Citizendium articles are intended to be encyclopedia articles. Accordingly, there are several things that they are not:

  • Dictionary definitions. A mere definition, or list of senses of a word, is not useful as an encyclopedia article. May be deleted.
  • Advertisement. Articles that paint companies, products, books, and other marketable items in typical marketing terms are not encyclopedia articles, they are ad copy. See also Policy on Self-Promotion. May be deleted.
  • Essays or advocacy. Encyclopedia articles are general and neutral introductions to topics. Idiosyncratic and biased essays are not welcome here. May be deleted.
