RfC on draftifying a subset of mass-created Cricketer microstubs
Should the following biographical microstubs, which were mass-created by Lugnuts and cover cricketers, be moved out of article space? 10:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Details
Selection criteria: Generated using a Quarry query, these 1,200 articles are a subset of the articles that meet the following criteria:
 * 1) Articles are created by Lugnuts
 * 2) Articles are on cricketers
 * 3) Articles are smaller than 2,500 bytes
 * 4) Referenced only to CricketArchive or ESPNcricinfo
 * 5) No significant contributions from editors other than Lugnuts

If this proposal is successful: All articles on the list will be draftified, subject to the provisions below:
 * 1) Draftified articles will be autodeleted after 5 years (instead of the usual 6 months)
 * 2) Any editor may userfy any draft (which will prevent autodeletion)
 * 3) Any WikiProject may move a draft to their WikiProject space (which will also prevent autodeletion)
 * 4) Any draft (whether in draftspace, userspace, or WikiProject space) can be returned to mainspace when it contains sources that plausibly meet WP:GNG
 * 5) Editors may return drafts to mainspace for the sole purpose of redirecting/merging them to an appropriate article, if they believe that doing so is in the best interest of the encyclopedia

Background
In the 2022 Deletion ArbCom case, ArbCom found (Finding #6) that User:Lugnuts had created over 93,000 articles, "the most articles of any editor ... Most of these were stubs, and relatively few have been expanded to longer articles", which led to sanctions from the community and to Lugnuts being indefinitely sitebanned by Arbcom.

Arbcom also mandated an RfC on mass deletion. A mass creation RfC took place but the mass deletion RfC did not, and the RFC mandate was rescinded, leaving the question of how to handle mass-created microstubs such as these unresolved. In March a proposal was made to draftify approximately 1000 articles on Olympians as a possible resolution to this. The proposal was successful and this proposal continues that process.
