... PS: You should theoretically have every right to delete the content "By user request." Otherwise, it wouldn't be a default reason in the deletion settings of the article mainspace. just asked Jr Mime in chat, he confirmed that we can delete test wiki, personal things but NOT our own fan fictions... When anyone contributes something to a Wikia wiki, they give up ownership of it. That's what the license agreement means. The only way Wikia would outright delete it is if Wikia finds out the contributor was under 13 years of age and therefore legally prohibited from agreeing to the TOU.

They accept the licensing terms of the CC-BY-SA... which accords the contributer copyright ownership of the content and allows copyright waivers written in the license for the attributed usage, remixing or distribution as per the full legal license and whatever variant you use. I'll also take your word on Wikia not outright deleting it.

The only content where you give up ownership is the Fandom Program - what you do when contributing is give Wikia the right to host and distribute the content. Technically, they do not need the specific clause as they have cited you in the article history under the CC-BY-SA (which is a fancy copyright license with conditional "free" usage).
