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
What may be nominated for deletion here:
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.

While Ambasing is a real place, this page is mostly vandalism. The demographics section appears to be real, but is taken entirely from another page (I can't post a link to it because of the spam blacklist), word-for-word. Tymewalk ( talk) 05:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per WP:CSD#U5. ✗ plicit 11:37, 14 July 2024 (UTC) User:DbdoblarUser's only two edits, fourteen years ago, were to throw this typo-strewn set of "bylaws" on their user page. WP:NOTWEBHOST, at best. BD2412 T 14:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

The content of this page was merged here in 2007 after an AfD was closed with disposition to merge the content into Khaled Mashal (mentioned on the talk page here). Unless it was later removed (I haven't checked super thoroughly), that doesn't seem to have ever actually happened. But especially looking at this 17 years later, I'm not sure there's anything worth merging in here. The arguments for this were basically already made in the AfD. And if no one's actually ever going to merge this content, this page has no reason to exist. Kinsio ( talk ★ contribs ★ rights) 19:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Unattributed copy of Ahmed Sofa. Created over three years ago with no attempt to work on the content. ✗ plicit 11:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Appears to be a semi-complete and search-engine indexed version of a page that was recently deleted through MfD, which can be found at Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Drbogdan/BogdanDennis-PhD-Dissertation-1973-TEXT, from a user who has been CBANed for promotional content.

Unclear if promo aside, page contains admission of a serious crime committed by its author. Fermiboson ( talk) 22:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
This was nominated at the wrong venue (TFD). This is a procedural nomination on my part and I express no opinion on the merits. The original nominating statement is:

Wikipedia:WikiProject Colonialism was redirected and is no longer a project or task force. Gonnym ( talk) 09:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Everything below this point is old business; the 7-day review period that began 05:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC) ended today on 15 July 2024. Editors may continue to add comments until the discussion is closed but they should keep in mind that the discussion below this marker may be closed at any time without further notice. Discussions that have already been closed will be removed from the page automatically by Legobot and need no further action. |
This is in clear violation of Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tropical_cyclones/Archive_43#RFC:_ACE_Calcs; this is nothing but an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of info if it's not going to be used in the article. Also WP:NOTDATABASE, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Jasper Deng (talk) 22:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Although there is some dispute as to how this should be done, it appears that the consensus is to use the figures from a trusted source. However, our ACE calculations can also be used as placeholders in lieu of more reliable figures.
Created out of an AFC script which I have no idea why. It doesn't seem to align with WP:RPURPOSE than its mainspace rdr counterpart which does the job anyway. Redundant redirect that must go! Intrisit ( talk) 13:48, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
