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.
Information on the process
What may be nominated for deletion here:
-
- Pages in these namespaces: Book:, Draft:, Help:, Portal:, MediaWiki:, Wikipedia: (including WikiProjects), User:, TimedText:, Module:, Topic:, Gadget:, Gadget definition:, and the various Talk: namespaces
- Userboxes (regardless of 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.

Draft:Bob W. Stanley
- Draft:Bob W. Stanley ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This draft seems unlikely ever to go anywhere. This is a memorial created either by a close relative or an editor who has named himself in honour of Stanley. But the gentleman fails WP:GNG and the draft fails WP:NOTMEMORIAL. It's unfair on the editor to give him false hope that it may be accepted at some stage in the future.

Since starting this draft the editor has copied it into mainspace twice, the second time after it was deleted following AfD. Since it has been deleted a second time from mainspace it should also be deleted here. StarryGrandma (talk) 22:04, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

User:Mmmovie/Mark Bellinghaus
- User:Mmmovie/Mark Bellinghaus ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Draft sitting around since 2007. User Mmmovie (talk · contribs) blocked since 2009. Actual Mark Bellinghaus article up for AfD.
- Delete - ranks highly in Google searches for this person's name, essentially a WP:CFORK and SEO page. It could be moved to Draft space, but since the author is blocked and it hasn't been worked on for so long.. another option is <nowiki></nowiki> tags so it renders as Wikimarkup and cleans up cats and backlinks, but again, the author is blocked so it would likely sit forever. -- GreenC 13:53, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

This page is blank and unneeded. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 21:19, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Unless the history of this deletion discussion was preserved elsewhere. Indeed I would favor reverting the blanking and properly marking this as closed, after confirming what the original close was. DES (talk) 01:36, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep the blanking of the discussion provides a privacy curtain I suppose, for those who commented on the debate. But I see no reason to delete. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 03:49, 8 November 2015 (UTC).

February 2010 WP:FAKEARTICLE of Bob Casey, Jr.. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:58, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Information Davidt8 is now editing under the name Dthomsen8 (see Commons:User:Davidt8). If he chimes in, his wishes should be respected. Otherwise, either Courtesy blank or delete but notify the editor that he can get a WP:REFUND at any time. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- See also: sub-pages of User_talk:Davidt8. If these go to MfD, my recommendation is the same as above: Since the editor is active, respect his wishes (the only "mandatory" thing would be to mark them as no-index but only if they were causing problems in search engines) or if he has no particular wish, courtesy-blank or delete them without prejudice for a refund. Disclaimer I have a boatload of old pages probably including a few stale drafts in my user-space. As an active editor, I would take (very mild) offense if the stale drafts were deleted outright. However, if they were summarily "noindexed" I would have no problem with that, and if they were "courtesy blanked" with notification and with the understanding that I had the "blanking editor"'s blessing to revert his edit, that would be fine as well. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:23, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
-
- I checked whether the editor was active and they weren't under this account. The notice goes on the editor's talk page. If the editor changed names, the normal implementation is a redirect to the current user talk page and movement of subpages. If the subpages weren't done, we can move them and move on. Even then, we don't normally allow for long-term storage of copies of current articles active user or not, in particular I'd be concerned about a long-term duplicate of a BLP article on a current US senator. Per WP:UP#COPIES, drafts are intended to be temporary and either the edits were moved into the article or they weren't after four years. The other pages we can deal with later. If you support blanking, fine, but I think deleting these are better as I've had to chase down and re-blanking and push to delete some users who do want to keep their preferred versions up for whatever reason. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:02, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

This userpage is very large (~512KB) and is full of old drafts which have not been worked on in quite some time. Technical 13 broke out many of the drafts during the first MfD, but TheShadowCrow restored them on two occasions, specifically here and here, though his last constructive edit to the drafts was on June 14, 2013, before his reversions of Technical 13's efforts, and his last overall edit was on May 10, 2014.

Counterproductive in current form and level of maintenance, either this should be

A paid editor was using this essay to justify a subpage disclosure. This seems harmful to all parties to have this (if I've understood correctly that the TOU does not consider that good enough).

The issue I have with this draft is the managerial claims cannot be supported. In this article, Abrahamyan states that he is an assistant coach for FC Ararat. While I cannot presently confirm that statement, I can almost certainly confirm that he was not the manager of any of the clubs listed here.

