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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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.

Please familiarize yourself with the following policies

How to list pages for deletion

[edit]
Shortcut

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.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Aramea

[edit]
Wikipedia:WikiProject Aramea (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)​

WikiProject Aramea was created in 2015, and through viewing the edit history, has rarely seen any edits or discussion on creation or editing of articles since that time. Additionally, many of its formerly active members were sockpuppet accounts of users that have since been blocked indefinitely. The WikiProject itself is almost an exact carbon copy of WikiProject Assyria, with the same sections, graphics, and layout. I am proposing that the WikiProject be deleted as it essentially acts as a content fork, which is one of Wikipedia's criteria for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Surayeproject3 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would normally suggest keeping archive as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Dealing with inactive WikiProjects..... However reviewing the Page's history it seems that this is all shock puppetry.... so deletion is fine nothing to save here. Moxy🍁 18:50, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't think it being a "content fork" is a good justification for deletion given that only really applies to articles, and all it is is made from the same template. The real reason for deletion would be that it is inactive and hasn't done much, plus the sockpuppets, I think: the relevant policy is:
Looking myself there has been 1 non-bot comment on the talk page, 8 years ago, by someone who was not a member of the wikiproject. There are no members and because there is no category for WikiProject aramea articles, it is unclear how many articles are associated with it. Support deletion given if someone actually wants to make this wikiproject they can make another one, and it does seem to meet the criterion of not having grown much since its founding.

Wikiversuite pages

[edit]
User:Carol45azel/WikemPG (including subpages)
User:Hazel45onnie/User Page Builder (including subpages)
User:Tonymax469/Wikiversal/WikemPG (including subpages)
User:Tonymax469/Wikiversal/Wikiversal Getting Started (including subpages)

These pages were all created by in 2012 to document and promote a piece of software written by User:Planotse intended to generate wiki content. All of these users appear to be sockpuppets created with the express intent of hosting one of these mini-sites and, in some cases, promoting it to new users - I'm not quite sure what Planotse was up to here, but it seems more than a little "sus".

This software is no longer available, so these pages no longer serve any purpose. I'm nominating them for deletion as part of a cross-wiki cleanup; some of them are linked to from pages created by Planotse on other Wikimedia projects (cf. b:Wikibooks:Requests for deletion#Wikiversal generated pages).

Oppose using mfd to background clerk MfD. Do not delete unless the request is agreed to by a SPI clerk or a checkuser. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:32, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear: this activity all occurred in 2012, and, as far as I'm aware, all of the users involved have been dormant since then. It's beyond stale; there's no chance whatsoever that CU will intervene here, and I don't expect them to do so. Omphalographer (talk) 02:20, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have 237 edits. You arrived to go straight into XfD stuff. Now you’re clerking very old userpages of blocked users, and you’re telling me you known the behaviours of CUs. I suspect you to be violating WP:SOCK by editing projectspace not using your main account. What prior accounts have you used, and how do you come to concerned about these very old pages, which have no pageviews or incoming links? SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:44, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, this is part of a cross-project cleanup. Please refer to my global account list if you're concerned about my low edit count on this project. Additionally: some of these subpages are actually linked from other projects using direct URLs, e.g. on b:User Page Builder/Topic List. Omphalographer (talk) 14:50, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete All:
      • A review of the contribution histories of the contributing authors shows that none of them made any contribution to Wikipedia other than these edits to peddle software, so that these pages all qualify as U5, web hosting.
      • The contributing authors could also have all been indeffed as not here to contribute to the encyclopedia, because they were only here to peddle software.
      • As the nominator points out in passing, Tonymax469 was trying to promote their software to new users. That would have been a reason to block them. This is a deletion request, and the reason for deletion is that this is a misuse of user space.
      • The fact that the three contributors were probably sockpuppets is only an observation and not the reason for requesting deletion.
      • Maybe the authors and Planotse should have been reported to SPI twelve years ago. That is not important.
      • It doesn't matter whether there were three humans behind the accounts, or one human with three accounts, or if one human did all of this with one account. It is spam.

Not a RFORK. No articles involved. Do not bring draftspace junk curation to mfd. There may be some unimportant copyright noncompliance. Fix by redirecting the new draft to the old draft with a note that the new one is a partial copy of the old one.
Starting a new draft with a subset of the content of another draft is not inherently bad. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a horrible "template" that makes the simple process of adding or following discussions on a talk page, extremely hard. It's also a duplicate of the Wikipedia:Tip of the day for no reason at all. Compare the current version of Wikipedia talk:Tip of the day to this version.

All prior XfDs for this page:

