GDevelop

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A draft article created by numerous GDevelop community members and project contributors has been worked on since May at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:GDevelop. On 7/22, someone unrelated to that group created what appears to basically be a stub article. We didn't become aware until submitting the draft for approval on 08/09/20. After talking with the reviewer at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Robert_McClenon#Proposed_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDevelop_for_deletion_so_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:GDevelop_can_be_published, we submitted a proposal for deletion so that we could then move the community article out of draft state and maintain the edit history. Unfortunately, another reviewer missed our conversation with Robert and removed the proposal for deletion, and we are now unclear on how to proceed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Soetermans#Need_to_understand_the_process_for_deleting_https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGDevelop. We would like to delete this "live" Article so we can move the draft into production. Any/all guidance is appreciated Trayal (talk) 17:18, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment This article has at least some probably reliable sources. The "article created by numerous GDevelop community members" looks like a pure fan cruft without any RS, if I would "vote" delete, I would delete that one. Pavlor (talk) 17:57, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Procedural close No deletion rationale. The goal of AFD is to determine the suitability of a topic for Wikipedia based on the notability guidelines. If this discussion were to close as Delete, it would mean the Draft is unsuitable for moving to mainspace and there would be no article at all. That's clearly not what the nom wants. This should be withdrawn and the nom needs to make a request for a histmerge. -- ferret (talk) 18:40, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Above !vote for a procedural close is in consideration of what the nom's clear intention is, which is NOT for GDevelop to be deemed non-notable. If others feel the AFD should continue on normal grounds, I'll dig deeper to make a proper keep/delete argument. -- ferret (talk) 18:42, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Hey all, thanks for the info and comments. As a clarification, we were directed to submit an AFD as part of this discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Soetermans#Need_to_understand_the_process_for_deleting_https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGDevelop . Absolutely happy to submit any other type of request. If the preference would be to merge the content and additional sources to the main article, that's absolutely fine too, we've just been following the guidance that was given from the reviewers mentioned in the original post above. Any guidance is appreciated.Trayal (talk) 02:58, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Hey all, just checking back in on this. Are we okay to proceed with moving the content from the Draft:Gdevelop article, keeping the majority of the existing live article content and references, but adding the additional details? Assuming that's acceptable, I can apply that change and this AfD can be closed out.Trayal (talk) 23:52, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , you can WP:BOLDLY change the article content. Just a warning that you might end up back here because, based on at least one review of the draft, it's not clear that this topic is notable (Wikipedia's standard for what does and doesn't get an article). However, this AfD isn't about that and you can use the merge discussion to decide what content best serves this topic. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:50, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
