Template:Pfid-exceptions


 * 1) Unused redirects.
 * 2) No meaningful content or history (eg "sdhgdf"). See patent nonsense.
 * 3) Test pages (e.g. "Can I really create a page here?").
 * 4) Pure vandalism (see dealing with vandalism).
 * 5) Very short pages with little or no definition or context.
 * 6) Reposted content that was deleted according to this deletion policy. This does not apply to undeleted content that was undeleted according to undeletion policy.
 * 7) Pages created and edited solely by a banned user, after they were banned (see bans and blocks).
 * 8) New VistApedia user home pages accidentally created in main article space. However, move content to their user home page first, and consider waiting a day or two before deleting the resulting redirect.

Administrators may also delete pages for the following technical purposes:
 * 1) Deleting a redirect that has no useful history, to make way for a non-controversial page move.
 * 2) Temporarily deleting a page in order to merge page histories after a cut and paste move.
 * 3) Deleting an image page not adhering to the naming conventions after "copying" the image to another title.
