Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Microsoft Spyware


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Procedural close:  There was already an active discussion on Talk:Microsoft Spyware and as a result of that ongoing discussion, an active expansion-draft being written at Talk:Microsoft_Spyware/expansion. To nominate the main article for deletion without explicitly acknowledging the ongoing discussion and without also including the draft "expansion" article is poor form. I'm going to take off my "non-admin closure" hat and put on my "experienced editor" hat and recommend that no further attempts to delete this be done without further discussion on the article talk page. I'm putting my "non-admin closure" had to say that any future AFD of the article should also explicitly include the "draft expansion" sub-page, assuming that page still exists at the time. Since Talk-sub-page drafts fall under WP:MFD and articles fall under WP:AFD, the best way to handle it would be to list both at AFD as a joint nomination, then create a "placeholder" MFD that points back to the AFD. The placeholder is for the benefit of editors who patrol MFDs but not AFDs. As this is a non-admin closure, if you disagree, feel free to ask any admin to overturn my decision and reopen the discussion. I will trust his judgment.
