Articles on the AoPSWiki can be '''deleted''' by administrators. 

To ask for the deletion of an article, use <tt><nowiki>{{delete|</nowiki>''reason''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>.

== Guidelines ==
In general, the guidelines for deletion are far less strict than those of [[Wikipedia]], for example.

The following types of articles should be deleted without question:
*Blatant vandalism.
*Test pages.
*Unnecessary redirects.
*Talk pages of deleted articles.
*Advertisements
*Subjects that do not belong in the Wiki (as determined by AoPSWiki admins)
*Non-notable subjects (such as an educational website, book, etc.) are generally not deleted if they contain a neutral, thorough coverage of the section and the topic of the article is suitable for AoPSWiki.

Other solutions include:

*Merging the article into a related article.
*Moving the article to a different [[A:NAME|namespace]].
*Reducing the article to a stub.
