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.

Duplicate of Draft: The Kagency. Author persists in resubmitting it after being declined. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:10, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - the author has blanked the other version at Draft:The Kagency, so that's no longer a factor, but I have been unable to find any news reports, magazinearticles or books about this company. If the company becomes more prominent in the future, the author can always request undeletion.—Anne Delong (talk) 00:08, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - I have tagged the blank draft for speedy deletion as apparently abandoned. If the blank draft is deleted, then this article can be moved into draft space. The absence of news reports, magazine articles, etc., is a reason to delete an article, but draft articles can be left to be developed in the future.

It's been almost a year and I think it's time to reevaluate this page's usefulness once again. As noted before, both pages here are project pages that actually does nothing for the project nor for Wikipedia at all. Regardless of the claims that this material is useful for keeping track of the world's oldest people, none of the sources here have been used as a reference in a single article. See List of oldest living people for example which basically just cites the GRG and nothing else. Besides, we shouldn't be using individual tables of who we think is the oldest living person in the world rather than reporting what reliable sources say are the oldest living people (WP:TRUTH and WP:OR). Further, many of the names here aren't included in any lists anywhere making these nothing more than WP:FAKEARTICLE-type preferred versions of disputed content (namely, whether or not these claims are real or can be dumped into all the all-encompassing longevity claims tables is a distinction I can't figure out). If, for example, reliable sources state that "Rujjam" is in fact alive and 112 and 290 days old, he should be included on the table. If not, he shouldn't be included anywhere. There shouldn't be a (a) a table or tables; (b) a longevity claims article; (c) this table; and (d) finally no inclusion at all. There's no basis for determining all those here. The massive editing here has zero relationship to the actual encyclopedia. Finally, even though the main longevity tables require a minimum of age 110 to avoid being complete ridiculous, these tables attempt to keep track of speculation about people who are aged 108 and above, meaning that the people at the bottom of these lists are going to be listed here for three years before there is even a possibility of their inclusion (which again, seeing as how few articles actually use a single source from here, makes that remote). The only purpose of this page I speculate is some off-wiki usage for a particular group of individuals so that they can use these pages as a WP:WEBHOST for all their information. If they are worried about losing a ton of information they can take it all to Gerontology wikia which is the proper place for this level of detail about this subject. Ricky81682 (talk) 11:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Useful to the project. We can't make articles if we have to search for information about them after the fact.
- Keep as has been said in earlier discussions, this is not a fake article. This is a page to keep track of information to better keep the main list up to date. — AMK152 (t • c) 22:34, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

- User:UnitardZZ/Unified USW Tag Team Championships ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Part of a large walled garden of draftspace and userspace content all created by User:UnitardZZ which is an admitted role for the Ultimate Showcase Wrestling organization. None contain sources nor seem like attempts to create actual articles. The fact that Draft:List of USW Pay-Per-View Events was intentionally created with internal links shows that the intent is entirely to WP:WEBHOST these here inappropriately. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. No justification for deletion provided. All these drafts aren't even stale so they deserve a chance to be worked on. The top google searches point to these drafts so it's a violation of the WP:5Pillars to delete them. 166.176.58.179 (talk) 09:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Is this really necessary? Supdiop (T🔹C) 09:09, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- lol. Keep. Begoon talk 17:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I think there is value in keeping archives. It was discussed and agreed upon by several editors here and here. I am curious why Supdiop did not enter the discussion then and there. Supdiop, it is quite obvious that you wish to see this (and as would follow) all future archives for this project page deleted because your entry is here. Might I suggest not seeking to bury content that you are unhappy with? It is generally only slightly buried anyway. Instead, please consider just being a bit more cautious and measured with your own posts. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:36, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

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.

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)

They have previously introduced deliberate factual errors in the Lamar Odom article, and have created pointless templates which I've no nominated for deletion. With my removal of the infobox, the user page is within guideslines, but given past editting behaviour, who knows if the user page will stay within guidelines. -- Whpq (talk) 15:12, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

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).

- Delete or redirect to WP:DISCLOSE. We should keep it only if someone is willing to update it regularly, and if it adds something to WP:DISCLOSE. As it stands, it's no longer accurate. If it's being used by paid editors to justify minimal disclosure, it will waste the time of editors who have to explain what current policy is. SarahSV (talk) 19:57, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete as obsolete and misleading, and to discourage recreation with misguided advice—misguided because it would either be correct because it duplicates what is in policy (and so be redundant), or would be wrong or confusing.

- Comment. 1) This was a useful page before the disclosure policy, as there were no examples of good disclosure. 2) I frankly haven't had and do not have time to maintain it so I have no problem with it being redirected/deleted. 3) WP:DISCLOSE is necessary but not sufficient: somewhere you need to show people actual examples of proper disclosure.

- I find it entirely plausible that Alesha and Alyosha are different transliterations of the Armenian "Ալյոշա," and minor differences in reported dates of birth are not unheard of. 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. Anything verifiable in this draft should be merged with Alyosha Abrahamyan. — Jkudlick tcs 13:20, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

We don't do redirects from draftspace for all articles and when drafts are created with current content in existence ,we don't create a redirect because that's just one more thing to watch in case someone comes back and wants to again draft something. Someone else can always come here days months or years from now, create another draft and work on that draft down the line (either a split or a selective merger or a redesign). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:32, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Draft:HQ9+
- Draft:HQ9+ ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
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.

- Going through these:
- Wikis are not reliable sources. Ignore the first two.
- The article 99 Bottles of Beer is not about the linked website. It is not clear to me that this website is a reliable source with editorial control.
- The book may be useful, but it would be nice if we could know the title of the book. It also appears to be a lengthy listing of the same program in many different languages. Since HQ9+ trivially implements that program, it looks like a passing mention to me.
- Slides from an academic presentation are better than random websites, but still lack editorial control.
- The last two once again lack editorial control.
- So overall, this is pretty thin evidence of notability. I'm going to say this does not (yet) meet the general notability guideline. --NYKevin 02:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

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)
