initial draft of removal types and reasons
Content removal requests fall into two categories: '''immediate removal''' (copyright violation or privacy concern) and '''discussed removal'''. The ability to remove content on the wiki is restricted to users with Administrator (page deletion) and/or Suppressor roles (deletion of revisions and logs).
== Priority removal ==
Prioritized immediate removal may be warranted due to copyright violation or privacy concerns.
=== Copyright violation ===
Free licenses should be used whenever possible for content on the wiki. In cases where this is not possible, non-free content might be added under a "fair use" principle as the wiki is nonprofit and intended for educational purposes.
Reasons to report copyright violation include:
* false copyright and/or authorship claims
* non-free content is not considered "fair use" (especially if the copyright holder has this claim!)
''TODO: how to report copyright violation''
=== Privacy concern ===
Individuals may request removal of identifying information about themselves.
Reasons to request removal of private information include:
* the individual authored information about themselves and would like it removed
* the information is not publicly available elsewhere
=== How to request priority removal ===

== Undiscussed removal ==
Removal without discussion is warranted in the case of obvious spam. If content is not obviously spam but may be outside the scope of intended content on this wiki, "discussed removal" is warranted.
