User:Quiddity/List of imaginary soundtracks
This article has an interesting convoluted history. Its been moved around a lot. Its been deleted before. It's now quite stale. There are no references and no verification. It is almost a hoax by definition. I say put it out of its misery and stop wasting time on it. Legacypac ( talk) 20:41, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. No longer intended by anyone to be its own article, it is nevertheless interesting, not miserable, and of potential for other purposes, other articles, an article of different scope. Reasonable userspace use. I know Quiddity well enough to know that he will only use it responsibly. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 22:43, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. While I was initially incredulous upon looking at the name, this list is actually useful. If you look at the articles contained within it, they all have been noted by the artists as being intended as soundtracks for movies not yet made (or some similar philosophical statement). While the title makes it sound ridiculous, this is actually a fairly useful compilation of articles on an interesting (though niche) topic. At the very least, it can act as a pseudo-watchlist for those interested in such articles, which is a reasonable use of userspace. At the most, maybe it will even develop into something worthwhile. As a side note, these sorts of interesting topics are what keep me coming back to Wikipedia! ~ Rob Talk 04:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - It looks like this came up because you're helping to clean out Category:Monthly clean up category (Userspace drafts) counter (good stuff!). Would it help if we just removed the {{ userspace draft}} from it, to de-categorize? I don't plan to work on this anytime soon, but would like to keep the content. (as Rob writes, it could potentially develop into something worthwhile, if more sources are ever found/written). Thanks. Quiddity ( talk) 18:20, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yes I found it in that category. Normally I'd leave something in the userspace of an active user, but in this case because it's been bounced around and has such a strange topic. If it can be taken out of the category and someone finds it useful, its fine. Legacypac ( talk) 18:33, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
