Wikipedia:Miscellany for 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

• Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion no drafts
• Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion no portals

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.

Before nominating a page for deletion

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

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. If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done. 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.

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result of the discussion was delete. User's comments seem to be about his deleted article Advertising Science rather than about this user page. JohnCD (talk) 09:37, 26 September 2015 (UTC) User:Mheronime User:Mheronime (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Advertisement for his PR services; already been warned about undisclosed paid editing Orange Mike | Talk 14:53, 14 September 2015 (UTC) I'm not being paid to write this Wikipedia article. I have been in the advertising business for over 30 years. In that time, there has been a lot of discussion about the art and the science of advertising. I have spent part of my career as an adjunct professor at the University of North Texas' Mayborn School of Journalism teaching Principles in Advertising. I have lectured on the topic of advertising at several other universities including Oklahoma University, the University of Texas, Texas Christian University, and Southern Methodist University. I have a profound interest in the business and artistry of advertising and marketing. I am now an employee of Calise Partners, an advertising agency in Dallas, Texas. You can see my LinkedIn profile here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeheronime The main reason for my recent move from Agency Entourage to Calise Partners is their interest in taking a scientific approach to advertising. This scientific approach, while not an entirely new topic, is a worthy topic for discussion in our field. There has been a fair amount of debate about what makes advertising effective. I believe it's time for people in our business to realize that what we do falls into the category of science rather than art since we have more specific desired outcomes that we want to control. Art tends to be more open ended for personal interpretation. I am creating this article for Wikipedia for academic purposes. I was totally surprised to learn that there isn't already an article on this topic on Wikipedia. My intention is to invite others through LinkedIn to comment, edit and discuss this topic on Wikipedia and on LinkedIn. There is real value in helping our industry come to terms with the science of our practice. I would appreciate any help and guidance I can get from Wikipedia in having this topic added to the encyclopaedia. Thanks, Mheronime (talk) 15:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC) Delete.

I agree. But, that doesn't mean the article has no scope and is non-improvable. If the editor submitted the draft repeatedly, then the editor should've been warned, and that was not done here. After all, the author did make some changes after each time the article was declined. I don't think submitting multiple times is a reason to delete this draft. Regards—☮JAaron95 Talk 10:18, 14 September 2015 (UTC) I don't believe there is any room for improvement on this article, I believe there's a strong chance of there being a conflict of interest. There have also been no edits since the miscellany for deletion has been submitted. --I am Kethrus Talk to me! 21:45, 14 September 2015 (UTC) Delete I agree with Jaaron95 that "3x decline in 24 hours" is not really a valid reason for deletion (and the draft has only existed for two weeks anyway). However, I am finding zero non-PRIMARY sources about this company. Information is scarce enough that I wonder if it isn't just an elaborate hoax by the guy claiming to run it.

If this person is the user, it actually is a reasonable userpage. He could move it to User:MaheshDhami5. An additional statement of interests and intentions on Wikipedia would make it definitely a suitable user page from a contributing Wikipedian.

The subject is not notable, with very little coverage, all of which is local coverage surrounding a gig from what I've seen. Routine stuff, basically. A lot of this is also unsourced and is violation of WP:BLP, especially the parts about mental stability/suicidal thoughts. No attempts have been made to bring this up to quality needed for the mainspace and the original creator hasn't edited in several years. Oddly enough, it continues to be edited in the userspace. My best guess is that this is an attempt to host an article on Wikipedia without subjecting it to the standards of inclusion, which violates WP:NOTWEBHOST. ~ RobTalk 20:19, 9 September 2015 (UTC) Delete per nom.

