Bhaskar Rao drafts

 * – (View MfD)

As an adjunct to WP:Articles for deletion/Bhaskar Rao. and for much the same reasons: Non-notable police officer written by a now-blocked mercenary editor, existing only as a backup in the event the mainspace page gets deleted. Sources do not exist at this time and are unlikely to exist (String: "Bhaskar Rao"). If these pages are deleted, the Draft: space article should be salted as per precedent on Bhaskar Rao. —A little blue Bori v^_^v  Onward to 2020 20:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a really weird grey area, the drafts were created before the ban and we don't delete drafts just on notability concerns per WP:DMFD. I'm really leaning towards keep unless we see action on the drafts by someone trying to work around the indef block currently in place on the user. However, if someone can come up with a justifiable reason for deletion, I'm all ears. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The user actually submitted the Draftspace page twice, from the looks of it, after the chain-move to Bhaskar Rao.. I wouldn't ordinarily send drafts to MfD myself but Bhaskar Rao has a bit of a history of being spammed on Wikipedia, such that the unpunctuated article title is salted. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 21:31, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Putting a punctuation mark in the title of an article is a new kind of beans that we would never make a rule against, just because it is too bizarre. The use of the punctuation is gaming the naming of articles, if you want a guideline-based reason for deletion.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Draft:Bhaskar Rao is not salted, so it's bewildering as to why they felt the need to add punctuation. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 02:50, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * User:Jéské Couriano - No, but the mainspace title of Bhaskar Rao is salted, and they wanted to be able to get the draft into mainspace if the reviewer wasn't paying attention. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment to User:Sulfurboy - If you want a policy-based reason to delete, as noted, the use of the period in the title is gaming the system, and was thought out. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Robert, the WP:GAMING concerns is enough for deletion. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
