One should not confuse patent nonsense with:
* Poorly written articles. Poorly written articles may need a lot of work to bring them up to quality standards, but they are not patent nonsense. Allow them to stay in the database and list them on pages needing attention.
* Immature fragments or stubs. Sometimes a stub covers the subject poorly and seems to make little or no sense, but it is probably not patent nonsense.
* Trolling. Occasionally, Trek-hating "trolls" post insulting messages to the members. Although not desirable, this is not patent nonsense. Patent nonsense is generally:

* Trolling. Occasionally, Trek-hating "trolls" post insulting messages to the members. Although not desirable, this is not patent nonsense. Patent nonsense is generally:
* Vandalism. Examples of vandalism generally include what the vandal thinks are humorous messages, or partially on-topic article fragments that distort the meaning of the subject. See: Dealing with vandalism.
* Non-wikified articles. A good sign of patent nonsense is an article that is completely unformatted and contains no links to other pages.
* Childish entries. Articles that are completely disorganized, of an immature writing level, and say a lot without covering more than the basics of the subject are probably patent nonsense.
* Completely off-topic articles. If the article has absolutely nothing to do with the title's subject, it's probably patent nonsense. (Be careful, though — sometimes this might be an innocent mistake on the author's part.)
