The result was speedy Delete as article, restore to talk page, and remove copyright infringing text. If this had been created properly as an article it would be a very easy close: a combination of a SNOW deletion and a speedy deletion as a copyright infringement. However, the situation is more complicated than that. The page does have to be returned to the original talk page, to restore the history of that page, because there are legitimate talk page posts in the history, and they can't just be deleted. Unfortunately that still leaves the copyright problem. Ideally the copyright infringing text should be removed by revision deletion, but since that text is mixed in with the genuine talk page messages, doing that would destroy the legitimate history. Also, history-merging would result in some edits apparently jumping from the newly created version of the talk page to the version turned into an article, and vice versa. I shall move the page to a subpage of the user talk page, remove all versions which clash with the newly created talk page there, history merge the two pages, copy all genuine talk page messages in the moved version of the page to the current talk page, and revision-delete the copyright infringement.

 * Well, in the course of doing all that i discovered that an editor called "Pppery" had already copied the genuine talk page messages over from the old page to the new one. If I'd realised that at first I probably would have just deleted the article, without bothering about moving and history merging. Oh well... JBW (talk) 17:51, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Sandbox that doesn't belong in article space, and clone of above articles per nom.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:29, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Note This is actually a talk page moved to article space (albeit one mis-used)...thus there needs to be a page merge back to user's TP to maintain proper history.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 03:55, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Note Nope, there should not be a merge back to the original author's talk page, but rather a move to a user's sandbox. Firstly, because talk pages are for communication between users, not for drafting articles. Secondly, because the author is very selfish (against the WP:OWN policy) about his draft, so putting the contents to the talk page is likely going to provoke conflicts between users talking to the author and the author defending his draft against adding 'unnecessary talks' to it. A sandbox is the right place for the job (if the page is not deleted, of course). --CiaPan (talk) 15:13, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Unsourced embarrassing mess. SK2242 (talk) 01:52, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Though made in good faith, this is totally unsourced and more of a blog post-esque page than anything. ser! (let's discuss it). 03:48, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete IMO it's a CopyVio from the page linked at the bottom of the page. --CiaPan (talk) 17:59, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Note: This looks to be copied somewhat from the article linked at the bottom, for what that's worth. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  03:55, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