The result of the discussion was delete both. JohnCD (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2015 (UTC) User:Carmelo Pizzino/sandbox User:Carmelo Pizzino/sandbox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) User:Tim Stillwell/sandbox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Wikipedia is not a web host for fantasy reality game shows. Neither User:Carmelo Pizzino/sandbox, nor User:Tim Stillwell/sandbox are plausible drafts. Both are claiming to be Strictly Come Dancing (series 13) for which we have an article, and both sandboxes have completely different casts which are also different from the real show's announced cast. If one checks the history of User:Tim Stillwell/sandbox, one can see that prior to Strictly Come Dancing, it was used for a fake version of The Apprentice (U.S. season 12) as one can see from the contestant list. Request for speedy deletion was denied as they were deemed to be plausible drafts. These are being nominated together because the Carmelo Pizzino/sandbox is actually being editted by User:Tim Stillwell. Whpq (talk) 12:55, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Delete with reference to Wikipedia:Alternative outlets. This is WP:NOTEWEBHOST violating. We used to see lots and lots of this, use of userpages to track reality TV or similar things not even on TV, for reasons not discovered. Agree with the U5 declines. The material does not require much stretch of WP:AGF to see it as a good faith attempt at contributing. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:49, 9 September 2015 (UTC) Redirect to Strictly Come Dancing (series 13), per the attribution requirements of WP:COPYWITHIN. Upon reviewing the revision histories, The article in main namespace was very likely copied from this sandbox page. North America1000 12:26, 12 September 2015 (UTC) What is the basis for this? As of 26 Oct 2014, the sandbox was a fake version of Strictly Come Dancing (series 12), and the content was a copy of one of the versions from that article's history. This was then replaced on 24 August 2015 with the fake version of Strictly Come Dancing (series 13) whose history shows it predates this fake show sandbox. If anything, there needs to be attribution from series to series as the previous season's article was used as template for the current season. -- Whpq (talk) 14:28, 12 September 2015 (UTC) You're correct.

I failed to note the in-progress mfd, for which I apologize. I suggest this discussion be closed, and editors consider whether to put the mainspace version through AfD.

Primefac (talk) 02:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC) SmokeyJoe, the draft was copied and pasted to mainspace. Someone tagged it for speedy deletion because it was moved out of AfC withoiut review. Of course, that is not a valid speedy deletion reason, but in dealing with that, i saw that it was a C&P, and checking found that others had edited the draft, so a hist merge was required. i did that, but in multiple steps because I missed (at first) that the mainspace was not at quite the same name. In the process I failed to note the mfd until the histmerge had been done, so then i posted here to explain the matter. The ASfd was opened after I finished the histmerge, either after or while I was first posting here. It may have been poor procedure on my part, but the Afd is i think now the place to discuss this one way or the other. DES (talk) 02:46, 14 September 2015 (UTC) Sorry, I was commenting on the 13 September version of this discussion, which I pre-loaded, and didn't notice your comments today when I posted mine.

