Draft:Resignation of Joe Biden

[edit]
Draft:Resignation of Joe Biden (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)​

This is a poorly developed draft that was left over from an overwrite move of the draftspace to the mainspace that was subsequently reverted. The mainspace target was deleted as a cross-namespace redirect from the mainspace, while retaining the same target in the draftspace. The mainspace target was later repurposed as a redirect to withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election, which is a more comprehensive covering of the topic which already exists as an extensive mainspace article. The "resignation" title inaccurately referring to the "withdrawal" from the election. Therefore, I see the most likely course of action to speedily redirect to withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election.

  • Comment - Undecided at this time. The nominator should have left this draft alone to allow it to expire. The nominator has forgotten to tag this draft with {{MFD}}. This will never be an article, but Drafts are not checked for notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:10, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That is a fair and reasonable critique. I wasn't sure if the timeline would still be implicated in the case of a draft speedy redirect action, I found that part of the criteria to be less clearly stated than would be preferred. Since in this case the draft's expiration is still out 2 months time, it reasons that this discussion could be closed without further review in advance of the following 7-day "old business" review period, as the proper occasion to raise this same issue will be far removed from the upcoming review period for MfD discussions. It should be no trouble in raising the same discussion for when the time is ripe for review. Thank you, and I appreciate your much welcome feedback.

  • Delete as abandoned draft. Last substantive edit was 21 July 2024, more than 7 months ago and therefore over the 6 month clock in Wikipedia:OLDDRAFT. Note abandoned drafts are speediable, but since a discussion has started here, at least someone (Robert, above) has said they are undecided, and there was a non-bot edit a few months ago (in my opinion de minimis, merely someone removing some blank lines), it's best to let the discussion run here rather than speedy (since alphabet soup of conditions aside, speedy deletion is intended for wholly noncontroversial deletions only).

  • Redirect to Withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election although I'm not sure why the nominator didn't just do it instead of starting an MfD. Redirecting duplicate drafts to mainspace is not controversial. SK2242 (talk) 05:15, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Red Shogun412: please make sure the page is tagged and the creator notified when you start an XfD. SK2242 (talk) 05:22, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
