Poistopyynnön

Poistopyynnön is a Finnish term that translates to "deletion request" in English. It is a process used in Finnish-language online communities, particularly on Wikipedia, to propose the removal of a page or content that is deemed unnecessary, irrelevant, or violates the community's guidelines.

The poistopyynnön process is typically initiated by a user who believes that a particular page or content should be deleted. The user submits a formal request outlining the reasons for the deletion, which is then reviewed by other members of the community. The review process involves a discussion where community members can express their opinions and vote on whether the content should be deleted or retained.

The decision to delete or retain content is based on the community's guidelines and policies. In the case of Finnish Wikipedia, the guidelines include criteria such as notability, verifiability, and neutrality. If the content meets these criteria, it is likely to be retained. However, if it does not meet the criteria or violates the guidelines, it may be subject to deletion.

The poistopyynnön process is an essential part of maintaining the quality and relevance of online communities. It ensures that the content is accurate, reliable, and useful to the users. It also promotes transparency and accountability, as the decision-making process is open to all members of the community.
