- No content, and no edits for a reasonable period of time (more than a couple of weeks)
- Copyright-infringing content (marked with copyvio, and no edits for a reasonable period of time
- Irrelevant content (e.g. spam or advertisements)
- Pointless redirect page (i.e. one which encourages people to link to the wrong thing, and which will never be used)
