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 7 disambiguation pages), Event: 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.

The result of the discussion was: speedy keep. The nominator clearly meant to open a discussion about the article (at WP:AFD), not open an MfD discussion about the talk page. Speedy keeping this—they're more than welcome to open a deletion discussion in the correct venue. —Tom Morris (talk) 13:26, 18 July 2025 (UTC) No reputable external references/sources at all.

[edit]Per WP:COPIES and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ComparePages?page1=User%3ATheFIRSTHistorian%2Fsandbox&rev1=719996038&page2=FIRST+Res-Q&rev2=719998052 Paradoctor (talk) 19:24, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Retract per Robert. Paradoctor (talk) 01:00, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to FIRST Res-Q. This is not actually a copy of a mainspace article. The mainspace article is a copy of this sandbox. Whether the mainspace article has any independent sources and so passes general notability is another question, but this MFD is about this sandbox, not the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:57, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Whoops. You're right. Should've seen that. Paradoctor (talk) 00:59, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - I have nominated the mainspace article for deletion because it has no independent sources. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:09, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
I don't want to work on it anymore. I know that this might not be an appropriate reason but... Jorge Lobo Dos Santos (talk) 12:18, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- I could, so I guess jsut keep. And I'm guessing you can't delete drafts without good reason. Jorge Lobo Dos Santos (talk) 12:20, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- You can tag is for speedy deletion G7 (author request), but I'd leave it. TruenoCity (talk) 14:04, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - As noted, you can tag your own work that you don't want to continue with G7, but drafts expire after six months, but can be worked on by other good-standing editors. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:57, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Exactly. I mean it's a draft, there's six months which will renew after each edit. If I don't want to work on it now then there's no pressure. Jorge Lobo Dos Santos (talk) 14:37, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: No problem with this draft. If the creator doesn't want to work on it, they can leave it for G13 or tag it for deletion with {{db-G7}}. If it is deleted, and another person wants to pick it up, they can ask for the contents to be undeleted and continue it. silviaASH (inquire within) 05:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Project that was recently "revived" for no reason. Single musicians almost never need a stand-alone project and even task forces would seem excessive for most cases. Gonnym (talk) 14:04, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Mark as defunct as per the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide. No need to delete when there is a procedure for marking projects as defunct. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:14, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – This is a working draft project that aims to assist in organizing the improvement of Nicki Minaj-related articles, many of which are GA-class or part of a larger topic group. Even as a user-driven or draft project, it adds significant value. Sunrise In Brooklyn ✉ 00:09, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Latin music (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)
Recently created project with no prior discussion anywhere. This can be handled directly by WP:WikiProject Women in Music. If deleted, please delete related categories and templates. Gonnym (talk) 14:02, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment- I am the original editor for this Wikiproject. It is now an in-progress draft, not an active project page, and was purposefully placed in draft mode while being created. The ultimate goal is to establish a task force under Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Music and Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin music to address a specific systemic content gap: the underrepresentation of women in Latin music genres like reggaetón, salsa, bachata, cumbia, ranchera, and others. This is distinct from the broader Women in Music project since cultural, regional, and genre-specific coverage difficulties in Latin music are not satisfactorily handled elsewhere. The wikiproject is not yet marketed or used as an official project; it is still in development. I respectfully ask that the page be retained in draft mode to enable future development and collaboration with relevant WikiProjects. I welcome feedback and debate as it develops. Sunrise In Brooklyn ✉ 20:08, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - This project, as noted by its originator, is in a draft status. I will vote Keep unless a reason is provided why it should not be discussed while in draft status. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:07, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- It really isn't a draft. Sunrise has created dozens of categories and templates which will require cleaning up after them. A draft is only a project page and a talk page. But even that comes after a proposal to see if you have a group of editors. Sticking a draft template does not make it a draft. Gonnym (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - This project does not have a project talk page. The activity of a WikiProject takes place on the project talk page. A talk page should be created with at least a project talk page header. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:09, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, undiscussed WikiProjecr created out of process. We already have WikiProject Women and WikiProject Latin music - why do we need a separate project for the intersection of these interests? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:19, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
Strong Keep – This is not a redundant or unnecessary project. While Wikipedia:WikiProject Women and Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin music exist, this project focuses specifically on the intersection of gender and genre: women in Latin music. Just as we have Women in hip hop, this WikiProject supports the improvement of content related to Latina artists, producers, composers, and contributors in a genre often dominated by men. Intersectional identities often go underrepresented in generalist projects, and this project helps correct systemic content gaps in coverage, sourcing, and notability. Sunrise In Brooklyn ✉ 12:51, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment If nothing else, I'd say this project can be converted into a taskforce for the Latin music project if this project doesn't go through. Erick (talk) 15:55, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
I am not sure if we need two different Event Sandboxes. Putting it here in case someone disagrees. Wikipedian Talk to me! or not… 10:18, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete or Speedy Delete as G2. I am not sure that we need an Event namespace, but that is not for MFD to decide. We can delete this as a test edit. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:48, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Robert McClenon as a small aside, now that any namespace can be used for creating events, there's an argument to make for moving it to Wikipedia namespace, so that existing events at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC and others can make use of the meta:Event Center/Registration ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 21:29, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and Robert McClenon. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 22:07, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete as creator. No concerns from my side. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 21:27, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Creator is fine with deletion --Lenticel (talk) 00:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
Declined WP:G11 while in user space, now in draft space. The decline is fair enough as there are a couple of neutral parts, which might save it, even though it's a blatant LLM piece. I actually think that this could be deleted for two reasons at MfD. Firstly, it's an unsourced BLP, and unsourced BLPs usually don't survive MfD. Secondly, this article is a hoax. All the claims are false. He did not win an award at 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. I can't find any evidence of a collab with Emicida nor a review in Rolling Stone nor a platinum album nor a number 3 debut in the top albums chart. In fact, I can't find any evidence of existence at all. This is either an LLM hallucination or something completely made up by the creator. Either way, I don't see any reason to retain it. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 07:03, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

