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
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: and the various Talk: namespaces
- Userboxes (regardless of namespace)
- Pages in the File namespace that have a local description page but no local file (if there is a local file, Wikipedia:Files for discussion is the right venue)
- 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.

Template:User Generation Alpha[edit]
Our article defines the oldest members of Gen Alpha as having been born in 2010 (or arguably later). Given our Oversight policy against such age disclosures, this userbox should not exist as it just invites people to disclose information about themselves they shouldn't. When the older range of gen Alpha matures into being of an age where self disclosure is not seen as so harmful this teimplate could obviously be re-created. Barkeep49 (talk) 18:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Back when I made the article a few years, I never considered this, a huge oversight on my part. I guess I was eager to contribute something to this site, however short-sighted I was. I suppose it is too early for the infobox to exist. I am ok with whatever outcome comes of this discussion. -Shift674-🌀 contribs 21:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Template:User access level changes[edit]
Single-page content with no template parameters. Copy into that page for ease of maintenance, then delete this template. [Note: It looks like this was put in MFD by Twinkle automatically instead of TFD. It's fine to discuss it here, since it's really page content for the Wikipedia space, not a real template.] – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Keep pending an explanation that I understand of why it should be deleted. If the issue is that it has no template parameters and is not used as a template, why not Move it to Wikipedia space, which will preserve history? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Move to Wikipedia:User access levels/User access level changes and let it be transcluded on the primary page. This could just as easily have been a talk page discussion or even a unilateral move, and no one would have cared. Primefac (talk) 18:08, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
User:Samrajaugustin[edit]
Copy of WP:PAGEHIST. Flounder fillet (talk) 03:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - This is a stupid copy with all of the formatting, which is less stupid than the usual stupid copy, but still stupid. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - I have written an essay, WP:Stupid copies, because these keep being found and nominated for deletion. Other editors are welcome to cite the essay, which summarizes the policy reasons why the stupid copies are stupid, and to expand the essay if that is thought appropriate.

User:Abhishektamta[edit]
Copy of Hacker. Flounder fillet (talk) 03:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Dzelo[edit]
Clearly not of encyclopedic value. Article for Cyrillic letter dzelo already exists, draft filled with gibberish and random references. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 05:03, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This draft would have been deleted via WP:G13 in 2 weeks had you not nominated it. Curbon7 (talk) 21:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Sols rng[edit]
Attempted creation of a Roblox Wikipedia/game guide within actual Wikipedia. Zinnober9 (talk) 13:15, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Not of help to building an encyclopedia. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 05:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. As a ROBLOX player myself, I have high suspicion that this game will never, ever, become notable by Wikipedia's standards, which applies to nearly every roblox game out there. This is just a copy of fandom's Sol's RNG wiki home page. mwwv converse∫edits 18:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Love Mocktail 2 (2024)[edit]
This draft is a modified copy of Love Mocktail 2 except it is for the Telugu language release of the film. I've repaired the attribution but there is no need for a separate article on a different language release. Normally, I would redirect the draft to to the main space article but feel that the disambiguated title is actively misleading as this is a film that was released originally in 2022. Whpq (talk) 13:36, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Love Mocktail 2. The incorrect date in the title in a draft is not worth worrying about. If someone wants to change it, RFD is thataway. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Neklyudov, Sergei Yuryevich[edit]
Abandoned draft of a banned user - Altenmann >talk 09:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Neutral at this time, pending an explanation from a bona fide editor of either the harm done by it or the value of it- This page only exists because of users diddling with it, rather than allowing it to be abandoned as a draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 08:27, 27 June 2024 (UTC)- Nobody is "diddling" with it since November 7, 2023, i.e., it is abandoned. The user simply copied the text from Lower mythology, i.e., there is nothing of he bio. And in fact I wrote up a valid article Sergey Neklyudov - Altenmann >talk 16:11, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy redirect to Sergey Neklyudov per WP:SRE. Since the draft was not created in violation of the block (tangent: user is not banned) WP:BANREVERT does not apply. Nickps (talk) 14:02, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry about confusion: I was confused with terminology "indef block" vs "ban" - Altenmann >talk 17:21, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Sergey Neklyudov - Drafts are not deleted because of the existence of an article, but are redirected to the article. The blanking of the page and the incorrect nomination for speedy deletion on 31 December were diddling. If the draft had been left alone, it would have gone away in May. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:47, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect per above. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 05:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

The page is in breach of WP:NOTWEBHOST. The user is clearly using Wikipedia to host their dissertation for self-promotion purposes. When challenged on this at ANI their response here is that it is what to share their professional background with other editors. Having 166kb of the entirety of their dissertation goes well beyond that. DeCausa (talk) 22:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
