This page outlines the different levels of deletion requests, reasons to tag a page for deletion and how to go about doing so.
Deletion Templates
Use {{Delete|reason}}
if you think a page should be deleted. This allows editors to discuss the issue on a thread or the article's talk page. If a page obviously needs to be deleted (e.g. blatant spam/vandalism, extremely inappropriate content or uncontroversial removal of duplicate/typo titles and unwanted redirects), use {{SpeedyDelete|reason}}
.
Criteria
General:
Incorrect title
Used if a name is incorrect or contains a typo.
Type {{Delete|Wrong title}}
Inappropriate Title
Used if a page's title is offensive or extremely inappropriate. Pages of this nature should be nominated immediately for Speedy Deletion.
Type {{SpeedyDelete|Inappropriate title}}
Technical Deletion
Used for general, uncontroversial maintenance such as cleanup of unwanted redirects or empty categories.
Type {{Delete|Technical deletion}}
Duplicate
Used if a page is created that already exists. When marking a page as a duplicate, please link to the duplicated page in your deletion reason for reference by the reviewing administrator, as sometimes it may be preferable to convert the page to a redirect or merge the two pages if one if more developed than the other.
Type {{Delete|duplicate of [[Page]]}}
Vandalism/Spam
Page vandalism can involve fake logos or generally disruptive pages.
Type {{Delete|Fake logo}}
, {{Delete|disruptive page}}
, {{Delete|Vandalism}}
, {{SpeedyDelete|vandalism}}
If you believe a particular logo or capture on a page may be fake and wish to discuss it, flag it with:
{{PossibleFake}}
Irrelevant
Used for pages that have nothing to do with CLG Wiki.
Type {{Delete|Nothing to do with CLG Wiki}}
Non-notable
Used for articles about a non-notable subject.

Used for logos that are an imaginary, fake or fanon/dream logo.
Type {{Delete|Fake logo}}

on the page.
Irrelevant image
Used for images not related to logos, the CLG or the functionality of a template.
Note: non-logo images for user pages are allowed. Such images should be tagged with {{ImageForProfile}}
so that other editors know they are exempt from this criteria and should not be marked for deletion.
Type {{Delete|Irrelevant Image}}
or {{SpeedyDelete|Obvious fake logo}}
on the page.
Inappropriate Content
Used for extremely inappropriate images, e.g. explicit porn, gore. Such files should be nominated immediately for Speedy Deletion.