Speedy delete per WP:G11 88.97.192.42 (talk) 08:27, 13 July 2025 (UTC)- Keep per Rhododendrites 88.97.192.42 (talk) 17:50, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete or Speedy Delete as U5 or G11. User is only here to advertise. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:39, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - Huh?? The entirety of the article is basically "I contributed to an article, here's how I contributed, I welcome other people's help." In what world is that promotion, or unlike anyone else's user page in this discussion? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:04, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. There's an older version, and there's missing context: in adding to the Pindi Saidpur article, he also mentioned himself. I wouldn't say the previous version -- a two-line introduction to who they are -- is G11 or U5 worthy, but in any event that version has been replaced now. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:07, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep.
- As the page is no longer self promotion I do not believe this should be deleted now. Pencilceaser123 (talk) 00:01, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep revised version is better and more collaborative in tone. --Lenticel (talk) 03:37, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

[edit]WP:NOTWEBHOST. BD2412 T 20:21, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
- Move to
Draft:Fourte!User:Gbgblade/Fourte. It appears that this is a copy of an article by the user that has been deleted under A7 in mainspace. This user is new, and I don't see any evidence as yet that they are not acting in good faith, but this user page is not the proper location for them to have this. They should have placed it in draftspace, where it could go through the appropriate AFC processes. silviaASH (inquire within) 20:39, 12 July 2025 (UTC)- It looks fifteen years old to me. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:15, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
- I see that now. I was not paying attention to the date. Yeah, move it there instead. silviaASH (inquire within) 00:22, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- It looks fifteen years old to me. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:15, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
- Move to User:Gbgblade/Fourte, and blank with {{userpage blanked}}.
- It was a reasonable draft, users should not be forced to use draftspace, and blanking is fine for old userpages. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:14, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete and don't move as irrelevant noise and an improper process circumvention attempt. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:37, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Wikipedia is not an alt history site. Would be a U5 except they have too many edits outside userspace. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:54, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - It is hard to determine whether this is a hoax or whether this is crystal balling. It is not hard to determine that this is misusing the pictures of living persons, and so is a biographies of living persons violation. Biographies of living persons policy should apply to any use of their name, image, and likeness. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:29, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- This search is a good way to find alternate history sandboxes. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 18:55, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and Robert McClenon. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 09:20, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Maybe the above comments were about a previous revision of the page. I see a sandbox where someone is playing around with infoboxes, seeing how they work. If there are policy violations, editing the page to remove them should be sufficient; I just edited the page to fix nonexistent templates, per the guideline at WP:REDNOT. Deletion seems extreme. I put stuff like this in my sandbox pages all the time. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:33, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- The current version is still inappropriate alt history IMO. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:21, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
- Blank per AaronHot123's comment on his talk page ("Would removing the content on the sandbox page be enough?"). I do see this as closer to NOTWEBHOST than to reasonable experimentation, especially since it's 90% of his edits, but I think blanking would be adequate. A talk-page note probably would have been preferable to MfD in this instance, in my opinion. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:28, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Sidewalk Clock, 783 Fifth Avenue |
---|
The result of the discussion was: No consensus to delete * Pppery * it has begun... 16:35, 18 July 2025 (UTC) This is only tangentially about notability, because drafts don't need to meet notability. The issue is the disruptive creation and recreation by Henderson's sock and ToadetteEdit. Henderson's account and socks have been globally locked and Toadette has been site banned. Epicgenius noted that this clock is unlikely to be notable, but the topic of sidewalk clocks is notable but there is no merger target in such article and Fifth_Avenue#Individual_landmarks could be an ATD along with the Sherry Netherland Article. That said, I don't think we should reward disruptive creation. If someone wants to write an article on this clocks or clocks as a whole, theyc an do that. Thoughts?

- Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Nickelodeon task force/Nicktoons task force (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)
- (Time stamp for bot to properly relist.) Left guide (talk) 22:10, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
An overly specific task force created by one participant in 2013, which has never been active since then, i.e. it never really worked as a task force. The only participant is placeholder. Solidest (talk) 18:27, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Mark Historical - This task force had limited activity on its talk page. The talk page was then blanked and redirected to the parent task force. Revert the redirection. There was no need to hide the history, and redirecting a talk page is the wrong way to delete a dead task force. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:39, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
