Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion

Skip to: Table of contents / current discussions / old business (bottom). Purge this page

WP:MFD

Please do not nominate your user page (or subpages of it) for deletion here. Instead, add {{db-userreq}} at the top of any such page you no longer wish to keep; an administrator will then delete the page. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for more information.

Miscellany for deletion (MfD) is a place where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic pages in the namespaces which aren't covered by other specialized deletion discussion areas. Items sent here are usually discussed for seven days; then they are either deleted by an administrator or kept, based on community consensus as evident from the discussion, consistent with policy, and with careful judgment of the rough consensus if required.

Filtered versions of the page are available at

Information on the process[edit]

What may be nominated for deletion here:

Pages not covered by other XFD venues, including pages in these namespaces: Draft:, Help:, Portal:, MediaWiki:, Wikipedia: (including WikiProjects), User:, TimedText: and the various Talk: namespaces
Userboxes (regardless of namespace)
Pages in the File namespace that have a local description page but no local file (if there is a local file, Wikipedia:Files for discussion is the right venue)
Any other page, that is not in article space, where there is dispute as to the correct XfD venue.

Requests to undelete pages deleted after discussion here, and debate whether discussions here have been properly closed, both take place at Wikipedia:Deletion review, in accordance with Wikipedia's undeletion policy.

Before nominating a page for deletion[edit]

Before nominating a page for deletion, please consider these guidelines:

Deleting pages in your own userspace	If you want to have your own userpage or a draft you created deleted, there is no need to list it here; simply tag it with {{db-userreq}} or {{db-u1}}. If you wish to clear your user talk page or sandbox, just blank it.
Duplications in draftspace?	Duplications in draftspace are usually satisfactorily fixed by redirection. If the material is in mainspace, redirect the draft to the article, or a section of the article. If multiple draft pages on the same topic have been created, tag them for merging. See WP:SRE.
Deleting pages in other people's userspace	Consider explaining your concerns on the user's talk page with a personal note or by adding `{{subst:Uw-userpage}} ~~~~` to their talk page. This step assumes good faith and civility; often the user is simply unaware of the guidelines, and the page can either be fixed or speedily deleted using {{db-userreq}}. Take care not to bite newcomers – sometimes using the {{subst:welcome}} or {{subst:welcomeg}} template and a pointer to WP:UP would be best first. Problematic userspace material is often addressed by the User pages guidelines including in some cases removal by any user or tagging to clarify the content or to prevent external search engine indexing. (Examples include copies of old, deleted, or disputed material, problematic drafts, promotional material, offensive material, inappropriate links, 'spoofing' of the MediaWiki interface, disruptive HTML, invitations or advocacy of disruption, certain kinds of images and image galleries, etc) If your concern relates to these areas consider these approaches as well, or instead of, deletion. User pages about Wikipedia-related matters by established users usually do not qualify for deletion. Articles that were recently deleted at AfD and then moved to userspace are generally not deleted unless they have lingered in userspace for an extended period of time without improvement to address the concerns that resulted in their deletion at AfD, or their content otherwise violates a global content policy such as our policies on Biographies of living persons that applies to any namespace.
Policies, guidelines and process pages	Established pages and their sub-pages should not be nominated, as such nominations will probably be considered disruptive, and the ensuing discussions closed early. This is not a forum for modifying or revoking policy. Instead consider tagging the policy as {{historical}} or redirecting it somewhere. Proposals still under discussion generally should not be nominated. If you oppose a proposal, discuss it on the policy page's discussion page. Consider being bold and improving the proposal. Modify the proposal so that it gains consensus. Also note that even if a policy fails to gain consensus, it is often useful to retain it as a historical record, for the benefit of future editors.
WikiProjects and their subpages	It is generally preferable that inactive WikiProjects not be deleted, but instead be marked as {{WikiProject status\|inactive}}, redirected to a relevant WikiProject, or changed to a task force of a parent WikiProject, unless the WikiProject was incompletely created or is entirely undesirable. WikiProjects that were never very active and which do not have substantial historical discussions (meaning multiple discussions over an extended period of time) on the project talk page should not be tagged as {{historical}}; reserve this tag for historically active projects that have, over time, been replaced by other processes or that contain substantial discussion (as defined above) of the organization of a significant area of Wikipedia. Before deletion of an inactive project with a founder or other formerly active members who are active elsewhere on Wikipedia, consider userfication. Notify the main WikiProject talk page when nominating any WikiProject subpage, in addition to standard notification of the page creator.
Alternatives to deletion	Normal editing that doesn't require the use of any administrator tools, such as merging the page into another page or renaming it, can often resolve problems. Pages in the wrong namespace (e.g. an article in Wikipedia namespace), can simply be moved and then tag the redirect for speedy deletion using {{db-g6\|rationale= it's a redirect left after a cross-namespace move}}. Notify the author of the original article of the cross-namespace move.
Alternatives to MfD	Speedy deletion If the page clearly satisfies a "general" or "user" speedy deletion criterion, tag it with the appropriate template. Be sure to read the entire criterion, as some do not apply in the user space.

