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
- Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion no drafts
- Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion no portals
- Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion no user pages
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 6 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.

[edit]Created in 2007, remained abandoned until 2018 when received few editions, but they have maintained the portal's obsolete structure. Statics subpages like Portal:Genocide/Selected article/1 and Portal:Genocide/Selected article/14 shows incorrect information. Not supported by any Wikiproject. Page views in the past 30 days, 747, against 51,354 views of main article. This portal is particularly problematic per WP:NPOV, does not make clear the criteria for displaying content relationships. Example, "Related portals" linking genocide to politics, religion or communism. Guilherme Burn (talk) 00:49, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Net negative for readers. Readers who get to the end of the Genocide article should not click on the link to Portal:Genocide but should read another article about genocide if they want to keep learning about this topic.—Alalch E. 01:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: As an inferior content fork of Genocide for readers, and an inferior redundant page to Wikipedia:WikiProject Human rights for editors and potential editors, it is for all purposes a negative and should be culled. Nobody seems interested in the records of Wikipedia’s experiment of internet navigation by portals, an experiment that was already failed before the start of Wikipedia, eclipsed by internet search engines, so, delete without worrying about archiving.

Unused discussion page from 2009; single author. Tule-hog (talk) 20:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Serves no purpose and has no value. Gonnym (talk) 22:50, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Don't just delete It's supposed to be transcluded from Talk:Wiki/Archive 2#New version, but the subpage transclusion was broken when it was archived to that page. We might move it to Talk:Wiki/Archive 2/lede so the subpage transclusion works, or subst it into that archive before deleting it, or fix the archive page to transclude it from where it is now. Anomie⚔ 00:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Withdrawn: Good catch, I should have checked through the archives more thoroughly. I went ahead with moving to a subpage of the archive; maybe I'll come back to redirect-for-deletion the current page later. Tule-hog (talk) 03:15, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Unattributed copies of Fandom content at https://peppapig.fandom.com/wiki/The_Olden_Days (et al.) some with transcripts which are probably copyright violations. Instead of providing attribution which would be a necessity if keeping and removing the probable copyvio content, I find that it is better to simply delete these pages.—Alalch E. 20:13, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
This is not a proper way to create a WikiProject. And also it is redundant to WikiProject Biography. Should we merge it? Vitaium (talk) 15:58, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Draftspace is self-cleaning (see WP:G13) so it isn't important to bring pages like these up for discussion.—Alalch E. 19:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Unlike the previously deleted WikiProject Roblox, this one is a draft version created by an IP. Sadly, many Roblox games, players and any other stuffs aren't notable enough to qualify as article and many of that sources for Roblox related topic are generally unreliable and the creator itself did not follow the guideline how to create a WikiProject. Vitaium (talk) 00:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak Delete because we are here. This is a rejected draft, and could have been left alone for six months, but, as the nominator says, it is going nowhere, and is not a draft article, but a draft WikiProject, which is not the way WikiProjects come into being.

This article fail to meet WP:N criteria on WP:BLP and WP:POLITICIAN. A candidate at the 2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Kano State but not elected ([1] / [2]). No WP:RS and WP:IS available for WP:V. QEnigma talk 03:07, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]This draft has been declined numerous times as per WP:CRYSTAL. We also have no idea what would be the name for the next Windows version and there is a chance that Microsoft would change its naming scheme so the name might not be Windows 12. I would also suggest to create protect this draft until it has been officially announced by Microsoft Vitaium (talk) 11:30, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per policy. Cretinous page, now four years in the making. SerialNumber54129A New Face in Hell 13:41, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Per nom. This draft has been declined many times because no information about Windows 12 has been officially released and the main space version of Windows 12 has been deleted multiple times. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 16:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- KeepBECAUSE DRAGONFLY IS A FUTURE TITAN PROBE AND WHY ARE YOU DELETING IT ITS THE SAME AS THE BEATLES UPCOMING EVENT AND YOU JUST DELETE IT. ಠ_ಠ Iamsteve69420 (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Iamsteve69420: Your reason is not reasonable and we are not deleting this draft, we are deciding whether the draft should be deleted or not. Vitaium (talk) 04:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Please don't reply in all caps. That means you are shouting or screaming, and can be viewed as a bit childish. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Delete- Rejected twice after 7 declines. This is a waste of the community's time in dealing with users who keep ignoring the need to get rid of this zombie page. ECP SALT so that an experienced editor can create either a draft or a redirect when there is news from Microsoft about the next version of Windows. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:33, 5 January 2025 (UTC)- Comment - I noted in another MFD that drafts should only be nominated for deletion in extraordinary circumstances. Being rejected twice and declined 7 times is the sort of extraordinary circumstance that calls for deletion of drafts. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:33, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. While this would never make it into mainspace right now, this is a product that is likely to be released in the future. I have it watchlisted so that when reliable sources start covering it more, I can watch as the article is expanded and possibly promote it to mainspace. As an example, here's a major tech website that released an article on this a couple weeks ago. What is needed here is for new editors to stop submitting this when it is in a state that will not pass. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The existence of this page is consistent with WP:DRAFTREASON #3. The purpose of drafts is satisfied and the contents are not so bad as to be categorically unfit for public viewing on the entire en.wikipedia.org website. But I get it, okay, I get it... Maybe block any tendentious resubmitters and implement some protection.—Alalch E. 19:09, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Striking Delete per Novem Linguae comment, and not replacing it with an opinion. If the draft is kept, it should be ECP Protected so that inexperienced editors cannot submit it for review. If it is submitted by experienced editors, they should know better and should be partially blocked. No longer saying Delete or Keep. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Promotional draft written by the company's founder (see User:Kenneth Palmestål) whose mininimal edit history seems to be mostly about promoting his company. A google search shows no indication this company could meet WP:NCORP but not bad enough for WP:G11 or WP:U5, so bringing it here. RoySmith (talk) 15:45, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

- Not sure why a sandbox text should be deleted, but ok. Kenneth Palmestål (talk) 15:01, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Kenneth Palmestål: It is because it violates the policy that Wikipedia is not a webhost and also not an ad platform. Vitaium (talk) 16:09, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- Wikipedia:WikiProject Islamic manuscripts (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)
This was never a real project. One member (the creator) with only two edits days to the main page of the project and that's it. Zero talk page activity or anything else. Gonnym (talk) 08:49, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete As the nominator says, there was never any collaboration involved in this supposed WikiProject. The work of a WikiProject is done on its talk page, but there has been no activity on the talk page. The originator is blocked, and so is unlikely to restart this supposed project. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete If someone wanted to start collaboration in this area then they'd do better to try and start a taskforce at WikiProject Islam.-- D'n'B-📞 -- 10:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
