Wikipedia:Extreme article deletion
- This page is satire, and we must point this out to the humor impaired as it does not represent any official or unofficial Wikipedia policy, past or present.
Extreme article deletion is an extreme sport in Wikipedia. The goal is to reduce the number of articles in Wikipedia as much as possible, with inventive and original VfD candidates.
Points are awarded to each player for the reasons they give to justify article deletion. Standard arguments include "unencyclopedic," "too short," "no significance," "irreparably (not my) POV," "fancruft," "non-notable," "is a secondary school," and "no hits on Google, so it obviously doesn't exist"; every deletion proposal with these reasons earns one point.
Additional points are awarded for original proposals, or when the article is deleted despite proof of encyclopedic suitability. If an article is only changed into a redirect instead of deleted, only half a point is awarded.
Extreme article deletion has been in progress since 2003 on the German Wikipedia. On 1 April every year, the overall standings of the German deletion champions are assembled; other Wikipedias will follow.

- I'm still fairly new to the community, but I hope to make a name for myself as an extreme deletionist, or at least an extreme redirector. Madame Sosostris 03:11, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
