Although we want to have all material due to Marspedia Policies there are some cases making the deletion of articles, images or categories necessary. These are:

  • Somebody creates an article, image or category with a misspelled name inadvertently. When she/he becomes aware of it, she/he wants to get rid of it.
  • Two articles on the same subject are merged. Usually a redirection is the right thing to do, but in certain cases one of the names might be useless.
  • A category might become useless after a change in the category tree.
  • An article, picture or category has been posted by a vandal.
  • An article or picture has been created (maybe unwittingly) in violation of copyright.

Anybody can nominate an article, image or category for deletion by just listing it in the appropriate section below. The deletion itself can only be done by a user with sysop permission. The deletion log can be viewed here.

Articles for deletion

I would like to give the author a few more days to put the article in the correct context (see also PPark's talk page). -- Rfc 16:01, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
The title is now a redirect that is not needed. There is not much reason to further consider deletion. --Farred 15:57, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Climbing is seemingly a copyright violation. If it is not a violation and we remove it anyway, it is a small loss. It is not vital to our topic. It was created by User:76.114.114.75 on the 31st of August 2010. He has not made any other contribution since. See the articles talk page. --Farred 16:06, 21 September 2010 (UTC) deleted by Strangelv 18:30, 3 June 2011

Images for deletion


The following files were uploaded by user:PPark. I explained him that only English is allowed on Marspedia. No adequate reaction from him ever since.

The following files were posted by adverising bot.

Categories for deletion

  • Category:Mirrored from Lunarp - Created in error.
  • Category:Human Missions (This category is redundant with "Manned Missions", is not part of the tree, is not used with an article and thus is useless.) - category removed by Ioneill 20:14, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Category:MarsDrive - This category is not part of the tree, - is styled as if it were an article, - is not used with an article, - is a violation of GNU Free Document License (copy from wikipedia). - category removed by Jarogers2001 22:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirects for deletion

  • Space Suit (capital letter starts the second word. This is only a dead redirect.) -- no need to delete, redirect still operating. May delete later if required. Ioneill 22:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Space Suits (plural. This is only a dead redirect.) -- redirect edited to "Space suit", may delete at a later time. Ioneill 22:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Mars 105 and Mars-105 (Dead redirect pages. These redirect pages have names that actually do not exist.)
