Draft:1972 Marlboro Gran Premio Republica Italiana

 * – (View MfD)

Draft for an article which already exists, 1972 Italian Republic Grand Prix. I only just now created the redirect 1972 Marlboro Gran Premio Republica Italiana as the official name. A7V2 (talk) 07:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm not hugely familiar with policy or convention regarding this but in case you didn't notice (I'm not saying you didn't though, maybe it's not relevant?), the draft was only created in 2020, but the article in 2013. A7V2 (talk) 22:16, 14 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment - There is no harm in redirecting the draft to the article. It will not, for instance, cause a plague of frogs.  Robert McClenon (talk) 22:51, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect WP:SRE this new draft, accidental content fork, to the seven-year-old article. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:50, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Robert McClenon and SmokeyJoe, I wasn't familiar with this. For what it's worth I support this. A7V2 (talk) 00:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, A7V2. Finding new user's content forks as new drafts is a valuable thing to do, and I think a prompt redirecting to the article already covering it is a very good idea.  Check to see whether there is material obviously worth merging.  Usually, there isn't anything substantially newer or better than already in the article, but it would be excellent to entice the new editor into reading the article, which they obviously missed, and to boldly edit that article.
 * Deletion, on the other hand, unwelcomes the newcomer, makes it very hard for them to pick up on what happened, and discourages their continued editing. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
