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:, 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.

Please consider this as Miscellany request instead of a regular CSD to delete my userpage, any subpages and any other content to the maximum extent possible provided you do not find any pending issues involving me.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Morales91 |
---|
The result of the discussion was Speedy IAR delete. Morales is clearly not here to actually work on an encyclopedia, evidenced by the 1k+ edits she has made to her fake biography, and the fact that after this MFD was opened she simply recreated the page under a new account, Jamie926 (talk · contribs). Someguy1221 (talk) 05:10, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a free webhost for things made up one day, and blatantly false content is incomptaible with the goals and purpose of this project. The above user pages are fake articles that reference real songs, albums, and artists – e.g., Mary J. Blige (My Life), Evanescence ("My Immortal"), Kelis ("Young, Fresh n' New"), Jennifer Lopez ("If You Had My Love"), Gaga ("LoveGame"), Alicia Keys (The Element of Freedom), Justin Timberlake (Justified), Adele (21), Katy Perry ("Wide Awake"), and countless others – and attribute all of the music to a "Janelle". While Janelle may be a real person, her biography at User talk:Morales91/Sandbox, musical output, and fame is certainly invented. I attempted to bring the issue to the user's attention, but he or she blanked my post without comment, showing no interest in participating in a conversation, and then restored the problem text. The user has made more than 2,000 edits since May 2012, and all of them have been in userspace. -- Black Falcon (talk) 16:39, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon (2nd nomination) |
---|
The result of the discussion was Keep. The consensus is clear—the page should be kept. It was already mentioned that "The Wikipedia community is generally tolerant and offers fairly wide latitude in applying these guidelines [WP:USERBIO] to regular participants.", which appears to apply here. Ruslik_Zero 19:13, 8 September 2013 (UTC) Per WP:USERBIO, this much information on the user in question as an individual is unnecessary and not pertinent to the development of an encyclopedia. I see detailed information on poker stats (!), martial arts interests, academics, and family life, all of which is presented a pseudo-Wikipedia tone. Aside from this, there is also an issue of promotional language, such as "prominent Chicago martial artist", "standout collegiate powerlifter", and "The Greatest Poker Tournament Player on The Fool" (emphasis mine). This was originally created as an article (perhaps for promotional purposes), then userfied when no reliable sources came up. In user space it continued to grow (almost 900 edits from user), and then the previous MFD two years ago closed as no consensus. I think it's high time we stopped providing free, prominent web space (first hit in Google for Antonio Vernon), as required by policy. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:58, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Dos y Dos (2nd nomination) |

The result of the discussion was Move to Dos y Dos per consensus, non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:10, 3 October 2013 (UTC) Another item that followed the "wrong path" to incubation. Unless I have missed something this never was a mainspace article, it was moved from userspace to the incubator in 2010. There it sat until it was deleted as a result of an admittedly low-participation MFD a few months ago. then it was recreated a month ago per request of a user. I would argue that an item with this sort of history should only be recreated in the incubator if there is a reasonable chance it can be moved to mainspace and become a "real" article. And at a glance this almost looks like it could, until one sees all the "citation needed" tags and what do not look to my eye like independent reliable sources in the ref section. I therefore suggest this be deleted outright or, failing that, moved to mainspace. The incubator is not supposed to be used for indefinite storage yet this has been a draft in one place or another for nearly four years. While there is no deadline I feel it is time for this to either become an article or be removed from Wikipedia altogether. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 16:57, 3 September 2013 (UTC) This was moved into the incubator after an AFD over a year ago and has had no substantive edits in that time. the purpose of the incubator is to work on articles of marginal notability, not store them indefinitely, and since the film was released in 2011 it is highly unlikely it is suddenly going to become more notable at some point in the future.

It has been edited since then but is apparently still found to be unsuitable for mainspace according to the discussion a user had with themselves on the talk page. Incubation is not for permanent storage of material the community has rejected, especially BLP articles, so I suggest this stale draft be deleted if the subject still does not meet the notability guideline.

The result of the discussion was deleted by the Silence. --BDD (talk) 18:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
This was moved here after an AFD in 2011. There was a discussion on the talk page regarding moving it back but unfortunately it was just one user discussing the matter with themselves and the admin who incubated it declined to move it back, ( see its talk page for links to that discussion) so it seems we need a broader discussion to find a consensus on whether to move this back to mainspace or delete it, keeping it in the incubator after so much time is not really a reasonable option as it is not supposed to be used to indefinitely store articles the community has rejected.

