## Microsites

Are sections and are often used by commercial. Unlike tags there is
currently no option to delete a microsite in Tagmanager.

Occasionally there is a request to delete a microsite in order for a redirect
to work. Steps to do this:

* Check the microsite has no content (including expired) associated to it in the
Content API (ask the content-platform team to check Elasticsearch).
* Check that other pieces of content don't refer directly to the microsite page. For example, articles containing links.
* Check our github repo for references to the microsite. We occasionally find hardcoded references to tag pages.
* Providing that is okay delete the microsite directly in Dynamo.
* The microsite will also need to be deleted in Elasticsearch of CAPI.
* The redirect will need to put in place (Dotcom does this).

Tasks for the WebX team:

Tasks for the CAPI team:

- Check the microsite has no content (including expired) associated to it in the Content API (ask the CAPI team to check Elasticsearch).
