Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/New criteria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

✘ This Wikipedia page is currently inactive and is retained as a historical archive.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus has become unclear. If you want to revive discussion regarding the subject, you should seek broader input via a forum such as the proposals page of the village pump.

The following new speedy deletion criteria, or modifications to existing criteria, have been suggested on CSD talk. This is just a summary and nothing here is a formal proposal, but if people think it's a good idea a part of it may become a formal proposal. Note that some of the below are weaker or stronger versions of one another, some are redundant, and some may be bad ideas.

Please discuss on the talk page.

[edit] Now applicable criteria

  • An article about a website that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject.
