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: 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.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Santiago of the Seas (2) |
---|
The result of the discussion was: redirect to Santiago of the Seas. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:02, 8 November 2020 (UTC) Duplicate of a draft already located at Draft:Santiago of the Seas- the (2) draft is mostly a copy of the main draft, especially with the episode table. The Draft:Santiago of the Seas draft has been around since July, while the (2) is only in existence because an editor tried to go around the draft and instead headed to mainspace, with the article later moved to draftspace. There's no real need for both of these drafts, only the one actually being worked on should do. Magitroopa (talk) 04:38, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete. G5, G11 by Jimfbleak 2020-10-20T11:26:22. TheSandDoctor Talk 04:28, 31 October 2020 (UTC) Draft created by recently blocked sockpuppeteer User:Chobber Sidhu0, recreated by IP socks and repeatedly resubmitted without improvement, usually unchanged. Flogging this dead horse is a waste of editors' time; there's zero chance of this ever making it into an article. Captain Calm (talk) 07:08, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. No consensus to delete, not suffering from tendentious resubmitting necessitating delete, G13 will get it, etc etc. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:02, 8 November 2020 (UTC) User:Cphoffman, the creator and a major contributor to the page, is listed as the subject organization's legal director. There may still be enough neutral content that the page may be accepted after a significant copyedit. Curbon7 (talk) 06:14, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. ‑Scottywong| [confer] || 16:55, 1 November 2020 (UTC) Seems to be used as an alternate history project rather than any legitimate encyclopedic purpose. I've nominated it here rather than tag it as U5 so the creator has a chance to export it elsewhere if they wish. It certainly looks to have taken a lot of work, but isn't appropriate for hosting on Wikipedia. – Teratix ₵ 13:03, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. No consensus to delete. In the absence of any pressing reason for deleting stuff like this (ie it's not filled with abuse or slurs or something), we normally just let it sit, and there's no strong argument that this should be any different. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:11, 31 October 2020 (UTC) Twinkle options subpage over 1 month old for indefinitely blocked and globally locked user account, also see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Sysages/Issues and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Sysages/sandbox. This subpage was also only edited by the creator. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 15:57, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Real Madrid task force |
---|
The result of the discussion was: delete. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
So, last week this random page (Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Real Madrid task force/layout/assessment) of the task force was discovered when it was vandalized and led to its deletion since it was never set up. See the deletion vote page here. Several users analyzed the task force and realized it is inactive, nor was it ever really active. It has a few pages linked to it, but it doesn't appear to have done anything ever. Several users in the deletion vote for the page deletion were in favour of just scrapping the entire task force since it wasn't active. See the above link to deletion discussion for more info .

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Rajesh Kumar (youtuber) |
---|
The result of the discussion was: delete. ‑Scottywong| [yak] || 05:29, 31 October 2020 (UTC) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rajesh Kumar (youtuber) closed as "delete" a few months back, and this draft shows the exact same lack of notability. That wouldn't matter in a draft, if it hadn't been for the fact that this person's marketing people have been spamming Wikipedia before, with different accounts. See deletion logs for Draft:FactTechz and Draft:Facttechz, for instance, not to mention Draft:FACTTECHZ (RAJESH KUMAR), which was created a couple of days ago. The creator of this draft is also the main contributor to Draft:Ashish Chanchlani, which is also at MfD for similar reasons. bonadea contributions talk 17:33, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: keep. No consensus to delete this. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
This template is a bit of a standing joke, and possibly a dangerous one for those who won't be familiar with the background. I can't remember the last time somebody had this userbox on their page and passed RfA; indeed, several people have said that suitable admin candidates will NOT have this template on their user page. I think we should just get rid of this to stop leading misguided newbies into assuming that they can somehow use this box and actually get the tools. I originally set up a TfD for this three years ago, inspired by this comment, but it was speedily closed as "wrong venue" and forgot about it, so maybe now is a good time to re-open the discussion.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Ashish Chanchlani |

The result of the discussion was: delete. ‑Scottywong| [chat] || 05:29, 31 October 2020 (UTC) A number of sockpuppets representing at least one UPE outfit have been promoting this individual on Wikipedia for a long time. There have been two recent AfDs determining the person's lack of Wikipedia notability (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashish Chanchlani and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashish A. Chanchlani) and the user who has created this draft is showing very clearly that nothing has changed since the discussion in August, and that the reason for creating the article is promotional. This is spam, and has no place in Wikipedia, not even in draftspace (especially since AfC reviewers are being badgered over it). bonadea contributions talk 14:15, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
