Draft:NBA Playoff Predictions 2020-2021

Clearly unencyclopedic content. scope_creep^Talk 13:51, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is someone's personal opinion piece, not an article. JIP | Talk 14:26, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. All opinion, no sources, it's just a blog. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 17:37, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTBLOG. There's some base description of the playoffs, but beyond that it's an opinion piece and nothing more. If it were titled Draft:2021 NBA playoffs instead, without all the opinion and cleaning up the non-opinion portions, it would be ok as a draft. We do have 2020 NBA playoffs, so having 2021 NBA playoffs (currently a redirect) would be fine, given that the 2020 playoffs are now concluded. But, this draft isn't it. @Warriors259: I know you're a new editor, but don't be dismayed. Look at the 2020 article and think about creating Draft:2021 NBA playoffs instead. See the "Welcome!" section on your talk page for some helpful links. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:46, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and create a CSD G15 category for blatantly unencyclopedic content. Squeeps10 ^{Talk to me}_{please ping me} 20:51, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete now that we are here, but unsubmitted drafts like this are the reason for draftspace. If every silly drive by draft, unsubmitted even, has to come to mfd, it would swamp mfd. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:36, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In fairness, there are some ideas that could never get off the ground no matter what. This is one of those times. It might be worth creating a speedy deletion criterion for drafts such as these that have content that will never be accepted under any circumstances. It would likely be tagged on sight by someone reviewing the AFC request. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 18:01, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As this is a personal opinion piece and pure speculation instead of an actual article, there is no way this draft would ever get accepted. JIP | Talk 11:37, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and we do not need a CSD category, because this sort of stuff is infrequent enough that it can come here. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think WP:SNOWBALL applies. A CSD criterion, whether one suitable for a case such as this exists or not, would help us avoid having to waste time discussing it over tea in MFD. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 05:50, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is not a draft the same as this sentence is not a draft. Having the word Draft in it, doesn't make it, a draft. It is personnel essay and is unencyclopedic. scope_creep^Talk 12:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
