One should not confuse patent nonsense with: * Very poorly written articles. Poorly written articles may need a lot of work to bring them up to Memory Alpha's standards, but they are not patent nonsense. Allow them to stay in the database, list them on pages needing attention. * Immature fragments or stubs. Sometimes, someone might write a stub that covers the subject very poorly and seems to make little or no sense. However, it is most likely not patent nonsense. * Trolling. Occasionally, a Trek-hating "troll" will visit Memory Alpha and write insulting messages to the members. Although this is not desirable, it is not patent nonsense. Patent nonsense is generally: * Vandalism. Examples of vandalism generally includes what the vandal thinks are humorous messages or partially on-topic article fragments that distort the meaning of the subject. For more information, 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, are 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!)
