==Deletion of project pages{{Anchor|Deletion of project namespace pages}}== {{main|Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion}} {{seealso|Wikipedia:User pages#Deletion of user pages|Wikipedia:Drafts#Deleting a draft}} {{shortcut|WP:PRJDEL}} If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page. Disputes over page content are usually not dealt with by deleting the page, except in severe cases. The content issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of [[Wikipedia:Resolving disputes|dispute resolution]] should be used first, such as listing on [[Wikipedia:Requests for comments|"requests for comments"]] for further input. If a project page clearly satisfies a "general" [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion criterion]], it should be tagged with the [[WP:GCSD|appropriate template]]. The usual deletion process is to post a request at [[WP:MFD|miscellany for deletion]] to have project pages [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]]. Make sure that a notice of the request is posted to the talk page of the affected project. If the project is under a parent WikiProject, a notice should be posted there as well. Essays, information pages, and other informal pages that are only supported by a small minority of the community may be moved to the [[Wikipedia:Userfication|primary author's userspace]] over deletion. The Wikipedia community has historically tolerated a wide range of Wikipedia related subjects and viewpoints on [[Wikipedia:User pages|user pages]]. It is generally preferable that [[Wikipedia:Inactive WikiProjects|inactive WikiProjects]] not be deleted, but instead be marked as {{tlp|WikiProject status|inactive}}, or redirected to a relevant WikiProject, or changed to a task force of a parent WikiProject, unless the WikiProject was incompletely created or is entirely undesirable. See [[WP:INACTIVEWP]] for more details. ===Policies, guidelines and process pages === {{see|Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)}} Policies, guidelines and process pages should not be nominated for deletion, as such nominations will probably be considered [[Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point|disruptive]], and the ensuing discussions [[Wikipedia:Speedy keep|closed early]]. The {{tl|Disputed tag}} template is typically used for claims that an essay, WikiProject advice or information page was recently assigned guideline or policy status without [[WP:PROPOSAL|proper or sufficient consensus]] being established. See [[WP:Local consensus]] for more details. ===Copyright violations=== {{main|Wikipedia:Text copyright violations 101}} If the entire project page is a copyright violation, nominate it for [[WP:CSD#G12|G12 speedy deletion]] with {{tlx|db-copyvio|<nowiki>url=link to the source text</nowiki>}}. For issues only affecting specific revisions on a page (where other page versions are fine), [[WP:CFRD|revision delete]] is usually more appropriate. To request revision-deletion for copyright violations, see {{tlx|Copyvio-revdel}} for details.