Google search suggests this software is non-notable. A case of using Wikipedia as a free host. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Delete per nom, Wikipedia is not a host for random content. These particular drafts have been bothering me for months, it was evident they wouldn't become actual, viable articles. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 05:06, 8 September 2015 (UTC) It is unclear what he is doing. It doesn't look like an article in the making, but neither does the user look like someone who can't find easier scratch space elsewhere. Userpages are not restricted to article drafting, they can contain notes. Why does it contain the template header {{userspace draft}}? Maybe that got there by mistake, and it is a simple {{userpage}}? This Wikipedian is active and productive, and these odd pages are probably within reasonable leeway. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Over 50% of all of this user's edits are to his userpages, and only a quarter of all his edits are to mainspace articles (101 edits currently). I wouldn't call that productive or reasonable. And besides this he clearly has a conflict of interest with regard to "KratOS" but he denies it. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 06:40, 19 September 2015 (UTC) RHaworth & Jeraphine Gryphon, It is a sandbox draft. Yeah, it might not be an article that will be published but please... If you can delete my userpages then that's just not right... That's like removing my personal property... — Preceding unsigned comment added by CompanyDude (talk • contribs) No, it's not. Please see WP:NOTWEBHOST. You're not entitled to host any material here, that's not what Wikipedia is for. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 06:40, 19 September 2015 (UTC) Conditional Keep. Valid draft. Jeraphine's measures of productive or reasonable are unacceptable. There are no time limits, and there is no minimum of contribution. However, the NOTWEBHOST allegation for a page that can be read as promotion is valid, and therefore the page should be blanked when not being actively edited. "Keep", conditional on the author blanking the page when it is not being improved. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:47, 27 September 2015 (UTC) On the other hand, re-reading... "Yeah, it might not be an article that will be published but please". The user must, in good faith, intend for the material to become suitable for mainspace, or it is not OK. If CompanyDude can't outline a plan for this to be improved and moved to mainspace, then it probably should be deleted. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:50, 27 September 2015 (UTC) SmokeyJoe,Thanks,bro but i am improving and i do now intend for it to be released later and as you said there is no time limits The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Kharkiv07 (T) 01:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC) Template:User pageantfan Template:User pageantfan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Unused, illegible, has nothing to do with building the encyclopedia. —Keφr 08:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Delete in favour of Template:User WikiProject Beauty Pageants. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:36, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Comment - The two concepts are not the same, so the existence of Template:User WikiProject Beauty Pageants shouldn't preclude having this one as well. Perhaps its unused because no one knows about it, since its name doesn't include the word "beauty". I have notified Wikipedia:WikiProject Beauty Pageants.—Anne Delong (talk) 12:03, 7 September 2015 (UTC) This smacks of canvassing. Does anyone expect that members of a wikiproject covering beauty pageants are going to dislike them? —Keφr 12:32, 7 September 2015 (UTC) It is normal to notify interested parties during a deletion discussion. The members may like pageants, but not that userbox. If you can think of any other groups who might have an opinion, for or against, please notify them. I couldn't think of any at the time, but maybe some members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Feminism would have an opposite view. I will leave a message there.—Anne Delong (talk) 19:23, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Keep Template is now used, and font color has been changed, so any issues here have now been fixed. Ejgreen77 (talk) 12:50, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Having anything to do with building the encyclopedia has not been. —Keφr 16:26, 7 September 2015 (UTC) No, because it's WP:POINTY, and not a valid reason to nominate something for deletion in the first place. The fact that it was unused and the poor color choices, now, those were valid reasons to list for deletion, but, as has been pointed out, both of those issues have been addressed. Besides, shouldn't this be listed at TfD, anyways? After all, it is in template space. Ejgreen77 (talk) 16:34, 7 September 2015 (UTC) I open WP:POINTY and what do I see? "When you have a point to make, use direct discussion only" — which is what I am doing. Examples listed on that page suggest an interpretation of "do not play devil's advocate on Wikipedia", which I am also following. —Keφr 17:13, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Keφr had good reasons for starting the deletion discussion, particularly the point about no one using it. If the reasons are addressed and become no longer valid, that's a good thing. Kephir's nomination will have improved the encyclopedia whether the userbox is kept of deleted. About not being used to build an encyclopedia: A lot user boxes are like that; they don't improve the encyclopedia directly, but they do indirectly by (1) efficiently letting other users know what a user's interests and biases are, and (2) helping improve the morale of some users who enjoy making their user pages colourful yet informative.—Anne Delong (talk) 19:23, 7 September 2015 (UTC) And subvert the morale of others, who might otherwise have something to contribute. The semi-conscious thought process goes like: "My goodness, look at all these tacky boxes and signatures. This project seems full of tasteless, vain people more interested in asserting their own uniqueness and importance than improving this vast knowledge base. Instead of calmly and rationally discussing facts, people argue about their identities, and policies like the one saying that Wikipedia is not a social network accomplish nothing to discourage this. Not that anyone respects any policies anyway. Why would I want anything to do with this project?" —Keφr 20:52, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Harsh words. One might suggest that your anti-userbox crusade isn't particularly improving the encyclopedia either. I'm not a big fan of userboxes, but this whole batch of nominations seems like largely a waste of time. Gigs (talk) 01:48, 10 September 2015 (UTC) Delete Being a personal fan of a beauty pageants is cute but not particularly useful. If someone is a member of the WikiProject, that's a legitimate template. I'd presume that someone who is a fan is here because they would like to work on those pages, else it's just fluff. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:49, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Userfy to User:UBX or User:Nepol (the creator) It is used, the colors have been fixed, and userboxes like this one are allowed and common in user-space, so I see no reason to delete. See WP:USERBOX, and particularly WP:USERBOX#Which_namespace.3F which says "userboxes in User: space may not be as directly collaborative in nature as those in Template: or Wikipedia: namespaces, which are expected to adhere more tightly with policies and guidelines, such as neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is." Wugapodes (talk) 01:25, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Userfy, not related to the encyclopedia. Kaldari (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Userfy - Not sure why the deletes considering userboxes are the norm here anyway, Perhaps move it to "User:Nepol/UBX/Pageantfan" so anyone who wants to add it to there userpage can do so. –Davey2010Talk 21:28, 22 September 2015 (UTC) Userfy - Userboxes are usually in the User: namespace, although sometimes it can be in the Template:/Wikipedia: namespace. Those ones should be neutral, and "beauty pageant fan" isn't really neutral.--3 of ♦ I go first 20:45, 23 September 2015 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Harmless test edit by a single-edit account. Next time just blank it. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC) @SmokeyJoe: Actually WP:STALEDRAFT is a reason for deletion. See point #2 regarding old draft pages in the userspace of long inactive users, where it states "if entirely unsuitable, seek deletion". This page has virtually no content, will never become an article in its present state, and it's creator has not edited since January 2011. North America1000 11:55, 26 September 2015 (UTC) Disagree. Userspace is and always has been a suitable place for testing. It is absurd to argue that every remnant of testing in userspace needs to be deleted, particularly if the deletion needs to be via an MfD discussion. What is "entirely unsuitable" about this remnant of a test edit? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:57, 26 September 2015 (UTC) I see what you're saying, but Wikipedia is not a web host for the indefinite hosting of non-encyclopedic content. Also, per WP:G2, test pages qualify for deletion, but the criterion does not apply to pages in the user namespace. So, here we are, at MfD. North America1000 13:11, 26 September 2015 (UTC) If it contained non-encyclopedic content, I would agree. But there is no content arguably there for some outside purpose, and no page views (excepting the 32 since you listed it here), and so there is no basis for arguing that the intent of NOTWEBHOST applies. G2 doesn't apply to userspace for good reason, because userspace is for Wikipedians to experiment, not because the community decided that it wanted to explicitly discuss every userspace test. This is not a Wikipedian, and there is no content to "keep", but the page is too trivial to be worth asking the community to comment. Please just blank next time. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:40, 26 September 2015 (UTC) It wasn't me that viewed the page 32 times since its listing. The review of this nomination has wasted time for Wikipedian's who are not commenting. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:42, 26 September 2015 (UTC) In my opinion, the totality of the draft, "✭NANCY✭ new article content ..." is wholly non-encyclopedic. North America1000 13:49, 26 September 2015 (UTC) But that totality is zero. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:28, 27 September 2015 (UTC) Delete as test edit.

