RfC: DRAFTPROD

Should this page be made part of the Deletion policy? The discussion that led to this page's creation, and the rationale behind it can be seen here. The aim of such a page would be to clear up the large number of WP:STALEDRAFT nominations at WP:MFD which almost never generate any discussion. Bosstopher (talk) 12:14, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support

  • Support. CSD doesn't apply to stale drafts eligible for the proposed DRAFTPROD, and this can help clean up MFD backlogs as the proposer has stated. There's nothing bad about this proposal except for editors who are too attached to existing bureaucratic process. // coldacid (talk|contrib) 21:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Oppose since this circumnavigates the deletions via speedy deletion criterion 13. We don't need two different processes to accomplish the same goal. Also, the usual 7-day window is significantly less than the 6-month window for G13 deletions. In addition, if the draft truly should be removed/deleted, then it, in theory, should be eligible for at least one speedy deletion criterion in the "G" section.

Discussion

  • Might be worthwhile to reduce the time since last real edit criterion from one year to six months? Barring stale drafts that have been vandalized, G13 may be applicable to some drafts before DRAFTPROD would be. // coldacid (talk|contrib) 22:02, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
