Deletion policy

The Wikinvest deletion policy describes how material which does not meet the relevant content criteria is identified and removed from Wikinvest.

Reasons for deletion include but are not limited to violation of copyright, content not verifiable in a reliable source, articles about companies with less than $100 million in market cap, and articles whose purpose appears promotional.

Deletion of a Wikinvest article removes the current version and all previous versions from view. Unlike page blanking, which can be performed (or reverted) by any user, deletion can be performed only by administrators. Administrators can also view deleted pages and reverse ("undelete") any deletion. All such actions are logged.

Reasons for deletion

Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising related subject)
• Copyright infringement
• Hoax articles (but not articles describing a notable hoax)
• Images that are unused, obsolete, violate fair-use policy, or are not relevant to investment research
• Inappropriate user pages
• Inflammatory redirects
• Article information that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources
• All attempts to find reliable sources in which article information can be verified have failed
• Articles about newly-coined words or terms (i.e. neologisms) not supported by reliable sources.
• Patent nonsense or gibberish
• Vandalism that is not correctable
• Companies with Market Capitalizations less than $100 million not existing on the NYSE, NASDAQ, or AMEX.
• Stock Spam or pump & dump schemes
