Userspace attempt to create a template for London law firm articles. Not used and not an appropriate user of usespace. Ricky81682 ( talk) 12:37, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
"[e]xcept for blatant or serious matters, it is preferable to try contacting the user before deletion". Pages like this help users create new articles based on a common content structure, which in turn helps us build a bigger, better encyclopedia. Shouldn't we encourage, rather than discourage content creation? If an article fails to meet GNG or violates policy in some way, we can deal with that on a case-by-case basis. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 16:33, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
"[o]ld copies of mainspace articles should be deleted if unused". If it is true that this material is "unused," then it looks like Wikipedia policy calls for its deletion. I have therefore struck my previous vote. However, there are two reasons why my support is weak in this case: (1) Although this may have the look and feel of a mainspace article, there is no identifiable content to relate this page to any person or organization -- there is likely to be little-to-no confusion about this being a real article about a specific law firm. (2) I think Wikipedia should allow users to keep "fill in the blank" pages like this to facilitate easy and quick content creation, though I think this is less relevant given the ability to copy text from old versions of articles (or user pages). -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 22:25, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
