Proposed deletion |
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
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:, MOS: (in the unlikely event it ever contains a page that is not a redirect or one of the 5 disambiguation pages) and the various Talk: namespaces
- Userboxes, regardless of the namespace
- 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.

The result of the discussion was: keep. ✗plicit 23:36, 29 May 2024 (UTC) This LTA page seems to be not necessary for this particular sockmaster. By all accounts, this LTA report seems to go against the WP:LTA instructions. "Names should only be added for the most egregious and well attested cases". This sockmaster seems to be a relatively small nuisance, there are many sockmasters that have a lot more socks and have caused a lot more disruption that do not have LTA pages. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 13:13, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Unused talk subpages. Contains copy pasted template code, but was never filled in with unique content. It's a numbered bulleted list but the bulleted list is blank. Intended for transcluding, but never filled in. Page creator has retired. I thought about G6ing these, should be completely uncontroversial.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Amina Hassan Sheikh |
---|
The result of the discussion was: redirect to Amina Hassan Sheikh. At raw count, I'm looking at five votes (counting Robert McClenon) to redirect and two votes to histmerge the first five revisions. The two votes to histmerge hinge on giving proper creation credit of the article to the creation of the draft; but histmerges, per WP:HISTMERGE, are for fixing copyright attribution issues, and the draft text is unrelated to the text currently in the article. Supporters of redirecting convincingly argue that the technical and relevance problems with a histmerge make redirection the best option. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC) The BLP is already in the main NS at Amina Hassan. This draft lacks citations and contains WP:OR. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 21:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: keep. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
The advice is based on false premises: "Stress marks don't belong in any Belarusian, Russian, or Ukrainian word". Yes stress marks belong to Russian orthography and covered in Russian orthography books. It instructed to use them in dictionaties and in texts intended to teach Russian. They may be used selectively when stress is ambiguous (до́роги/доро́ги), for little known words, such as personal name (Конакри́, Фе́рми) etc. Therefore I say the page must be nuked as ignorant. - Altenmann >talk 00:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
P.S. I was reverted with the edit summary of WP:OWN : "and realize that this essay was *never* meant to advocate and promote *any* usage of stress marks at all" - which reaffirms my strong opinion for deletion of an essay which is not an explanation of any wikipedia guideline, just an opinion of a single strong-hanged person. - Altenmann >talk 18:34, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