This used to be a mainspace article, it underwent an AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of female video game characters by role which was closed with a consensus to delete, but somehow it wound up being incubated instead. That was eight months ago. There has been some work done on it relatively recently, but it does not seem to have overcome the issues that led to the decision to delete and Another AFD is pretty much certain if it were moved back, so it should probably just be deleted. Many commenters at the AFD felt it would be better as a category and I am strongly inclined to agree with that perspective. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete mainly per NOTHOST (in userspace) and NOTDIR (as to the prospects of this in mainspace). I will happy email the content of the deleted page to Adam mugliston on request. BencherliteTalk 21:35, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Since Lists of bus routes in "X" have been deemed uncyclopedic, Having these stored is now pointless -

The result of the discussion was delete. BencherliteTalk 21:27, 6 September 2013 (UTC) At first I halfway suspected this was a joke. In a way it is. This poor draft has been passed around like a blunt at a Snoop Dogg concert, from user space to the abandoned draft project, back to userspace, and just over a year ago came to the incubator where it has not had any substantive edits. Despite all the different users who have given it their time there is not a single reliable source attached, so it is unlikely it would make it in mainspace.

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 18:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC) This was moved to the incubator in 2010 and has had no substantive edits in the interval. Incubating clearly has not had the desired effect. Should either be moved back to mainspace or deleted. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:52, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. BencherliteTalk 21:30, 6 September 2013 (UTC) This was moved into the incubator in November of last year. There have been no substantive edits in all that time, so incubation appears to have failed in this case. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:21, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete. The page has not been edited in any substantive way since being incubated and hasn't been improved. --> "incubation" not having the desired effect. -- Jreferee (talk) 06:55, 4 September 2013 (UTC) This was created in 2007 and moved to the incubator in May after an AFD in which nobody advocated incubating... It has not been edited in any substantive way since then, so clearly "incubation" is not having the desired effect. That being the case it should either be moved back to mainspace or deleted.

The result of the discussion was Move to mainspace. Consensus is that the topic has significant coverage per WP:GNG, even though principal photography has not yet started. The draft clearly is ready for article space. WP:NFF and a fear of deletion appears to be preventing established editors from improving Wikipedia in this case. Wikipedia rules should not work to discourage established editors from collectively working together to add notable, stand-alone content to article space. -- Jreferee (talk) 03:52, 3 September 2013 (UTC) This is an odd case. From what I can see this article was created in the incubator as opposed to being moved into it. This film seems to be in "development hell" having been in the pre-production stage for some seven years. They're planning to start casting it sometime this year. After 13 months of "incubation" we should be able to determine if this is notable enough to be moved to mainspace, or should be deleted per WP:FFILM. (and yes, I realize that is "just an essay" but it is a good guide to what kinds of unmade films we should have articles on) Beeblebrox (talk) 17:36, 11 August 2013 (UTC) Addendum: per my remarks below, I would consider merging with Ant-Man a viable alternative as well. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:15, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
Putting aside the small point that this is MFD not AFD, you seem reluctant to explain why this should not be moved to mainspace as you are supplying what appear to be procedural objections while at the same time making a good case for notability. Despite it being mentioned several times, you don't seem to get that this is actually not how the incubator is supposed to be used, things are only supposed to land in it after an AFD, not be created in it and kept there indefinitely. This has been in the incubator for over a year despite there never having been a consensus to put it there in the first place and despite the fact that it is actually a misuse of the incubator.
I have never actually said we should have no content on this film, but I do not see why a draft article with 24 sources, that you insist is only going to get more notable, cannot be moved to mainspace. Could you provide a clear, specific, non-procedural reason why keeping this in the incubator is preferable to moving to mainspace? Beeblebrox (talk) 17:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

See discussion at WT:Article Incubator/ITablet#Incubator Greenhouse discussion. There is an interesting story here, but not the one on the Article page. To use Wikipedia to synthesize the available sources would be WP:SYNTH. Based on the sources now listed, a Taiwanese company registered the name in 2004 and went to being British owned, while rumors leaked that Apple had selected the name for what is now the iPad. The article has the story of the report that a competition iPad was being released, just weeks after the release of the iPad. The current info is that the product is a keyboard. I looked in both Google books and on the web for a synthesis of reports about the history of the tradename. Meanwhile, "X2 Computing" and "AMtek" are topics that appear to be under-covered in the encyclopedia. As per Ultra-mobile PC, AMtek was the 2nd company to release a UMPC. As a further complication, there is an existing article at Itablet, with an associated talk page. IMO, this is one of those cases in which a double redirect is correct. Itablet should redirect to ITablet with a {{nobots}} template, so that however ITablet is handled, Itablet will follow. There is also an issue in that the mainspace article has been indefinitely protected. After asking the admin, this seems to have been a misunderstanding. The article in 2007 and that in 2010 were different, and the 3rd deletion was not done because of a re-creation. The third deletion was done to remove an improperly attributed copy of the incubated article, which was copied to change the redirect into an article. A redirect out of AfD is not binding, and although it may be helpful to have incubated articles protected, keeping the article protected going forward would interfere with someone wanting to edit the article. As for this MfD, I propose that the edit history for the incubated article and the incubated talk page be history merged in mainspace at ITablet and Talk:ITablet, the redirect at ITablet be restored, both targets be marked with {{lowercase}}, protection removed, and the incubated article and talk page be deleted.

The result of the discussion was keep. There Tony1 only says, that he has nothing against the deletion of the page, but not that he doesn't want it. Therefore the move of the page in Wikipedia namespace should be discussed with him first. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:16, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
