Chalo Chatu:Deletion policy
The Chalo Chatu deletion policy describes how pages that do not meet the relevant criteria for content of the encyclopedia are identified and removed from Chalo Chatu. On Chalo Chatu, many pages are deleted each day through the processes outlined below.
Deletion of a Chalo Chatu article removes the current version and all previous versions from public view. Page blanking can be performed (or reverted) by any user, but only administrators can perform deletion, view deleted pages, and reverse ("undelete") any deletion. All such actions (other than viewing) are recorded in the deletion log, and deletion statistics are recorded at Deletion statistics. If in doubt as to whether there is a consensus to delete a page, administrators normally will not delete it.
Reasons for deletion
Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):
- Copyright violation
- Author request
- Broken redirect
- Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia
- Articles that breach Chalo Chatu's policy on biographies of living persons
- Redundant or otherwise useless templates
- Categories representing overcategorization
- Files that are unused, obsolete, or violate the non-free policy
- Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content
- Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish
- Copyright violations and other material violating Chalo Chatu's non-free content criteria.
