This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.

This category lists talk pages of deleted or non-existent pages that are in some way useful to the project and therefore should not be deleted per speedy deletion criterion G8. In particular, automated deletion tools should consider the presence of a talk page in this category as an indication that it should not be deleted even if orphaned.

This category is populated by the {{ G8-exempt}} template and by other templates transcluding it. Please do not add pages to this category directly. All pages in the " User talk" namespace are automatically considered exempt from criterion G8, and should not generally need to be listed here (although doing so shouldn't cause any harm either).

Sorted by type:

• A: Article talk pages
• C: Category talk pages
• D: Draft talk pages
• F: File talk pages
• M: MediaWiki talk pages.
• N: Non-talk pages or non-orphaned talk pages: please remove the {{ G8-exempt}} template from these pages
• T: Template talk pages
• U: User talk pages
• W: Wikipedia talk pages