I went back to have a look, was it just a poor rationale when there was something actually problematic about the page? No. This page is no different to uncounted contentless pages in userspace. Delete now that we are here, but this is yet another net negative MfD nomination. See busywork. Processing this nomination cost more than doing nothing. And what is the actual problem? My best guess is that it bothers someone due to it populating Category:Articles created via the Article Wizard or Category:Userspace drafts created via the Article Wizard from January 2011? For that, the simplest, cheapest, solution is to remove the categories or blank the page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:57, 26 September 2015 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

I have material in my own space which I may get around to improving one day. It only takes a few minutes of people's time to have three or four people express their opinion that a page should be deleted, and to notify the user with an automated tool.—Anne Delong (talk) 16:45, 7 September 2015 (UTC) A few minutes time multiplied by three or four people is massive overspend on these things. The nominator/blanker should assess the user's activity and problems with the page. If your userpages were blanked, you can easily respond, and unblank in seconds from your watchlist. Also, why would someone do that? Do you have have essays unrelated to the project, or gross OR work in your userspace? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Delete now that we are here, but blanking is preferable because it involves far less overhead, and is less confrontational and unwelcoming to the user should the user ever return. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:04, 16 September 2015 (UTC) Delete - It seems that this was a school project which is now over.

The 'man of the millenium' award mentioned in almost every reference seems to be in fact a vanity award that you pay for, and it doesn't award any money, rather you pay. That is merely one example of the grandiose and verifiably untrue claims that were made in social media shares and unquestioningly reprinted in various newspapers. The many other details referenced in various social media viral shares, such as that he met the US president are verifiably untrue.

Which organization was it that awarded the "man of the millenium" - this is one the subject proudly boasts of, so if it cannot be substantiated together with the several million dollar prize he claims to have got with this title, then it undermines the truthfulness of all the claims he makes. Exceptional claims need exceptional evidence, but all the newspapers you cite have done nothing to investigate these social media claims.

Note however, that your choice of diet has little to do with building the encyclopedia. —Keφr 08:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC) Keep. Quite unoffensive. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:39, 7 September 2015 (UTC) For the sake of whom? Nobody is using it. —Keφr 08:05, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Userpages don't need to be used. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC) This is a template. It is meant to be transcluded. That it resides in user space is a technicality. —Keφr 08:25, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Deleting all currently unused templates is a bad idea. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:33, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Sure, deleting literally every single template just because it has no transclusions is probably a bad idea indeed. But there should be a specific reason for keeping each individual template even if it is not used at the moment. No such reason exists here. —Keφr 11:07, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Except we need a reason to delete here, not a reason to keep. What is accomplished by "cleaning up" unused templates in other people's userspace? They aren't really hurting anything. Gigs (talk) 01:41, 10 September 2015 (UTC) WP:HARMLESS is not a reason to keep something either. Wikipedia is not a webhost and each page it keeps should be relevant to building the encyclopedia; pages that are not are deleted. This is why WP:CSD#U5 is a criterion, for example. —Keφr 08:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC) There's the reason that random interference in other's userspace is non-collegial. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:37, 10 September 2015 (UTC) Interference in other users' userspace should be expected. As per WP:UP#OWN: "[P]ages in user space belong to the wider community. They are not a personal homepage, and do not belong to the user. They are part of Wikipedia, and exist to make collaboration among editors easier". —Keφr 08:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

