Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/300 pageant drafts in userspace

User:Mauriziok/Miss Earth (and 300 other pageant articles copied to userspace)

...

User Mauriziok has copied ~~over 300 pageant articles~~ over 650 pageant articles or templates, and related biographies to their userspace in apparent contravention of the WP:User page policy. They did not respond to my inquiry placed January last year nor another placed in August, although actively editing frequently since then. This is at least a problem for attribution, and makes one wonder if this is a hedge against deletion or something, looking at their talkpage a lot of stuff they created is now redlinks.

The copied articles are so extensive, it is difficult to pare them down, but here's a sampling of userspace subpages:

"Mauriziok/Miss" → over 200 pages
"Mauriziok/List of Miss" → over 36 pages
"Mauriziok/Mister" → over 100 pages
"Mauriziok/List of Mister" → over 36 pages
"Mauriziok/Manhunt" → over 20 pages
"Mauriziok/Template" → over 60 beauty pageant templates

Unfortunately there are extensive biographies copied as well, so it's harder to just give a good search link for them. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:17, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I isolated about 215 biographies in an enumerated list here. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:28, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See also User talk:Mauriziok#Userspace content forks, where user was told those would be deleted and promised not to do it again.

Comment - ~~I am not voting at this time because I am still spot-checking the nominations, but will almost certainly vote Delete All within a few days.~~ The biographies appear to be (not surprisingly) of pageant winners. This is both a content issue and a conduct issue, although MFD is a content forum. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:25, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Currently, I am working on several editions of Venezuelan pageants: Miss Venezuela, Miss & Mister Turismo Venezuela, Señorita & Mister Deporte Venezuela, Mister Universo Venezuela, Caballero Venezuela, Mister Handsome Venezuela, which requires a lot of time to organize... However, I can start eliminating the drafts of the Mister Venezuela, Miss World Venezuela and Miss Earth Venezuela editions, that I have already finished editing and the international contest, but don't erase the rest cuz i'm editing those. --Mauriziok (talk) 20:29, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - For example, I have blaked these two drafts (User:Mauriziok/Men's minor international pageants, User:Mauriziok/Men's international pageant social networks), but I don't how it is the procedure to delete them definitely... --Mauriziok (talk) 21:35, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mauriziok On 1 June 2021 you created a copy of Miss World 1985 as it existed then (Special:PermanentLink/1023043232) — User:Mauriziok/Miss World 1985 (ComparePages). Why did you do this? —Alalch E. 22:07, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I thought I could reference them better. I'm going to go through all those drafts, to gradually blanking them. I'll just keep the ones I'm working on. In a week, I might be able to whiten the drafts I'm no longer using. Give me a little time please. Mauriziok (talk) 23:01, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:Mauriziok - Why should the community give you a little time, when you were asked about the pages nine months ago? Robert McClenon (talk) 02:51, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I thought I could handle all the draft issues. However, I had a lot of time away from the projects and couldn't complete them. Anyway, so far, I've already blanked out around 40 drafts and I'm still doing so. Maybe in less time, I'll be able to delete all the ones I'm no longer working on.

Delete All - I have seen enough of these copies of articles in user space to agree with the nominator that they should be deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:33, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not all the drafts should be removed. I'm voluntarily removing all inactive drafts, as well as templates and bios. Mauriziok (talk) 13:53, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
