+{{Shortcut|WI:DPP}}
+A '''deleted protected page''' here on {{tag|WikiIndex}} is an [[article]] (or [[Special:Categories|category]]) page that is the target of being repeatedly recreated, and is typically [[spam]] or other off-topic material.  When an {{tag|admin}}istrator discovers constantly recreated pages, they [[WikiIndex:Protected page|protect]] it so that only [[sysop]]s can (re)create it.

+===For [[Special:ListAdmins|admins]]===
+#[[Block]] the [[editor]] who created said unwanted article or [[category]] page;
+#[[Delete]] the said unwanted article or category page;
