Collect meaningful signals
Review page purpose, last factual review, broken references, support questions, and available search context. Avoid using traffic alone to judge value.
Inspect the reader's task
Check whether the page still answers its intended question with current evidence, examples, and practical next steps.
Choose a focused action
Assign retain, revise, combine, or retire with a written reason. Plan URL handling when consolidation affects existing links.
Record ownership and evidence
Name an editor and the source checks needed. Track completed changes with meaningful dates instead of automatically refreshing timestamps.
