Draft:Cyclic cover

Abandoned page with no text. Legacypac (talk) 20:32, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: notable topic. -- Taku (talk) 20:40, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep what? There is no content. A Google search would reveal more sources. Legacypac (talk) 20:41, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So you admit it's notable? Are you proposing we close this? -- Taku (talk) 20:50, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no content - a blank page does not support notability. Listing of sources for the blankness of the page does not help either. Legacypac (talk) 20:54, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a page is not blank. Besides if it is blank, there is nothing to delete then. Again the only conclusion I can draw is that we close this MfD thread :) -- Taku (talk) 21:36, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is a page to delete, it just has no content about the stated topic Legacypac (talk) 21:39, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ (Mark viking's contribution below) Page consisting exclusively of "references" that point at a potential topic. Page without any content on it that explains the topic and why it is an appropriate usage of Wikimedia's resources. Seems like it should be eligible for CSD either under G1, G2, or G3 (take your pick) though a Administrator has judged that this is not eligible for G2 for some strange reason.

And for the record, I will consent Userfication if and only if the Author agrees to keep it in their userspace until either promoted to Article space, or submitted for impartial review via Articles for Creation. Hasteur (talk) 00:52, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Google thinks this topic is covered at Covering space, a page which needs help. Suggest the refs to nothing be moved there and effort focused there. Legacypac (talk) 00:59, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Google doesn't know these are similar but not exactly the same. No need for the redirect; editors can work on it without its being redirect; in fact, a redirect makes it more difficult. -- Taku (talk) 09:19, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Abandoned draft for which there is no discernible topic. Sławomir Biały (talk) 13:45, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - abandoned draft, nothing worth keeping. Gandalf61 (talk) 14:15, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added content and references to the draft. I think it is now in reasonable shape to become a stub. Another possibility is to merge the draft as a section of Covering space. But in either case, this seems a real topic and should not be deleted --Mark viking (talk) 18:52, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- And with that you've increased the viability of this page infinitely. Even to the point of being potentially strong enough to live in mainspace. At this point I think Keep and move to mainspace would be the best usage of this content. Hasteur (talk) 19:02, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Move to main space – the version by Mark viking is a respectable stub. XOR'easter (talk) 23:44, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw and Support move to Mainspace. Thank-you Legacypac (talk) 23:52, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing that TakuyaMurata will advocate for keep (and probably also demand it stay in draftspace), we'll understand that vote. @Sławomir Biały and Gandalf61: could you take a look at the page after Mark viking made their change. If both of you feel that it's keepable and promotable, we can go ahead and close this MFD early and promote the page into mainspace. Hasteur (talk) 03:08, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
