Miscellany for deletion (MfD) is a place where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic pages in the namespaces outside of the main article namespace which aren't covered by other specialized deletion discussion areas. Items sent here are usually discussed for five days; then are either deleted by an administrator or kept, based on community consensus (determined using the discussion as a guideline).

Contents

Introduction

The only currently-used namespaces in which pages are eligible for deletion here are:

  • Help:
  • Portal:
  • MediaWiki:
  • Wikipedia:
This includes WikiProjects, although it is usually preferable to either mark the Project as historical or change it to a task force of the parent Project, unless the Project is entirely undesirable.
  • User:
When a page in the User or User talk namespaces seems worthy of deletion, please explain your concerns using either a personal note or by adding "{{subst:Uw-userpage}} ~~~~" to their talk page. While this step is not required, it does assume 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}}.
When the user has no recent edits and has made little or no contribution to the encyclopedia, please consider using proposed deletion. (Please do not use it when these conditions are not met.) This is a lighter-weight process, and permits deletions which are unlikely to be contested to be made without requiring discussion and consensus.
  • the various Talk: namespaces

The undeletion of pages deleted after having been discussed here, and debating whether discussions here have been properly closed, is the purview of Wikipedia:Deletion review, which operates in accordance with our undeletion policy.

Please familiarize yourself with the following policies

Prerequisites

Please bear in mind that:

  • Nominating a Wikipedia policy or guideline page, or one of the deletion discussion areas (or their sub-pages), for deletion will probably be considered disruptive, and the ensuing discussions closed early. This is not a forum for modifying or revoking policy.
  • Nominating for deletion a proposed policy or guideline page that is still under discussion is generally frowned upon. 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.
  • User pages about Wikipedia-related matters by established users usually do not qualify for 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.
  • If a page is in the wrong namespace (e.g. an article in Wikipedia namespace), simply move it and tag the redirect for speedy deletion using {{db-reason}} using the reason: Redirect left after a cross-namespace move - G6 Housekeeping and notify the author of the original article of the cross-namespace move.

How to list pages for deletion

Please check the aforementioned list of deletion discussion areas to check that you are in the right area.

To list an article/page for deletion, follow this three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page, including its namespace, to be deleted)

I.
Edit PageName.

  Enter the following text at the top of the page you are listing for deletion:

{{subst:mfd}}

or

{{subst:mfd|GroupName}}

if nominating several related pages in an umbrella nomination.

Be sure to include "subst:", not just {{mfd}}; this is easier on the servers. Please include "Nominated for deletion" or similar in the edit summary and don't mark it as a minor edit. Consider checking the "Watch this page" box to follow the page in your watchlist. This will help you to notice if your MfD tag is removed by a vandal. Save the page.

If you are nominating a userbox in userspace or similarly transcluded page, consider using {{subst:md1-inline|PageName}}.
II.
Create its MfD subpage.

  You should see a prominent link to "this page's entry" in the new article text.
Follow that link (to [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]) and enter this text:

{{subst:mfd2 | pg=PageName | text=Reason why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~

Put the page's name in place of "PageName" and include a reason after text=. Check the "Watch this page" box if you would like to follow the ongoing discussion in your watchlist. Save the page.

III.
Add a line to MfD.

  Follow   this edit link   and add a line to the top of the list:

{{subst:mfd3| pg=PageName}}

Put the page's name in place of "PageName" and include the page's name in your edit summary. Save the page.

  • 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 miscellany. For your convenience, you may add {{subst:MFDWarning|Article}} to their talk page.
  • If you are nominating a Portal, please make a note of your nomination here.
  • If nominating a page that has been nominated before, consider placing {{priorxfd|pagename}} in the discussion area to link to the previous discussions.

User:A.Z./Imagine

Personal essays of an editor indef-blocked for pedophilia advocacy and wikilawyering. Not useful in any way.

Also included -

User:C.m.jones/Wikipedia:I bid you adieu

Personal "essay", a story about why the user would rather use non-free images of living persons. User is an indef-blocked sock puppet. JohnnyMrNinja 08:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Tales of

Also nominated: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tales of.