The topic is an online video series, but there are very few hits and no reviews online for this topic after five years, so it's unlikely to become notable any time soon. Can't redirect to the video game it's based on because that doesn't have an article either. Can't use db-g13, though; that's only for drafts that have been submitted for review.

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result of the discussion was keep and move to Draft:History of Women Running. JohnCD (talk) 13:13, 16 September 2015 (UTC) User:Walkjogrun/History of Women Running User:Walkjogrun/History of Women Running (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Stale userspace draft. Timeline that isn't particularly useful way to organize this in my view but maybe someone thinks it could be a draft. Ricky81682 (talk) 21:31, 31 August 2015 (UTC) Keep. Do not even blank. This, or History of women long-distance running, or even History of long-distance running, is a missing article at Outline_of_running#History_of_running. Very well populated categories such as Category:Female long-distance runners are missing a parent article. There is some coverage at Marathon#History, particularly Marathon#Inclusion_of_women. To avoid content forking or gross overlap, I suggest that long-distance running (800m +) should be covered alongside marathon running. This draft contains little that is not marathon running, so in the first instance it should maybe be merged into Marathon#Inclusion_of_women. Ricky is right, in that this is a very rough draft, maybe not the most useful way to organise, but it is a draft, it is a start, and is suitable content. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:50, 9 September 2015 (UTC) Then move to Draft:History of women long-distance running? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:15, 9 September 2015 (UTC) I have proposed a merge at Talk:Marathon#History_of_women.27s_long-distance_running. If no one objects, I will attempt it myself. I don't think the topic is worth a stand-alone article. --SmokeyJoe (talk) Delete. I saw SmokeyJoe's inquiry in Talk:Marathon and followed the trail back here. I think anything in this draft related to the marathon is already in Marathon#Inclusion of women and the other two items refer to the chronology of the women's 800 metres (which could be used to update that article if citations are provided) and the introduction of the first sports bra. I do believe that Wikipedia should have an article that discusses the history and evolution of running as a sport for women, but I would build it within Sport of athletics and fork it if and when it becomes to big. - Location (talk) 20:34, 9 September 2015 (UTC) Keep. I don;tthink it's been shown that it's useless. DGG ( talk ) 19:38, 13 September 2015 (UTC) Keep - This has the potential to become an article with major rewriting and cleanup.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Zoë Buckman

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result of the discussion was history merge with Zoë Buckman as Jenks24 has offered and no-one has disagreed. JohnCD (talk) 14:04, 16 September 2015 (UTC) Draft:Zoë Buckman Draft:Zoë Buckman (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Draft for an existing article at Zoë Buckman. It appears to have been copied and pasted from an in progress AFC page for the subject so no history merge is needed. Whpq (talk) 15:25, 30 August 2015 (UTC) The page history is long and begins with a stub. It does not appear to have been copied and pasted from another page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:47, 31 August 2015 (UTC) The draft was blanked on Jul 18 and in the next edit a copy of the mainspace article weas pasted in. -- Whpq (talk) 12:10, 31 August 2015 (UTC) I see strong similarities between earlier versions of the draft and the later 23:16, 16 July 2015‎ version of Zoë Buckman and infer unattributed use of the work of Acashman1 (talk · contribs). Acashman is not in the contribution history of Zoë Buckman. While it is possible that the similarities are due to use of the same source material, it is best to err on the side of caution to maintain copyright compliance. I recommend a history merge of Draft:Zoë Buckman, versions to 26 May 2015, deleting later versions, with Zoë Buckman, created 20:41, 9 July 2015‎. I note that at 13:21, 18 July 2015‎ Jenks24 (talk · contribs) is recorded in the history as having performed a history merge. Possibly Jenks can add to or correct this story? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:29, 9 September 2015 (UTC) @SmokeyJoe: I did perform a histmerge from a clear cut-and-paste move between User:Allicamp/Zoë Buckman and Zoë Buckman. I also declined to perform a histmerge between Draft:Zoë Buckman and Zoë Buckman, even though it would be (and still is) technically feasible, because there wasn't a cut-and-paste move between the two. There are similarities between the two, but for whatever reason at the time I didn't think it was clear that Allicamp's draft definitely used the earlier work of Acashman1. Looking over it again though, I think I made the wrong decision initially. As you note, there are strong similarities between the two and having dug a little deeper there are even some sentences that were clearly lifted word for word. So, on second thought, I think a histmerge between the two is required. I'll be happy to perform it, but will leave this here for a little bit before pulling the trigger just to make sure everyone else is OK with it. Thanks for pinging me.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Kashmir

