"At first, this page was made for Draft:Kupiansk Offensive, which is currently being worked on by someone I know. Creating this page before the draft was finished caused a problem: when the draft is done and ready to be moved, it can't be moved because it clashes with this half-hearted page Bukansatya (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support speedy delete per the above reasons. There is already a draft at Draft:Kupiansk Offensive being worked on and nearly ready for publishing. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 21:17, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You told me to respond so uh, yeah the other one needs to be deleted. I didn't see the other draft, sorry. Bcom123 (talk) 03:51, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All good mate, mistakes happen. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 03:57, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since @Bcom123, the articles creator and sole editor (minus the deletion discussion tag being added), has responded in favour of this articles deletion and admitted it’s creation was unintentional, Wikipedia:G7 for speedy deletion is now applicable, meaning this discussion should close as early as possible with a speedy deletion. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 04:48, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I already talked to one of the mods, and they said that to meet the G7 criteria, the Page Creator @Bcom123 needs to add the {{Db-g7}} template to the main page themselves. Bukansatya (talk) 11:31, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the interest of clarity: I am neither a "mod" (there are no "moderators" on Wikipedia) nor an administrator (our closest equivalent to the concept); I can give advice on what (if any) speedy tag to use but cannot act on any such nomination. (I think I only got roped into this due to my deletion sorting, and have no opinion or comment that has not already been said in some form.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 18:52, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I accidentally dragged you into this Bukansatya (talk) 07:10, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do I add the template? I don't want to mess anything up. 2600:4040:5014:7F00:D495:183E:523D:B7F8 (talk) 01:35, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming you’re @Bcom123, you need to first log into your account, edit the main page Kupiansk Offensive, and at the top of the page, above everything else, type Db-g7 in between these double brackets {{}} as seen in Bukansatya’s reply and publish the edit.

ok Bcom123 (talk) 15:43, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for talking to that moderator, I think it worked. Bcom123 (talk) 15:44, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unsourced fork. Bearian (talk) 04:26, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted the page under G7 since it was tagged as such but for the record, a page already existing at the target location of a draft is not usually a reason to AfD. That said, if the creator of the mainspace page doesn't object, I suppose it's fine. Giraffer (talk) 16:31, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
