There are many essentially blank articles here at WoWWiki, many of which will likely never have any content, or articles which were created by mistake and the author deletes the contents, but forgets to ask for the article to be deleted. This policy is originated in the necessity to be able to skirt long-winded votes for deletion for even essentially blank articles which have never had any content. The idea of this is to let admins know what articles could probably be deleted without collateral damage such as the loss of a fellow WoWWikian.
