The deletion policy of Tolkien Gateway is relatively straightforward. There are no strict rules regarding this matter and issues are dealt on a case-by-case basis.
If you believe a page needs to deleted as soon as possible, add the template {{delete}} to the top of the article. If an administrator agrees it will be deleted without discussion; if not, they will likely raise the matter on the talk page or remove the template altogether.
Deletion after discussion
If you think a page is not suited for this encyclopaedia, you can discuss the proposed deletion on the talk page. If there is a consensus in your favour it an administrator will delete the page.
Deletion without discussion
The administrators can delete content, pages, articles and files without notice on the following occasions:
- Spam;
- Vandalism;
- Copyright violation;
- Duplicate files/pages;
- Articles not in English;
- Obvious advertising or self-promotion;
- When a copyright-holder has requested we remove their material;
- When a administrator confidently believes that a page falls well outside of our notability policy;
- Where content is no longer used or useful (such as former templates and categories).