How to list pages for deletion[edit]

Shortcut

WP:MFDHOWTO

Please check the aforementioned list of deletion discussion areas to check that you are in the right area. Then follow these instructions:

Instructions on listing pages for deletion:

To list a page for deletion, follow this three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page, including its namespace, to be deleted)

Note: Users must be logged in to complete step II. An unregistered user who wishes to nominate a page for deletion should complete step I and post their reasoning on Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion with a notification to a registered user to complete the process.

I.

Edit PageName:

Enter the following text at the top of the page you are listing for deletion:

{{mfd|1={{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}}}
for a second or subsequent nomination use {{mfdx|2nd}}

or

{{mfd|GroupName}}
if nominating several similar related pages in an umbrella nomination. Choose a suitable name as GroupName and use it on each page.

If the nomination is for a userbox or similarly transcluded page, use {{subst:mfd-inline}} so as to not mess up the formatting for the userbox.

Use {{subst:mfd-inline|GroupName}} for a group nomination of several related userboxes or similarly transcluded pages.

Please include in the edit summary the phrase
Added MfD nomination at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replace PageName with the name of the page that is up for deletion.
Please don't mark your edit summary as a minor edit.
Check the "Watch this page" box if you would like to follow the page in your watchlist. This may help you to notice if your MfD tag is removed by someone.
Save the page

II.

Create its MfD subpage.

The resulting MfD box at the top of the page should contain the link "this page's entry"

Click that link to open the page's deletion discussion page.
Insert this text:

{{subst:mfd2| pg={{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:PAGENAME}}||2}}| text=Reason why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
replacing Reason... with your reasons why the page should be deleted and sign the page. Do not substitute the pagename, as this will occur automatically.

Consider checking "Watch this page" to follow the progress of the debate.
Please use an edit summary such as Creating deletion discussion page for [[PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
Save the page.

III.

Add a line to MfD.

Follow this edit link and at the top of the list add a line:

{{subst:mfd3| pg=PageName}}
Put the page's name in place of "PageName".

Include the discussion page's name in your edit summary like
Added [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
Save the page.
If nominating a page that has been nominated before, use the page's name in place of "PageName" and add

{{priorxfd|PageName}}
in the nominated page deletion discussion area to link to the previous discussions and then save the page using an edit summary such as
Added [[Template:priorxfd]] to link to prior discussions.

If nominating a page from someone else's userspace, notify them on their main talk page.
For other pages, while not required, it is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the miscellany that you are nominating. To find the main contributors, look in the page history or talk page of the page and/or use TDS' Article Contribution Counter or Wikipedia Page History Statistics. For your convenience, you may add
{{subst:mfd notice|PageName}} ~~~~
to their talk page in the "edit source" section, replacing PageName with the pagename. Please use an edit summary such as
Notice of deletion discussion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the nomination page you are proposing for deletion.
If the user has not edited in a while, consider sending the user an email to notify them about the MfD if the MfD concerns their user pages.
If you are nominating a WikiProject, please post a notice at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council, in addition to the project's talk page and the talk pages of the founder and active members.

