Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Tiamut/Palestine - Wikipedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was Delete. The keep arguments were not as persuasive as the policy-based arguments to delete. Cunard's argument was particularly on-target. Horologium (talk) 13:33, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unused copy of existing mainspace article; first edit summary suggests content fork; last content edit was in September 2009 Green Giant (talk) 04:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Its not a content fork. I was simply trying to preserve the relevant sourced information in the article as it was prior to the emergence of a multi-player edit war. I also added the names of sources to add in the future, once the edit war died down. Since I don't have much time to edit Wiki at the present moment, I'd appreciate the page being left alone until I can get back to it. But if people feel its taking up too much server space or posing some other problem, they can feel free to delete. Tiamut^talk 14:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep What a waste of Wikipedia users time to go over this silly deletion request. I've had articles in user space since 2007 that I am just starting to work on. As long as the page is not an attack or racist page, user pages should be left alone that too when the users are saying they are working on it when they get time.

• Delete Archived version exists in the article history, no need to preserve a copy in userspace. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
• Keep and close this off-target request. Lots and lots of users have their own sandboxes and work pages in their user space. Such pages are explicitly permitted by Wikipedia:USERSUBPAGE and no grounds for deletion have been identified. User pages are not content forks! Also, the guidelines at Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion say "User pages about Wikipedia-related matters by established users usually do not qualify for deletion."

• Delete per WP:FAKEARTICLE. Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 17:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per reasons give by Zero. Note that WP:USER#Common uses of userspace specifically allows "Work in progress or material that you may come back to in future (usually on subpages)" --NSH001 (talk) 19:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. the article is sitting there untouched for over a year while the editor has made thousands of edits. Clearly not a work in progress.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 20:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete WP:FAKEARTICLE states: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion."

  Because this userspace draft violates WP:FAKEARTICLE and WP:NOTWEBHOST, it should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 20:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:FAKEARTICLE. If this were a more recent draft or material on an uncontroversial subject, I would encourage more leeway, but this has been untouched for over a year and the topic is one where POV forks are likely. --RL0919 (talk) 13:27, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
