Sometimes if a page does not meet certain requirements or does not belong on the wiki, it needs to be deleted. Content Moderators and Administrators have deletion permissions. All other users can mark a page for deletion by adding the delete template. It is highly recommended that you discuss the necessity with the community before deleting the page.
Vanilla items
Any item that exists in Vanilla Minecraft should not be added as a page. The only exceptions are items that have a SkyBlock related purpose. One example of this is the page for Prismarine Shard. Because this item can be used in SkyBlock specific recipes (Guardian Chestplate for example), they require their own page. An example of a page that was deleted because it has no SkyBlock related purpose was Nether Brick Stairs.
Grouped items
Some items have been grouped into individual pages because they are very similar in how they act and the content on them is relatively small. For example, all of the pickaxes in the game have been merged into the Pickaxe page. This includes Vanilla and SkyBlock ones. If the page Wooden Pickaxe was created, it would be a candidate for deletion due to it existing in a grouped page. Some exceptions to this rule are items with significant information on them, like Accessories, or Armor sets. A redirect should be left to prevent confusion.
Nonexistent-items
If an item does not exist in-game, it should be deleted. An example of a page that was deleted since it had no SkyBlock related purpose was Elytra. SkyBlock runs in 1.8.9 meaning that the Elytra does not exist in-game, and is not obtainable.
Troll articles
Many vandals intentionally create troll articles with no other purpose than to exist and possibly offend others. These should be deleted.
Duplicate articles
Sometimes somebody creates a duplicate article, not knowing that it already exists. If the information on that page is unique, it can be moved to the main one, and then deleted. To prevent confusion in the future, a redirect should be left.
Tutorials
If a tutorial is unnecessary or unneeded, it should be deleted, or at least rewritten. Sometimes duplicate tutorial articles arise. In this case, info should be merged into the original article and the newer deleted.
How to mark a page for deletion
If you do not have the necessary permissions to delete a page, you should leave a link and a reason in the deletion channel on the wiki discord. If you do not have access to it, you can also leave a message on their wall. Another option would be to add the {{delete}} template to a page by selecting Insert -> Template -> and searching for "delete". You can then add the template at the top of the page, double click the template, and add a reason in the box. If you use Classic editor or Source editor, you can type {{delete}} to automatically add the template. This also works in Visual editor.
How to protect a page from creation
If you are a content mod or above, you should have a Power Delete option in the Edit Page drop-down menu. You can select this option to delete this page and fill in the boxes to customize the protection level, reason, and expiry time.
