A personal language with a '''non-sufficient content''' and a '''long inactivity''', may be deleted. The time of inactivity varies with the content and the deletion can be done on administrator initiative - for example: a user has approximately one month upon creation of a language to add substantial content.  If a language is risking deletion, a watch notice should be left on the author's talk page. In case of deletion, a deletion notice should be left on the author's talk page. If a user wants a language recreated, leave a petition to the administration.
A personal language with a '''non-sufficient content''' and a '''long inactivity''', may be deleted. The definition of "non-sufficient" and "long inactivity" is arbitrary, and it is up to the administrators to assess whether articles ought to be deleted or not. However, a user has approximately one or two months upon creation of a language to add substantial content.  If a language is risking deletion, a watch notice should be left on the author's talk page. In case of deletion, a deletion notice should be left on the author's talk page. If a user wants a language recreated, petition should be left with the administration.