Unclear what has changed since Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern African Music & Sound. The few new editors that just signed up to Wikipedia is hardly a sign this project will survive. At best that needs to be a task force (if even that). Gonnym (talk) 18:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep due to no deletion rational proffered by the nomination. This should be a talk page discussion. The claim, This project has now attracted about 20 editors, and we've made a significant contribution to wikipedia. Please see the campaign here: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/southern_african_music__sound/programs, should be discussed on the talk page, not at MfD. SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:42, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The deletion rationale is the same as for the first deletion nomination in March 2024, which was closed as delete. The work of a WikiProject is normally done at its talk page. The talk page of this project had 159 pageviews in the year 2024, which is less than 1 daily pageview, and 113 of those pageviews were on 18 March 2024, in connection with the previous MFD. The project page itself shows 399 pageviews in the year 2024, or approximately 1 daily pageview. and 117 of those pageviews were on 18 March 2024. The activity for both the project page and the project talk page is in two clusters, the first between 13 March 2024 and 1 April 2024, and the second between 18 September 2024 and 20 September 2024. It appears that this project and its project talk page were entirely unused between 2 April 2024 and 17 September 2024. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:57, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Neither the deletion rationale or the circumstances are the same. The March 2024 MfD was not closed as delete. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:56, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was submitted to AfC draft review queue - user space page filled with obscene/graphic content (warning to discussion participants) ostensibly to prove a point about WP being uncensored, but seems like a clear violation of WP:UP#NOT to me. I don't see a real reason for this page other than trolling AfC reviewers and wasting time that could be spent on more important tasks. ~Liancetalk 20:54, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Page seems to want to intentionally shock the readers, and that's not what userpages are for. Doing so to make a point only makes it worse. (Note: the user has not edited since last April). Cambalachero (talk) 17:05, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good point about the user not editing since April, I should've caught that but just wanted the page out of my sight at the time of nomination (seems like an IP submitted it for review)... I'm still standing by my deletion nomination as this is a pretty obvious violation of WP:UP#NOT ~Liancetalk 14:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Blank. Attempting to achieve an outcome by shocking AfC reviewers is maybe disruption. I see this as a collection of links to Wikipedia content that Yumuli (talk · contribs) thinks should be deleted. They may be correct, the videos are of dubious encyclopedic merit, and I believe that amateur self-photography submissions were discouraged. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's Commons files. The standing sex vid was kept in a deletion discussion, and the cunnilingus one is used on the Asturian Wikipedia. In general, these files aren't going anywhere. They're not low-quality enough for a Commons consensus to delete. —Alalch E. 11:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: The list's topic is suitable for Wikipedia. There are no examples to fill it right now, but there's no harm to keep it in draft space until such examples appear and the list can grow to a decent size (and rest assured that examples will eventually appear) Cambalachero (talk) 17:32, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Likely Hoax. The one reference returns a 404 error. References are not required in drafts (except of BLPs), but broken references give reason to question the good faith of IPs whose good faith has been lacking. When a good-faith editor wants to create a good-faith entry in the list, they can request undeletion of this draft as a skeleton. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:34, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete until 2028 – I was only being nosy looking through stuff; not necessarily intending to comment on anything; but I’ve got to comment on this.
I might not necessarily have a whole lot of experience on policies; but to create a draft of animated television series slated to be released five years from now is ridiculous if you ask me. There are probably animated television series that’ll end up being released in 2029 that haven’t even begun production; probably series that haven’t even been conceived yet.
Now that said; when we get to about October, November of 2028; I would fully support someone drafting this. But until then Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 03:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep unless the nominator provides a link to the other draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Earliest edit I could find. Please note that that sandbox was moved to article space six weeks earlier, and again five days later.[1].
  • Weak Delete this is older than the article that was created is (2017 vs 2023), and this editor has been inactive over 7 years and non-responsive to their talk page. All appearances of being abandoned. TiggerJay (talk) 06:54, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blank. The article and the much older abandoned draft don't have a shared history. The draft is about a living person and is poorly sourced and mildly promotional. There was no need to nominate this for deletion because involvement of administrators and other editors is not required.—Alalch E. 19:45, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Useless only has 1 page and apparently only has ever had 1 page as per page history Isla🏳️‍⚧ 23:29, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It used to have most of the pages in the projectspace back in 2021. Hasn't been touched by anyone since 2021, and since then the bot malfunctioned and trimmed it down to exactly 1 page and I doubt there's any interest within the project to bring it back.

Portal:Schleswig-Holstein (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)​

Consensus was reached at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Schleswig-Holstein (2nd nomination) to move this to Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Portal:Schleswig-Holstein, but was moved back by its creator in 2022 after zero substantive changes were made to the portal. If this was 2022, I would revert this unilateral move against the MFD consensus. But this is almost two years later and WP:SILENCE is consensus, so I am back at MFD seeking consensus for deletion from portalspace for the same reasons – primarily because This subject is arguably not broad enough to exist as a standard portal. No objection to projectspace-fying, if the WikiProject wishes to keep it around. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:33, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep - There is no need for this so-called portal and no need to delete this so-called portal. This portal is a large menu. There is none of the usual portal code behind the façade. What is behind the façade is a listing of more than 120 article titles, at which I stopped counting them and did not have a convenient tool to automate the counting. This menu is almost completely unused. In the year 2023, it had an average of 1 daily pageview, while the lead article had an average of 959 daily pageviews. But the user who went to the portal got to look over a list of articles and view the ones that they wanted. I am generally skeptical of portals. This looks like a portal, but it is a menu, and menus are useful for navigation. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:35, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: as a well-known portalista I'm generally inclined to keep the portals which are left as examples of type (like old ships kept in "mothballs"). This is a portal of a very odd style; like User:Robert McClenon, I find this unusual construction compelling as a menu. I'm also interested in the intact digital artifact. Because of the coding, many older-style portals fall apart when moved from portalspace, but this one should move to project space fine. FYI, while pagecreator User:Bermicourt self-reported as retired in January, they've edited as recently as two months ago. BusterD (talk) 14:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It isn't odd, it's German. This is how they make them over at dewiki. Essentially they are outlines with some added visual structure. —Alalch E. 16:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