This is another clean up effort for the Video games' inactive project clean up task force. The page nominated has been tagged as inactive since February 2008 and has no substantive edit history on either the main page or the talk page, which similarly indicates little to no interest. Should interest arise, I also believe that it would work better as a task force of WP:VG.

If someone wants to, they can recreate it in the future, but with so few edits (12 in total?, a few of which are bot edits), I see no reason to do so. Even redirecting isn't really plausible with no sizable edit history, I feel. Izno (talk) 05:37, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete — I agree, if it's not needed for anything in the project anymore. MuZemike (talk) 08:27, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Non-proposed or supported project. It doesn't even appear to be filled-out properly. Note that the editor in question still appears to be very active in "Tales of" articles, though when the project was mentioned at WT:VG (by myself) there was no other interest expressed. If, at some point, interest does arise, it can be re-created. JohnnyMrNinja 08:59, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Maybelyn02

This user is copying other articles (such as Central Nervous System) and pasting the entirety of them into the user page, categories and all included. This adds the user page to several categories in which it does not belong, and a quick glance at the user's talk page shows that this person is not receptive to any sort of advice or warnings, regardless of how many times the categories are removed from the page. Proposing deletion, and a blacklisting of the user page's name so it cannot be recreated. kaoskastle (Talk) 04:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't seem like anyone's explained anything related to the categories on their userpage. -- Ned Scott 04:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Risnangl

Wikipedia is not a social networking site. § Lights talk 18:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep it's a user talk page of a user who's just become active. Remove the chatter and leave them a note about not using the talk page for non-wikipedia chit chat. If they keep it up then we at least have a record of them doing it before, and it will be easier to real with the problem in the long run. -- Ned Scott 04:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Tristam/WikiProject Dragon Quest

Starter page for a now inactive Wikiproject (not the project page itself. Appears to confuse the bots and places itself in real categories. Hasn't been touched since 2006. If the editor wishes keep it, it should be renamed to not include "WikiProject" and not confuse the poor bots. JohnnyMrNinja 16:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom.--§ Lights talk 18:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep If a bot is editing this simply because it contains the word "WikiProject" then that is a different problem altogether. Normally I would say delete, since there really isn't anything to keep that would be of interest, but since it's in the userspace I don't see the need. -- Ned Scott 04:40, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Agreed about the bot, but there are a few confused editors on the talk page as well who confuse this for a real WikiProject. I am not opposed to a keep (should it be desired), so long as the name is changed. JohnnyMrNinja 04:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game related deletions. JohnnyMrNinja 04:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete — The user's page itself is barely used. In addition, the bots seemed to have shown that this is not in use, as well as most everything has been stripped by another bot. If someone wants to recreate this, it might be better doing it from scratch. MuZemike (talk) 08:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Linuraj

Wikipedia is not a free webhost. User has made no contributions except to create and maintain his resume on this page. Peacock (talk) 12:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NOT.--§ Lights talk 18:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete This page is a violation of WP:NOT. This is clearly being used as a webspace, and wikipedia not states that wikipeidia isn't a webspace. Also, this user probably isn't a serious editor since he hasn't made any encyclopedic contributions, so I don't see any reason to make a temporary exception to policy.--SJP Chat 18:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

