Exceptional Circumstances
These temporary criteria apply to large scale cleanups of problematic pages that would overwhelm the normal deletion processes. Each criterion should be deprecated as it becomes unnecessary.

X1. Redirects created by Neelix
In response to the discovery of the creation of over 50,000 questionable redirects over a period of years by the user "Neelix" in November 2015, the community authorized a temporary extension of the G6 criterion to include any redirects created by Neelix if the reviewing admin reasonably believes that the redirect would not survive a full deletion discussion under the snowball clause. It was then split into its own criterion in this discussion. Admins are asked to add the word "Neelix" to their deletion rationale in order to clarify that it was done under this temporary criterion. Any user in good standing is free to re-create any of these redirects if they believe they serve a legitimate purpose. This extension of the criterion will be rescinded when the community concludes the problem has been brought down to a more reasonable level and can be handled by Redirects for discussion.

X2. Pages created by the Content Translation Tool
In response to the July 2016 discovery of the creation of about 3,600 questionable articles created using the content translation tool over the previous year, the community authorized a temporary criterion for speedy deletion to include any pages created by the tool that the reviewing admin reasonably believes would not survive a full deletion discussion under the snowball clause. Admins are asked to add "CXT" to their deletion rationale in order to clarify that it was done under this temporary criterion. All pages deleted with this tool should be checked to ensure that the tool did not overwrite an acceptable article. This extension of the criterion will be rescinded when the community concludes the problem has been brought down to a more reasonable level and can be handled by Articles for deletion and Proposed deletion.
