    #No pages specifically for a flag, alternate flag, or symbol.
    #No pages that are [specific character]gender or [specific song]gender, with the definition "a connection to [character]" or "a connection to [song]". Unless the definition is more complex then that the page will be deleted.

    #We do ''not'' need a page for every possible combination of identities. Pages for "identity combinations" (ie, [[Demibisexual|demisexual bisexual]], [[Heterosexual Homoromantic|heterosexual homoromantic]], etc.) are only allowed if they are 1) A combinations of ''two'' identities. We do not allow pages for combinations of three or more identities, unless all the identities are thematically connected by having the same prefix (ie, [[aroace agender]]). AND 2) They must be exceptionally well known, significant, unique, use exceptionally common identities, or otherwise provide significant new information that cannot be put on any of the related pages. Pronoun variations ([[They/Them Lesbian|they/them lesbian]], etc.) count for this.
    #We do ''not'' need a page for every possible demigender, -flux gender, or -girl, -boy, -nonbinary, etc, variation of a gender. These pages are redundant and there are infinitely many of these variations. Therefore, pages for specific demigenders, -flux genders, and other variations of genders are only allowed if they are exceptionally well known, significant, unique, or otherwise if ''significant'' new information is provided that cannot be put on any related pages.

    #Similarly, no pages for combinations of genders where at least one of the genders is an uncommon or not widely used gender. There are infinite possible combinations of different genders, so pages for combination gender identities should not be made unless the genders involved in the combination are widely known and used, such as [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], [[agender]], [[neutrois]], and general [[Xenine|xeninity]] (but NOT specific [[Xenogender|xenogenders]]). Examples of acceptable gender combination pages include [[enboy]], [[Male-Female|male-female]], [[xenogirl]].

    #We do ''not'' need a page for every possible romantic orientation. ''Any'' sexual orientation can have a romantic counterpart, so once again these pages are redundant. Pages for non-aro-spec romantic orientations should only be made if the identity is exceptionally well known, significant, unique, or if significant new information is provided that cannot be put on the -sexual version of the identity.

    #Similarly, we do ''not'' need a page for every possible specific tertiary orientation. Pages for specific tertiary orientations should only be made if the identity is exceptionally well known, significant, unique, uses an exceptionally common prefix, or if the page otherwise provides significant new information that cannot be put on related pages.

    #Do not add redirect pages for no reason. Only add redirect pages if 1) Multiple names for the term are ''commonly'' used. (Do not make redirect pages for uncommon alternate names.) Or 2) Many links already exist to this page and it would be hard to change all of them to the main page.

    ==Allowed With Restrictions==
    Some pages that ARE allowed, but have certain guidelines regarding them.
    #The "beware", "bigoted groups", and "exclusionist groups" categories are strictly for terms that ''exist'' and are used. Do not attempt to "create" new identities specifically to go in this category or create names for "new" groups.
    #We DO allow pages for identities that are reclaimed slurs. However, the page must firstly and primarily focus on it's usage as an identity. The usage as a slur should be mentioned but should not be the main focus of the article.
