Wikipedia:Featured article review/archive/September 2015 ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Seems unlikely to be useful - a project archive for a month when nothing was archived. Newer instances of this occurring at Wikipedia:Featured article review/archive just have no link to a monthly archive page if nothing was archived, which seems to be the most effective way to go about this.

Delete. Has nothing at all. – Mario Mario 456 17:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
Delete, yep, this works. The only place it has an effect is at WP:FAS, and all it does there is turn the zero red, which is fine. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 19:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
Delete as empty, no reason to keep this around. — csc -1 20:40, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
Comment from page creator: I'm fine with deleting the page. When I first got the deletion discussion notice, I didn't even remember why I created it in the first place. I did a little digging and found out that I created it to get rid of a red link when I was updating the featured article statistics page in October 2015 (see [1]).

The red links will be a bit wonky in a way that works. Some of the zero entries for the demoted column at WP:FAS are blue, because kept and delisted are both stored in the same file, so blue-linked 0s mean there was at least one Keep but no Delists, while red-linked 0s indicate no FAR activity at all for that month ... and I think that’s a good distinction to know.

Hog Farm did you check whether there are any others that are completely empty (that is, no FAR activity at all, as opposed to a 0 that represents no Delisted)? SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 22:04, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
Also got Wikipedia:Featured article review/archive/September 2014 and Wikipedia:Featured article review/archive/July 2013 that are completely blank. September in mid 2010s must have been a bad month for FAR. Hog Farm Talk 22:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
Then, Delete all three; @ Arccosecant, AmericanLemming, and MarioMario456: for a new look. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 22:23, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
Delete: They're empty pages that don't serve any useful purpose. AmericanLemming ( talk) 22:29, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
To the closing admin, I was the creator of the last two, as I routinely set the page up at the beginning of the month; those pages were never used, so I can also just put a db-author on them. In fact, will do that now. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 22:37, 30 March 2021 (UTC) reply
