.
8. User pages that are no longer used according to the user's application.
9. User pages belonging to usernames that comply with the "Violations" section of the username policy.
10. Pages that have been improperly redirected in accordance with the "Deletion policy" section of the redirects policy.
11. Pages that are no longer used for various reasons.

• • To prevent abuse, the reason for discontinued use should be specified in the reason for deletion/speedy deletion.

The following pages should be reasonably moved or deleted

1. Incorrectly created pages should be moved to other appropriate pages, and residual redirects should be deleted:

• • Incorrectly named pages (e.g. pages that violate the article naming guidelines).
  • Pages in the wrong namespace (e.g. a user created their sandbox page in the "Main" namespace).

1. Articles in the "Main:" namespace with minimal or poor quality content (e.g., machine-translated, poorly translated, in a foreign language, no actual content, etc.) may be selected for assistance with improvements, moving the corresponding page to the creator user's subpage, or outright deletion, as appropriate.

• • When a maintainer chooses to move an article to a user subpage, they should leave a message on the corresponding user's discussion page explaining the situation.

1. Articles in the "Main:" namespace and their associated pages that do not meet the circumstances in the "Direct Deletion" section and are not included in other chapters can be eligible to be moved to the creator's user subpage or be deleted directly.
2. Pages in the "Moegirlpedia" or "Help:" namespaces that contradict the current policy, guidelines, or majority consensus should be moved to the creator user's sub-page or deleted directly.

The following pages should be merged and deleted

1. Pages in the "Main:", "Template:", "Module:", "Moegirlpedia:", or "Help:" namespaces that are duplicates or highly similar to existing pages (except for redirects).

The following pages should be rewritten or deleted

1. If you create a page describing something in Moegirlpedia in the name of an independent site, you should rewrite the content in the page or move all of its content to another site within seven days. If the page is not completed within seven days, the maintenance staff shall delete the corresponding page.

In addition to the aforementioned deletion methods, if the administrator or STAFF determines that a page should be deleted, they may choose to do so in an appropriate manner.

For pages that violate the content management policy or other laws and regulations, the maintenance staff should delete them immediately and report to the supervisor to hide the relevant page history or logs, or have the supervisor delete them directly, as appropriate.