Agree, this article should be deleted. Bduke (talk) 05:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Rayan al-ahmary[edit]

This user page, which is the only edit by this editor, appears to be a translation of a copy of Samarium cobalt magnet from Arabic. It is a redundant fork, and so not a current copy of Wikipedia's information on the subject, and an attribution violation. The question that is known only to the editor, if even to them, is why an editor would do nothing but create a translation of a page into Arabic and save it as a user page. Regardless of why, it is not permitted. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:40, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Working link: Samarium-cobalt magnet. Flounder fillet (talk) 14:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:DON RAJA[edit]

This user page is an old copy of Portal:Geography, and is the only edit made by this one-edit wonder. As a copy of a portal, it is a redundant fork that has none of the navigational features of a portal. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, delete it. Bduke (talk) 03:32, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April 17, 2024[edit]

User:Giomurtaz[edit]

Machine translation shows that this is a copy from Wikipedia of a large amount of information about Minecraft. This has been the only editing by this user, except that the user talk page is a copy of the Roblox page, probably by the same user but logged out, and in English. This is probably U5 and in any case is not related to the English Wikipedia. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom.—Alalch E. 02:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Plgu-lds[edit]

This user page and this sandbox appear to be almost identical, and are the only edits made by this editor. They are almost certainly copied from a copyrighted source (although I did not find it on a brief search). They are not in any form resembling drafts and so do not appear to be related to Wikipedia. They are probably U5 and probably G12. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - +68,145‎ edit saved only half an hour after the previous one, user definitely copied at least a significant part of this page from somewhere without crediting the original author. Flounder fillet (talk) 14:47, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Giomurtaz[edit]

WP:COPIES of Roblox Flounder fillet (talk) 19:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as another redundant fork. This is slightly different because it is in user talk space rather than user space, and the copy was done by an IP. So user page guidelines may not apply, but it is still a redundant fork. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The user page, User:Giomurtaz, is also being tagged for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a redundant fork of an existing article, which does not match the content of the article as the article is updated.
- - It is likely that one human comes back from time to time to create these redundant forks that are copies of Roblox as a stupid game. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Aidil2018[edit]

This user page consists of predictions of political events, and outlines for predictions of sports events, that were in the future at the time that it was created, but are now in the past. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. These predictions were the primary editing of two user accounts, almost certainly one human, who made only a few other edits. They are marginal as to U5, and were crystal balling. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not blatant, but still a WP:NOTWEBHOST violation - user was clearly trying to use Wikipedia as some kind of free substitute for spreadsheet software for purposes unrelated to the project. Flounder fillet (talk) 20:26, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:The8Annihilator/sandbox[edit]

WP:COPIES of Roblox Flounder fillet (talk) 15:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a redundant fork of an existing article. The originators of these two or more redundant forks of Roblox are likely the same human, which is sockpuppetry, but the data is not only stale but very stale. These were likely a stupid exercise in amusement. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:47, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Guillermo Morán Loyola[edit]

A machine translation of this user page from the Spanish begins: "Architectural synthesis. Compendium of personal research." So this appears to be original research by an editor whose only contribution was this original research. It will never be a viable draft, both because it has no references, and because it is original research. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - likely a use of Wikipedia for unrelated purposes, therefore a WP:NOTWEBHOST violation. Flounder fillet (talk) 20:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete compendium of personal research per nom.—Alalch E. 12:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:منجى محروس[edit]

Machine translation from Arabic shows that this is a very long and very poorly organized discussion of Christian scriptures, by an editor who created it in their user page, and has not used Wikipedia otherwise. It is not clear whether this was meant to be a draft article or a school assignment or whatever, so it is not obviously a candidate for U5, but it can never be brought into any usable form. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:36, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - User posted this massive page 12 minutes after creating an account, this is 100% copy-pasted and probably copyvio (copyvio checker unfortunately doesn't work for Arabic). Flounder fillet (talk) 20:35, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jamayare21[edit]

Machine translation shows that this is an unreferenced draft article about a village in Hiraan in Somalia. It is the only contribution of an editor who did nothing else. It does not qualify for U5 because it appears to be a poor-quality draft, but it is not about to be part of the English Wikipedia either in its current form or in a machine translation.