Esoteric programming language that derives it's notability from being esoteric. Page has been previously discussed (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HQ9+, DRV, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esoteric programming languages). Since it's indivual AFD, there has been very little activity on the page including movind the page from mainspace, to an individual userspace, to Draftspace. No independent sources to back up the claims of notability. Page has not been edited since Feburary 3rd of 2014 (when Rezonansowy moved it from their userspace to draftspace). Hasteur (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Why was the article actually deleted? The first AfD was unanimous keep, the group AfD had a majority for keeping this one as well. It looks like someone just sort of deleted them all and ignored the discussions completely, from what you've shown us here. It's not surprising that an article like this would attract little activity, it's a simple concept that can be completely described in a paragraph. Notability seems marginal, but it is well known within some circles, though it's not really been written about in anything serious. Gigs (talk) 01:09, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Gigs See also the Log history of the original mainspace article. I reaffirm that this doesn't make the GNG threshold (nor any applicable SNG), nor does the programming language really do anything except to be an esoteric language (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HQ9+ (2nd nomination)). Specifically that this content has existed on and off for nearly 10 years in the encyclopedia with minimal (at best) improvements while still being a substandard article indicates to me that it might be worth merging to Esoteric programming language if there were reasonable coverage, but with the lack of independent reliable sources and the previous Deletion discussions being diluted by NOTAVOTE, I'm disinclined to continue providing hosting for this. Hasteur (talk) 02:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Weak delete and salt - I find the number of foreign articles interesting,[1] but crucially, the English community has decided not to have an article on this, so we don't need a draft either. --NYKevin 20:53, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep and polish If we have this article in 11 other languages (HQ9+ (Q1335195)), the obvious is that we need it in English language as well. Besides No independent sources to back up the claims of notability is not an argument to delete a draft, see WP:Drafts#Deleting a draft – drafts are not subject to article deletion criteria like "no context" or no indication of notability. It's a work in progress and drafts are exactly for it. If you're not happy about the article's quality – you're welcome to contribute.

- Notability is an inclusion criterion. No amount of polishing will make a non-notable subject notable. The community has already decided that this is not a notable topic worthy of an article.

Page is an unsourced vanity biography that was created by a editor with questionable involvement. No demonstration of notability, nor is there a plausable claim for this to be promoted. Last edit was back in December of 2013 and has not made any reasonable progress to being accepted, therefore per WP:NOTWEBHOST we should remove this. Hasteur (talk) 16:19, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

This userpage was initially created with a considerable amount of content unrelated to Wikipedia and not realistically useful for collaboration. Various accounts and IPs then edited it, adding further irrelevant material and making changes that may be offensive. The page may violate (both in its original and current forms) WP:UPNOT by containing "content that may bring the project into disrepute," as well as WP:UP#GOALS. a CLoG? | unCLoG 00:21, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Advertising. And redundant to Vaporizer (inhalation device)#Marijuana vaporizers. P 1 9 9 ✉ 21:00, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - clearly created to promote the company whose links were spammed on the page (and in the images added to the page), by user whose only other contributions have been to add such spam to various articles. This sandbox page cannot plausibly be turned into a Wikipedia article, even if all the advertising is taken out; what would remain would be approximately two sentences which, as the nominator points out, don't add anything to the existing vaporizer article. --bonadea contributions talk 18:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

March 2006 old userspace draft. Another version was created at Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair but redirected to Wonder Boy 3: Monster Lair in September 2006 and this editor's version was deleted to make way for the current article at Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair. It's possible to move and history merge the deletions so they fit together but it seems like a waste of time. Ricky81682 (talk) 11:14, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

2005 WP:FAKEARTICLE that is already at San Jose Giants. Ricky81682 (talk) 02:46, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect, but give Gateman1997 a chance to chime in first. This looks like it was a draft-fork related to a self-revert in the main article at the time. I agree there is no reason to keep the page but a redirect to the mainspace article would be just as good as a deletion. As the editor is only semi-active on Wikipedia (last activity October 12, 2015) it would be more polite to either close this as a redirect or leave it open until 24 hours after his next edit. It would also be polite if the nominator would email him giving him a heads-up. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:59, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

- Davidwr The only changes made were Gateman1997 changing it to refer to Gateman's draft page for the stadium and adding the 2005 championship. Those changes don't require a redirect to the main article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:14, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

- Comment After not being editing since December 2008, the page was submitted for AFC for some reason, and then moved by an uninvolved editor to draftspace. I've reverted both of those things as I see zero reason why anyone would approve of a seven year old draft article for a topic that already has an article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:57, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Article there was already created, this has little or no substantive changes and this editor edited there in December 2011 (other than a small comment at the talk page) so a redirect or history merge doesn't seem necessary.

September 2013 userspace draft of a translation (I think Spanish) of an article about a Bernard Dov Gabbay. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- It is Portuguese.
- Keep. Includes important history.
- Move to User:Gabrielamota29/Dov Gabbay,
- then soft-redirect to pt:Dov Gabbay,
- keeping the history in anticipation of its use in correcting WP:Copyrights violations on foreign Wikipedias. It appears that User:Gabrielamota29, on 27 September 2013, edited Dov Gabbay, then translated it on his userpage, and then copied it to. pt:Dov Gabbay lacks the required attribution to the English Wikipedia authors, I would guess that that is a rampant problem in the non-English Wikipedia involving translations from this Wikipedia, one that may require sophisticated automation to fix.
- Note how the needless deletion (as opposed to blanking) of these poorly understood userspace pages may very well confound future attempts to correct ongoing copyright violations? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- Why don't we just blank this with a redirect to Dov Gabbay? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:34, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- S'pose. Worrying about attribution failures when English pages are translated to other languages seems overwhelming. Transwiki to pt:User:Gabrielamota29/Dov Gabbay? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- It is a WP:UP#COPIES issue on en.wikipedia.org, but is an actual version of the Portuguese article. So it is on the wrong website. Transwiki to pt:User:Gabrielamota29/Dov Gabbay, delete the local history. Create a soft redirect for the benefit of any offsite bookmarks. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:12, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
