- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was history merger done. This was a history merger, which is not really an AFD matter although it does require the use of the administrator deletion tool. The article is back at its location in draft space with the full edit history, with no prejudice to the decision on whether it belongs there or not. I did not even adjust "Railway Station" to "railway stations". ☺ Uncle G ( talk) 07:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

This is a little unconventional as I'm not asking for outright deletion; however, the creator of the page indicates that "This is a work in progress". I had moved Draft:List of Railway Station in the United States from article space to draftspace per WP:DRAFTIFY, since it appeared that the page was not yet ready for mainspace. That draft is basically the same as the current mainspace page; both have no citations. I also left a note for the page's author encouraging them to add citations to the page.
As I was moving the first page to draftspace, it seems the creator of the original draft edited this page again. Since the page had already been moved, they posted their edit to the actual mainspace page, effectively creating two duplicate pages. I am asking that the mainspace page be deleted only because a draft with the same content already exists, not because of any content-related concerns. The creator has indicated they're still working on the list, so it should be hosted in draftspace, not mainspace. Epicgenius ( talk) 02:57, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- @ Epicgenius: would it be better to delete the draft and move this article to the draftspace, since the creator has been editing the mainspace article? — Mhawk10 ( talk) 04:27, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