User:Edison Broce Urriola[edit]

This user page is an unreferenced autobiography of a living person. The subject appears to be politically notable, but that notability is not verified, and verifiability is a non-negotiable policy. Creating this fake article in user space was the only activity by this editor. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:09, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unreferenced BLP, also given the length and the fact that this was created in a single edit this is likely either a copy or copyvio. Different article about same subject already exists in mainspace. Flounder fillet (talk) 19:59, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Elbertajrq[edit]

This user page is an unreferenced autobiography of a living person . The fact that the subject is politically notable is not a reason to keep an unreferenced BLP. McClenon mobile (talk) 09:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Yo Yo Sourav Kundu[edit]

This user page is a resume by a user who has made no other use of Wikipedia than to post this resume, and so can be deleted as U5. It is also an unreferenced biography of a living person. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete U5 is a criterion for speedy deletion. A speedy deletable page is obviously also deletable. Flounder fillet (talk) 00:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COPIES. Crude copy-pastes of English language and Respiratory system mixed with each other. Flounder fillet (talk) 23:33, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As per nom, this is an old copy of an article. This copy was made by an editor who made one edit, creating this copy, and then departed.

The "potential U5s" database report (well, actually a modified version of it, because it's broken right now) detects these along with U5s (and a wide range of other strange user behaviour, I'd say about half of the English-language user pages in it's output are deletion-worthy) because it looks for long userpages of users with no mainspace edits.

Bouzinac, you may be the person most interested in keeping the page. Updating the whole translation would be a major task, particularly as the page (like the 2008 ja article) has no sources. Producing a stub like would be easier and keep the history. TSventon (talk) 10:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If putting any effort in translation start by translating the current Japanese article at ja:アーバンネットワーク. The content on the nominated page is unsourced. The antiquated revision of the Japanese article of which it is a copy is also unsourced. The current revision reads differently and has a fair number of references. We cover this topic in West Japan Railway Company#Urban Network; that is also unsourced and coverage seems weak. It would certainly be better to start fresh if translating. Creating an incentive for editors to translate this antiquated unsourced content is a net negative when they could be translating the good content.—Alalch E. 00:45, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no policy grounds on which to delete. It's a fine draft with potential for inclusion in the encyclopedia, and if not quite as a standalone article, it could be merged into the already-existing content on this topic at Analog horror#The Monument Mythos; and not only should, it will be merged, because I will do it (unless the draft is moved to article space, which I haven't decided on yet).

This isn't very mature. He's in a really bad mental spot and I think its for the better to help him recover. There is no reason to adopt an article about a subject that the creator of said subject would like to be removed.

It is not clear whether this topic is notable or not. It may or may not be. In either case, I recommend removing all BLP information.

Keep - This seems like a draft with promise, even if currently I'm a bit dubious about its notability (much of the sources seem to be top 10 lists and trend pieces). If nothing else it can be merged into Analog horror#The Monument Mythos. I'll also note for DeIIveloper that this article doesn't belong to the creator of the work and, while in the case of a BLP of a relatively unknown person who requests deletion, we may acquiesce, per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE), this is not a biography and has very little bio information in it, so doesn't really qualify.