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result of the discussion was Keep Portal:Kashmir. Delete Wikipedia:WikiProject Kashmir. While the majority seems to feel that the Portal has potential, the WikiProject has never been functional.

All the interlinked articles have been edited only by User:Changetrl, expect few minor edits by other editors to correct wrong transclusions of templates/categories. While the portal can be salvaged by mending it well, the WikiProject surely doesn't really seem useful as there has been no collaboration by other editors on it, which happens to be the purpose of having a WikiProject in first place. These are all created in December 2014 and 7-8 months is a good period for editors to give chance to revive the project. Seems that such thing has not happened. In fact I don't even think this Project was even created by consulting multiple editors. Seems to be just one man army working here and Project is not needed for one single editor. Same case with Portal, unless people here think that it is worth salvaging and putting into some use. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:29, 25 August 2015 (UTC) Keep and archive. Deletion of the worst portals may cause some people to think there is value in the remaining portals. All of Portal space should be archived. Portals were great when Wikipedia was growing exponentially, maybe. Subsequently, they became moribund. Not as bad as https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page but still moribund. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:17, 26 August 2015 (UTC) That's a good point. But sometime we will have to visit this topic of which portals should stay and which shouldn't if single editors ever started created portals just for fun. That mess would need cleaning someday. Btw, what about the 2-3 pages of WikiProject? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:39, 26 August 2015 (UTC) Keep: "There is not much collaborative work on Portal" is not the reason for deletion. We can't rule out that it will not happen in future. Currently many portals are largely inactive, we can't delete all portals. As of now there are only 3 comments on Portal talk:India in entire 2015 year. Kashmir is major part of India and it deserves portal. Portals or Wikiproject pages of nearly all states of India are inactive, there is no reason why we specifically should delete portal of one region. --Human3015Send WikiLove  08:21, 27 August 2015 (UTC) The political or social status of J&K within India has nothing to do in this Wiki world. And you should stop opining on all deletions I request. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:50, 2 September 2015 (UTC) Delete No one uses portals anyway, and this one is clearly a one-man job with no supporting behind it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:39, 7 September 2015 (UTC) I have to disagree with the notion "no one uses portals anyway", because it is subjective and also incorrect. Check out the page views at stats.grok.se for Portal:Technology. The portal was viewed 46,328 times in August 2015. Quite the opposite of the opinion above regarding portals in general. North America1000 03:27, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Keep – A valid portal that can be quite easily expanded. The portal presently provides an overview of the topic, and again, is expandable. I have performed some work to improve and update the portal. North America1000 03:23, 8 September 2015 (UTC) @Northamerica1000:, @Human3015:, So you're all just expecting the portal to magically gain users and content overnight? I see this all the time with dormant portals: everyone argues "Just keep it for now, it'll be expanded and get more traffic later", and five years later, it's still gathering cobwebs. Show me one example where "keep, it just needs work" has actually fixed a portal. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:30, 9 September 2015 (UTC) @TenPoundHammer: Your points are right. But this portal has not been linked in Kashmir related articles yet. Creator forgot to link it in related articles in see also sections like {{Portal|Kashmir}}. I think if we link this portal in related articles then we can hope for some change in situation. I am active on Kashmir related topics, half of my top edited pages are Kashmir related. Once this deletion discussion closed as "keep" then I can take responsibility to tag this portal in as many articles also I will improve this portal. --Human3015TALK  22:39, 9 September 2015 (UTC) The portal should be kept as it gives a valid and decent overview of the Kashmir topic, while the dead and probably never operational WikiProject should be deleted as it has no encyclopedic value whatsoever.