User:LAAFan/Wikipedia Welcome Squad

Just a copy of the Wikipedia Welcoming Comittee. There isn't any need for this. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 12:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Note This was nominated for deletion before User:LAAFan was renamed. Look at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan/Wikipedia Welcome Squad. Thank you. -- RyRy (talk) 12:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Since I'm the creator of the page, I'm not sure my !vote will mean much, but I believe the Squad should be a keep. While the page itself needs to be renovated, I am actively trying to get new members. (Two see my welcomes, go to the talk page of the bottom four or so's talk pages). After enough members sign up, I would work on the page. When the first MFD took place, and users wanted the name to be changed, I didn't know exactly how to do that. I do now, though. If users still do want a name change, how about Welcome Cabal. Other suggestions are welcome. The squad's goal is to welcome actively, something which, again, I haven't kept track of. However, I do believe, with a little push, members can welcome actively. I have already given a barnstar to Le Grand Roi Coutrilles (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) for welcoming. Thanks for comments in advance.--LAAFan 16:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep If a user wants to take a different approach to welcoming users in their own userspace, even if it's just slightly different, and it's not being problematic, then there's no reason to delete. Sometimes this is how we get new ideas for the main project space counterparts. -- Ned Scott 04:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Mossman railway

User:Seymor1000/Mosman Central railway station and User:Seymor1000/Mosman Line are a series of pages about a railfan's fantasy railway. It would be on a personal website not affiliated with Wikipedia, having it here may confuse the less than all there members of the community. Wongm (talk) 12:15, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Fan fiction of Survivor (U.S. TV series) seasons. Wikipedia is not a web hosting service. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:48, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Blatant misuse of wikipedia. L0b0t (talk) 21:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. We're not here to host your fan fiction. Get your own website. I wouldn't be opposed to a block either - this user clearly isn't here to edit the encyclopaedia (and if they did, harmonious editing would be nigh impossible), plus there are many legal issues with fan fiction and Wikimedia probably doesn't want CBS's lawyers knocking on their door. Xenon54 21:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - blatant violation of WP:NOTHOST. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Those pages do not support any article or project at Wikipedia. -- kainaw 04:07, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete o.O -- Ned Scott 06:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a web host. - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 18:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per outcome of a similar MfD and WP:NOTHOST GaryColemanFan (talk)
  • Delete - Tiptoety talk 03:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • From WP:NOT

If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites that provide wiki hosting (free or for money). You can also install wiki software on your server. See the Wiki Science wikibook for information on doing this. Scratchpad Wiki Labs also allows personal wikis.

  • Delete trash. JuJube (talk) 12:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject VideoGames/General

Not used, not edited since 2004 MrKIA11 (talk) 14:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete What is this page? Looks like a talk page but it is in the main WP space. I have no idea what the discussion (such as it is) is even about. Sounds like an essay that got off on a false start and never actually got written. Delete as nonsense. Ham Pastrami (talk) 05:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete My opinion is the same here: just plain nonsense. --Vhoscythechatter 15:42, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Test page? Not useful. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 17:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete — No more use for it. MuZemike (talk) 19:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unused and (apparently) unuseful. --Mizu onna sango15/ 21:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete This hasn't been edited since 2004. If something isn't being used its useless, and has no value to the project.--SJP Chat 18:27, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject VideoGames/Template

Not used, not edited since creation in 2004 MrKIA11 (talk) 14:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete once again, likely forgotten. --Meldshal42 (talk to me) 23:20, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Appears to be a skeleton structure for game articles -- not sure of its intent (did the author expect this to be copy/pasted into new articles?). In practice it is not used, it is outdated, and it does not appear to have been generated through project consensus. Ham Pastrami (talk) 05:38, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Useless, abandoned. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 17:39, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete — Same as above. MuZemike (talk) 19:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Israelbeach

Abandoned LTA subpage. This vandal hasn't been active for over a year, and this page hasn't been touched for over a year either. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 21:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. May be useful in future, and does no harm as is. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. If the vandal's not active, keeping the page around isn't going to be much help to anyone. Also, deleting it helps deny recognition. —Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 21:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Denial of recognition can be achieved by blanking. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't see why the page was created in the first place. --Meldshal42 (talk to me) 23:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Deletion of project pages that you don't understand is irresponsible. I note that no one has asked or notified the page creator. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. These get deleted when the vandal remains inactive. It can always be undeleted if he shows back up. — MaggotSyn 12:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Ksvaughan2/Alteratives

