== Guidelines ==
In general, the guidelines for deletion are far less strict than those of Wikipedia (https://www.wikipedia.org), 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 [[Help:Namespaces|namespace]].
*Reducing the article to a stub.
