User blog:Bluecake/Notice: Deletion of pages

Lately, I've been marking quite a few pages for deletion. Every page that has been marked for deletion has the delete template, and can be found in Category:Candidates for deletion.

This wiki has many pages which are only one sentence each, and don't particularly pertain to JumpStart. My reasons for marking them for deletion are that they are not substantial enough, and the topic they pertain to can't be expanded enough to make them substantial.

For example, there exists a page on this wiki for the color red. It's not a character or a place, it's just the color red. This is the only content that page contains: "Red is a color in the JumpStart Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade."

Red, the color, is something that appears in almost all forms of media. It's so universal that it isn't specific enough to be considered JumpStart related. It doesn't seem to be of particular importance to fans of JumpStart either. At the very least, there is not enough that can be said about it to warrant a page.

These are the types of pages I would like to delete. They clutter up the wiki, they are essentially spam, and they don't contain any valuable information to JumpStart fans.

Some pages can be salvaged. For example, some pages about countries, such as Australia and France, only contained one sentence at first too. I've expanded each of these pages to include information from multiple games, and I've added pictures. Now each of these pages has at least one picture and several sentences. I don't require pages to be super lengthy to be considered adequate, but I think a page should at least include more than one or two sentences.

This blog is only meant to announce that pages may be deleted in the future. I am going to make another blog that will list the pages I plan to delete in advance. I will list the name of the page and link to it, and give my reasons for marking it for deletion. If anyone objects to the page being deleted, or they think they can salvage it, they leave a response in the comments. The blog will also serve as a way to keep track of which pages are being deleted.
