The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
Attempts to redirect this page have been rebuffed (see talk). An attempt to subject it to AFC was reversed. There is no evident intent to move draft forward, so delete it.

Keep: seriously? Again again again, why delete? What are you trying to achieve? I'm not stupid; I get you want to delete it. You are required to make an argument for the removal. "You want it" isn't enough! --

It is not a web hosting service nor does it come close to meeting criteria 1 to 5. I have added a hatnote although its status was already completely clear.

Redirect as proposed on talk per violations of
WP:NOTWEBHOST and
WP:NOTESSAY. This article reads as an attempt to write an editorial, not as an encyclopedic article. Phrases like "The statement is actually incredibly succinct" push this into
WP:NOTESSAY territory. Redirecting the draft to the main article allows editors who navigate to this draft to contribute to mainspace. ~

Procedural Keep I saw this via WikiProject Mathematics. I see no reason to keep this as a draft; it hasn't been updated in 2 years and shows no signs of resembling a mainspace article. I support deleting on the merits, but I also support pausing any XfDs until the
WP:AN discussion is complete.

@
Power~enwiki: AN usually doesn't handle content issues. It will not result in deletion of existing drafts, so this is the proper venue to handle this. The AN is dealing exclusively with the behavioral issues. Is there a particular reason you think a pause will be helpful? ~
Rob13Talk19:46, 20 August 2017 (UTC)reply
I don't think there are behavioral issues here that need addressing; the diffs appear to mostly be understandable frustration resulting from a long-running argument. There's a clear philosophical disagreement on the nature of draft-space, and a more specific question regarding the sheer number of drafts Taku should be able to be responsible for at one time. There's no reason to have a discussion at XfD until there's consensus on at least one of those points.

First, you have not commented on the page, but on my efforts to give it 6 months for improvement (or maybe even immediate acceptance to mainspace). That is unwelcome. Since Taku absolutely rejects any time limit on improving these drafts, I'm left to conclude they either can't be improved (they are not suitable topics or no one has the technical ability to write them up) or there is no plan to improve them and they are therefore abandoned. Take your pick, both roads lead to deletion.