Userfied copy of article deleted via AfD; has not been edited at all since it was userfied in February 2008; editor appears inactive. MastCell Talk 20:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Initially challenged PROD on what I thought was technical grounds, but as it turns out, user pages are eligible for PROD under certain limited circumstances. So yeah, my bad... SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:21, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and blank Blanking will render it useless to search engines. Sandboxes generally don't have deadlines, unless problematic in some way. -- Ned Scott 08:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to User:Ksvaughan2 so it will be there if the editor comes back later to continue work on it. Aldrich Hanssen (talk) 18:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Abandoned userfication, serves no purpose. Can always be undeleted if user comes back to life. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 20:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, allowing for future userfycation, or blank, or redirect. Doesn't matter, but don't leave deleted content where it gets trawled. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Editor inactive, serves no purpose, from former deleted article. --Meldshal42 (talk to me) 23:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Marvel

Inactive portal. First nomination (Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Marvel) was too short after the creation, but way over a year later, the portal has seen no more activity at all and is seriously outdated (e.g. the News section). I have first raised the issue at the Comics project (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics/Archive 33#Portal:Marvel), where no one seemed interested in retaining and reviving it. People looking for this portal and/or editors active on Marvel Comics should better be directed to the Portal:Comics, which has an active workgroup for Marvel Comics.

Wikipedia:Discussion Camp

An old proposed project (to 'improve discussion techniques') that never went anywhere; inactive since October 2007. The creator, User:WAS 4.250, has no interest in reviving it, and I see nothing worth keeping for historical reasons. Terraxos (talk) 00:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Zappaz/scrapbook/Controversy surrounding new religious movements and their critics

Housekeeping. This is in the user space of an editor that has not edited since January 2006 and this page has not been touched since December 2004. Justallofthem (talk) 16:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Obsolete work-in-progress page, with no further progress ever likely to be made since the user has apparently left. Terraxos (talk) 00:21, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Userfied from where? Was it once deleted? If so, delete, otherwise keep or blank. There are no time limits. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Zappaz/sandbox/List of groups refered to as cults by the media

Housekeeping. This is an old copy of an article that is now deleted, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of groups referred to as cults (6th nomination). The user has not edited since January 2006. Per guideline, user space "is not intended to indefinitely archive ... previously deleted content". Justallofthem (talk) 13:38, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Question. Wouldn't this task fall under WP:CSD#G6— Housekeeping, or better yet, WP:CSD#G4? --Mizu onna sango15/ 15:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
    • I see I'm at MFD, now (yawn, I should really wake up). :P I would say delete because the editor is inactive. --Mizu onna sango15/ 15:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. While copies of deleted articles may be kept in userspace if a user is working on them to made them Wikipedia-worthy, it doesn't look like that's happening (or will ever happen) here. Terraxos (talk) 00:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - housekeeping. PhilKnight (talk) 21:19, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Hatsuyoko

Inappropriate userpage content. Is basically an extended personal essay/social networking profile. Wikipedia is not a myspace, free webhost or a place for long essays about yourself. This is the users only contribution despite being here for a month other than attempting to post it in the mainspace, so I think it's safe to say she's unlikely to become a useful contributor. It is inappropriate to be included in mainspace, so can't be considered an article being developed. Ironholds 13:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Blank page unless it becomes a problem. -- Ned Scott 05:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - the proposed deletion route is sometimes worth considering in cases like this. PhilKnight (talk) 21:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Long term abuse/VaughanWatch

Suggesting deletion per LTA. Vandal hasn't been active for a long time now, page last edited Oct. 2007. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 03:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Keep. WP:DENY doesn't apply to the VaughanWatch abuse: VaughanWatch's motivations were to influence an election as much as possible, not general abuse of Wikipedia, not attention-seeking. And the inactivity is probably due to the fact the election passed, but other elections will come in the future. Mangojuicetalk 14:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Personal essay (it appears to be) on a "certificate of good conduct". The user was asked to remove it a couple of days ago but as of yet has not. This is the users only contribution although she (i'm assuming) has only been around for a few days. Ironholds 03:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
