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.
A filtered version of the page that excludes nominations of pages in the draft namespace is available at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion no drafts.
Information on the process
What may be nominated for deletion here:
- Pages not covered by other XFD venues, including pages in these namespaces: Book:, Draft:, Help:, Portal:, MediaWiki:, Wikipedia: (including WikiProjects), User:, TimedText:, Education Program:, Gadget:, Gadget definition:, and the various Talk: namespaces
- Userboxes (regardless of namespace)
- Files 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.

This nomination is not a joke, by the way.
Per Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:April Fools' Day 2021/Requests for adminship/COVID-19, COVID jokes are in poor taste. If that one wouldn't fly, then this one shouldn't either. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:01, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Keep - With only 6 hours to go this is going to be closed and archived anyways long before this MfD closes. I would only nominate things that would qualify for a speedy deletion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:54, 1 April 2021 (UTC)- Quick Keep or Speedy Delete We only have a little over 5 hours left in April Fools Day, and I'd rather not keep this thing open for a week. Either speedy delete the nomination at issue or allow it to be safely archived; either is preferable to dragging out April Fools Day stuff for a week. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 18:56, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think this qualifies for WP:G6 as its not a non controversial technical request. There would need to be some kind of consensus put into place on a blanket ban. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:02, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment @Knowledgekid87: - Last year, all COVID-19 related joke noms were deleted per WP:G6 so new versions should be deleted as well. Some examples are listed on an old version of the April 1, 2020 log under the section "Coronavirus attempts". Here are some examples included: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coronavirus disease 2019.

- User:Austhistory99/Indigenous Australian Inter-tribal Wars and Violence ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)
page is a draft by now blocked user. Based on original research and novel interpretations that are completely out of step with mainstream scholarship on the subject, this draft was clearly created as an attack on Aboriginal Australians - It's essentially racist in its tone, aims to present Aboriginal Australians in worst possible light, to make them look like savages by massively exaggerating the severity and extent of what we know about inter-tribal violence. The creator of this draft is now indef-blocked for blatant COI and advocacy issues which amounted to a racist attack on an Aboriginal author. This kind of racist attack page doesn't belong anywhere on wikipedia Bacondrum 20:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

And, yes, I understand the "Don't be a spoilsport, let people who drink Coke express themselves" feeling, but that's really not the issue here. If we allow this, then what is to stop another, less-known beverage company from looking at this and seeing in our allowing it the potential for a perfect little viral campaign to promote their product? If we allow Coke drinkers to do it, why can't Slurm drinkers do it as well? Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:35, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

The entire point of draftspace is to give people a place to work on articles out of the public eye, so writing a draft about a future game in the franchise is OK. The article is a bit WP:CRYSTALLY at the moment, but that could be fixed with editing as more sources turn up, and this does appear to be a genuine attempt at writing an article. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:56, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

There is also a sockpuppet investigation of these draft BLPs. These may be multiple paid editors working for one client, which is meatpuppetry (and which is poorly defined), or these may be sockpuppetry. However, sockpuppetry is not relevant to the question of misuse of draft space, in order to create an article about a non-notable person by stealth. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:20, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. User:Klillrud/sandbox may be Karl Lillrud's autobiography, but a userspace autobiography is acceptable. It is sourced. Forms of WP:Sockpuppetry are not a deletion reason unless voiced by someone qualified at WP:SPI, what you are doing is background unqualified clerking of SPI. Your nomination is a lot of WP:ABF without citing evidence. If the other pages have better cases for deletion, please list them separately with the better reasons explained. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:22, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete all. No indication that any of these is an autobiography, and Lillrud has been hiring people since (at least) 2019 to create an article about him; this post from today talks about a "deadline" to get an article about Lillrud published. Even if one of these accounts should be Lillrud himself, WP:UPNO would apply since all the seven accounts are SPAs, only concerned with creating drafts about Lillrud. This is an individual who is not notable so none of these drafts could ever become an article, and given that Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Karl Lillrud ended with several drafts being speedy deleted, there is no reason to let these languish in userspace. --bonadea contributions talk 17:57, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

- It wouldn't be accepted if submitted as a draft, and would have been deleted years ago. Whether subpages are deleted depends on the user; in this case they were disruptive, using sockpuppets, and probably evading a block. If an account is blocked it doesn't make the subpages exempt from deletion. Peter James (talk) 22:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Sure, but you need a nomination rationale better than "blocker user". I don't see a reason not to leave this here for someone to pick up. A quick search on "Walmartsucks" shows interesting stuff, google suppression of criticism of major brands, trademark issues, etc, involving multiple big brands. Unlikely to be notable on its own, but it might fit in a larger topic. G13 was implemented due to the tens of thousands of unreviewable drafts including BLP and copyright violations. I have reviewed this userpage and decided there is no such issue here. It is not an AfC page, and we do not routinely delete usersubpages for being old and unedited. The user may return, and anther user may find it by the title and make use of it. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:11, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- It wouldn't be accepted if submitted as a draft, and would have been deleted years ago. Whether subpages are deleted depends on the user; in this case they were disruptive, using sockpuppets, and probably evading a block. If an account is blocked it doesn't make the subpages exempt from deletion. Peter James (talk) 22:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - I respectfully disagree with SmokeyJoe. We don't need dung that has been sitting around for seven years from blocked users that never had a purpose. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- You are not being respectful to a reasonable standard. This draft is not comparable to dung, presumably you mean "animal feces". It is a serious topic, serious legal issue, censorship issues. It is serious references. Many things that might be useful and will be lost if this is deleted. "Never had a purpose"? Disagree, this draft fits will the purpose of userspace, to build up material that might add to mainspace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:16, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

