As an adjunct to
WP:Articles for deletion/Bhaskar Rao. and for much the same reasons: Non-notable police officer written by a now-blocked
mercenaryeditor, existing only as a backup in the event the mainspace page gets deleted. Sources do not exist at this time and are unlikely to exist (String: "Bhaskar Rao"). If these pages are deleted, the Draft: space article should be
salted as per precedent on
Bhaskar Rao. —

Comment This is a really weird grey area, the drafts were created before the ban and we don't delete drafts just on notability concerns per
WP:DMFD. I'm really leaning towards keep unless we see action on the drafts by someone trying to work around the indef block currently in place on the user. However, if someone can come up with a justifiable reason for deletion, I'm all ears.

The user actually
submitted the Draftspace page
twice, from the looks of it, after the chain-move to
Bhaskar Rao.. I wouldn't ordinarily send drafts to MfD myself but Bhaskar Rao has a bit of a history of being spammed on Wikipedia, such that the unpunctuated article title is salted. —

Delete - Putting a punctuation mark in the title of an article is a new kind of
beans that we would never make a rule against, just because it is too bizarre. The use of the punctuation is
gaming the naming of articles, if you want a guideline-based reason for deletion.

User:Jéské Couriano - No, but the mainspace title of
Bhaskar Rao is salted, and they wanted to be able to get the draft into mainspace if the reviewer wasn't paying attention.

Comment to
User:Sulfurboy - If you want a policy-based reason to delete, as noted, the use of the period in the title is gaming the system, and was thought out.

Delete Per Robert, the
WP:GAMING concerns is enough for deletion.