Draft:Doucet, Quebec[edit]

This place does not appear to exist. I couldn't find it in the Canadian Geographical Names Database ([1]). There are a number of places or features called Lac-Doucet, but the only one that is a place (and not a geographical feature) is located at 46° 28′ 4″ N, 72° 38′ 23″ W, which is near Trois-Rivieres, neither north nor west. But notwithstanding not being able to find it on a map, I did find a source for the claimed coldest temperature record ([2]) which we've repeated (unsourced) in other articles, which seems like it warrants further investigation. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I did find a Doucet, Quebec in the Canadian government's weather database, and it does record a temperature of -54.4 C on February 5, 1923. ([3]) There is no data for this place after the mid-1930s, and the coordinates given are the middle of a forest. Maybe there was a logging camp or something near here 100 years ago? I haven't been able to find any more information, AI has made Google absolutely useless for this kind of thing. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:45, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Existence operating systems[edit]

"Draft template" created by an anonymous IP, with no obvious explanation of what it would be used for. The text of it is "If i better operating system is needed, please add, copy and paste your template source page", but it's rather unclear what operating systems and template code have to do with each other, so it's not clear what purpose pasting your template source page anywhere would serve, and the template fails to explain where your template source page is to be pasted.
If this kind of thing were necessary at all, it would need to be created by established Wikipedians who knew what they were doing. Bearcat (talk) 17:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a grab bag deletion of discussion regarding a network of related pages created by banned User:HansWobbe. This is discussion is focused on his "lightly edited template pages", which I feel have a good case for deletion given they probably fall under WP:UP#GOALS. Most of these seem to have been in an effort ot make a Wikipedia book (a now depricated feature). I'm doing this so I don't have to open an MfD for all of these articles, and will list them below:

Allan Nonymous (talk) 14:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close or Keep -I have not reviewed the pages, but it is probable that some of them should be deleted and some should be kept. The editor has been indefinitely blocked, not banned, and the guidelines say that we normally keep files of departed or blocked users, who might return.

Template:User hate CCP[edit]

I lean to supporting this, but not without limit. A userbox might mention hate without expressing or advocating hate.

There are several transcluders. The transcluders should be advised of this discussion. SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Broc, SmokeyJoe, specifically pinging people who are likely to !vote in a certain way is WP:VOTESTACKING. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:16, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not. The proposal is to alter these people’s userpages, altering their self-introductions, with an allegation that they are doing something wrong. There are therefore key stakeholders. Their contribution here is not to vote, but to explain, or defend. If the userbox is deleted, they may be accused of disruption if they put a similar back. This outcome is an obvious failing of natural justice. SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Dislike towards an organization (that has done "things") is different than hating millions of Chinese. I didn't think the word "hate" should immediately be construed as divisive. I didn't think "hating" the Nazi Party or ISIS is violating WP:UBCR.✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 11:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, now read the userbox as "This user hates the US Republican Party". Do you still consider it non-divisive? If the template said "oppose" I would have no problem with it, but hate is a different thing. Broc (talk) 12:32, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: My usage of the anti-CCP infobox isn't of any malice towards Chinese culture or society at all, but as a protest against the party's omnipresent dominance and human rights violations that led to a moral decline within the country's political state, if not with China altogether. This includes but is not limited to Mao Zedong's cult of personality (similar with Joseph Stalin's), several massacres (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution and Red August, the Tiananmen massacre and suppression of its discussion and the related), declining human and Internet rights, and other forms of crimes against humanity. That's what I hate about the party and its impact; I believe other users with the infobox aren't drastically different in motive. The party's slogan is "Serve the People", but it only serves itself, of a code not revealed to anyone with any sympathy. I wouldn't be anti-communist in the first place if all of this never happened. My use of this infobox is not light, and it speaks out for the preservation of common sense and human dignity. Carlinal (talk) 13:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wording Change: I am a Hong Konger, and this template sums up a large part about my childhood in the city, so I'm definitely against deleting the template entirely (please see Hong Kong-Mainland China conflict). I personally have no problem using the word "hate" towards a political organization that has no respect for human rights whatsoever, but I can understand why some would feel problematic about this. So, I would be fine if the template is re-worded to take out the word "hate" but keep much of the meaning, something along the lines of: "This user strongly condemns the CCP (for its gross violations of human rights)". TeddyRoosevelt1912 (talk) 14:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