User:Theplugsboy/sandbox
Once again, a collection of placement tables for imaginary "fantasy football" versions of television reality competitions. Although there are no specific identifiers of exactly which shows are being spoofed, two of the tables are RuPaul's Drag Race format (i.e. highs and lows and Miss Congenialities) and filled with names that do seem strongly redolent of drag queens (including, but not limited to, a couple that are right-on-the-nose expies of real RPDR contestants) -- while the third is straight-up Big Brother (with "Villa" allusions suggestive of the Hungarian version specifically). The page has also been used in the past to create an imaginary teenagers' season of Big Brother UK.
As always, sandbox space is not a free playground for users to make up imaginary stuff for the lulz -- it is for working on stuff that's meant to be returned to mainspace, such as draft versions of real articles about real things, not for playing fantasy football with stuff that's happening only in your imagination.

Wikipedia:Do worry about performance
This is a 10-year-old "quick draft to be expanded later" created by a user who was indefinitely blocked and thus will never expand it. No substantive edits to the page since 2012. Guy Macon (talk) 23:46, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep (possibly in userspace): I for one like having these old essays and other WP: pages around. They give the wiki a bit of character, and while they may be obsolete as actual guidelines they do no harm as long as they have a “historical” tag on top. User:GKFXtalk 00:36, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep — should be marked as historical, but it's not doing any harm. — csc-1 00:48, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Userfy, despite the creator being indeffed. This doesn't deserve the implicit approval of projectspace, but isn't so incoherent or dangerous as to demand deletion. Vaticidalprophet 05:26, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Userfy and Mark Historical. Part completed draft that is incomplete, a decade out of date, and directly contradicts the instructions from the WMF that normal editors should not be worrying about performance. The editors who work in areas where performance is important (i.e. template editors, interface administrators, bot operators etc) should have sufficient knowledge of the site to avoid creating major issues, and there are much better places to get advice on issues than an "I told you so" essay from a decade ago. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:53, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

- Could you clarify why you've nominated this for deletion? To submit the draft all you need to do is add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the page in the source editor. It is an unsourced BLP and would need sourcing before it can be accepted into the encyclopedia, but the subject seems like they would be notable and it isn't promotional. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 16:49, 25 March 2021 (UTC) Speedy keep so what? SK2242 (talk) 17:31, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Weak keep: I'm hesitant to cast an unconditional keep !vote for an unsourced BLP, but an unsourced draft BLP is a very different thing ("drafts are not checked for notability or sanity"). Presumably, the author had planned to add sources, and as the subject appears notable anyone planning to pick it up would be able to do so. The dangers of an unsourced BLP relate to their presence in the mainspace, where they're accessible to readers and search engines; draftspace is a black box. The deletion rationale given, of course, is irrelevant. Vaticidalprophet 18:45, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per Vaticidalprohpet. Appears to be a serious attempt at an article that lacks contentious information. It'll get picked up by G13 if it remains abandoned. — csc-1 01:00, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Endeavor Business Media
Nominating this draft for an MfD. As the CSD-G11 tag was not appropriate in the first place. - Hatchens (talk) 04:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. Hey Hatchens. Just wondering if you have additional info to add to your nomination? Is your concern notability, spamming, something else? Personally I am leaning toward keep, as this COI editor disclosed their COI early on (see top and [2]) and in my opinion has tried in good faith to follow our protocols. However, I am happy to hear your reasoning. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:28, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Weak keep for now. This doesn't seem to be in the fairly narrow range of drafts MfD is good for, where speedies are inappropriate but the thing needs to get out ASAP without waiting for a G13. Draftspace is hidden and self-clearing; declared/'legitimate' COI editing that nonetheless doesn't rise to the level of inclusion in the encyclopedia proper is just fine. Vaticidalprophet 07:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Weak keep not promo enough to get rid of now. SK2242 (talk) 17:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Weak Keep per Vaticidalprophet, should probably be sent back here if rejected. — csc-1 02:30, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Hi Novem Linguae, The only additional information is... a general consensus needed to either keep this draft or delete it because CSD-G11 tag which I put earlier was not appropriate (as suggested by Timtrent). -Hatchens (talk) 04:11, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment it was not a clear G11, so declined it. While the draft is referenced solely to PR and regurgitated PR and authored by a paid editor who cannot hear that their referencing is unacceptable, it might just as well wither on the vine. However, does this not just give work for folk at G13 time? If resubmitted it ought to be rejected, after all. It will fail a main space AfD (0.8 probability) in this state. Fiddle Faddle 08:05, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Appears to be a one-participant WikiProject created without going through the procedures per Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals.

StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: Ok, please give me a few days and I will try to find some people to join me. Plus I saw some similar Wikiprojects such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Jennifer Lopez that only had one participant, while they are also inactive. But I myself I am active in this peoject and this project helps me to have a good observation on the articles related to Ricky Martin and it will help me to focus on my edits. I just worked on Tiburones and Cántalo and now they are good articles. This project really helps me and I really worked hard on it and spent a few days just to make it complete. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 22:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

- Keep as a premature nomination. I'm not very inclined to support these sorts of tiny WikiProjects, but this is way too soon. Vaticidalprophet 07:12, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - Although Ricky Martin is very notable in latino music, the articles can be gathered into a portal, not a WikiProject. However, It's too soon to delete this WikiProject. The deletion proposal can be re-issued when the WikiProject gets inactive. An example: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Camila Cabello (2nd nomination). -- BrandNew Jim Zhang (talk) 13:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - There appears to be at least 5 participants now in the project. While its a low number, I feel that the nominator's concern is met here as the project appears to be heading in the right direction. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:56, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - Per nom. The nomination is not premature; the project is premature. The reason we have guidelines is to keep over-enthusiastic editors from finding themselves in deep holes because they got the cart before the horse. Ignoring institutional wisdom because it can be ignored just encourages more recklessness by this user. But if it must be kept, at least downgrade it to a task force, and place it under an active project where it can be shepherded properly. BilCat (talk) 19:23, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- I don't see any relevant guidelines which prohibit new wiki-projects. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- @BilCat: I'm sorry sir, I don't know why you're talking about me this way. I just created this project to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Ricky Martin. He's a notable artist in Latin Music, and his article (Ricky Martin) has received over 11 million views. Plus, he has many releases and there are many related articles to him and I thought creating a wikiproject for him is a good idea, as many other notable artists have wikiprojects. That's all. I know I'm not an expert and I'm not as professional as you are, your majesty. I just try to improve wikipedia articles and myself. I promise that I'm not reckless and ignoring this won't "encourage more recklessness" by me. I'm sorry if I had done something wrong that made you think about me this way. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 16:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep for now, with no prejudice against renomination in say 6 months to a years time. Give it a chance to get started, if in 6 months it's inactive then consider merging it to someplace like WikiProject Musicians. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:11, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

The advice given by the essay is a combination of confusing and nonsensical (what does "Verify each source" mean? where would you report sources as inaccurate?) and just flat out wrong ("show every source and use all of them" is not the correct way of dealing with this - you should represent all well reported mainstream views in accordance with due weight, not every source you can find). I see no need to have two essays covering the exact same issue and reaching the exact same conclusion (Write articles according to NPOV) when one of them deviates so far from accepted practices. I propose that this essay should be deleted and it's shortcut retargeted to Wikipedia:Conflicting sources.

The result of the discussion was: delete. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:28, 26 March 2021 (UTC) Draft:The Tenor ShowPartial hoax. The series exists, but most of the content is made-up and there is no indication of notability. Author is a sock of Peluches extronidos, a locked LTA. —Hasley[talk] 21:36, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:28, 26 March 2021 (UTC) Draft:Offshore Model Racing AssociationThis draft has been declined twice and rejected twice, all by different reviewers. Today the author resubmitted it for review with no improvement. I rolled back their edits and left them a message on their user talk page warning them about disruptive editing. They have just resubmitted it yet again, with the only change being to remove the name of the organisation's chairman from the infobox. I think this constitutes tendentious editing, the editor has confirmed COI. There's no hope for this draft and it should be deleted. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:25, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:28, 26 March 2021 (UTC) Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Rgalo10Utterly pointless and contrary to policy. Not every sock master is an LTA and we certainly shouldn’t be giving attention them. This has no value and SPI is functional enough for this purpose. VAXIDICAE💉 02:16, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: redirect to Minecraft. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC) Draft:MooshroomNon-notable item of Minecraft fancruft. This is being submitted to MFD because it was Rejected by reviewer User:Tagishsimon, but an IP, probably the originator editing logged out, then removed the rejection: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Mooshroom&type=revision&diff=994837124&oldid=994834709&diffmode=source Then copied into article space also, where it could not be draftified, because there was already a draft, and was nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mooshroom. That is an article in article space. This is in draft space, so that deletion is not bundled with the AFD. Deletion is being requested, not because of non-notability, which does not apply to drafts, but because of abuse of the review process. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:48, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. I have not subst'd it - if we're deleting it based on the content being problematic, substing to preserve it would rather defeat the purpose. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC) User:Firefly/Userbox Archive/User 911truthThis userbox is offensive and supports a disproved conspiracy theory. By allowing this userbox to remain we are telling users that it is okay to believe this. βӪᑸᙥӴ • Talk • Contribs 21:06, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
