Draft:2023 NBA Season

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Poorly written and incorrectly named draft--2023–24 NBA season already exists. Drmies (talk) 03:49, 13 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Redirect.
 * Remind User:Zzyzx11 to not delete draft-mainspace redirects. This case is one of the reasons.

 * Even if I did keep that redirect, or if the 2023–24 NBA season page had been initially started in the article mainspace right away without any draft beforehand, I still do not understand how the software would have still alerted/prevented the creator of that draft when "2023 NBA Season" is still different than "2023–24 NBA season" with the incorrect single year convention and the capital "S" in "Season" in the former. It's the same when I currently enter a similar "2022 NBA Season" into the WP:DRAFT wizard in an attempt to create Draft:2022 NBA Season -- there is no "There is a draft for this article" editnotice that currently pops up that either Draft:2022–23 NBA season or 2022–23 NBA season exists. In my experience, that editnotice seems to only show up if there is an exact case-sensitive match. Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:39, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry my mistake. SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem. This was also a newly registered user and there was also always the chance that they might have not seen/ignored the editnotice anyway. Thanks Zzyzx11 (talk) 11:24, 13 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment. For future reference, WP:AFCR says it would be sufficient to just decline the AFC submission as an "already existing topic" and have the page either merged/redirected or deleted normally under WP:G13. No MFD needed.Zzyzx11 (talk) 11:52, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nom, this is not needed as there is already a (better written) article for this topic. UtherSRG (talk) 12:47, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2023-24 NBA season, and a minnow to User:Drmies for an unnecessary MFD nomination. Drafts should not be nominated for deletion or deleted because of being poorly written or incorrectly named, and administrators who don't know the best practices for draft space should not review drafts, or should familiarize themselves with the best practices for draft space.

 * Robert McClenon, thanks a lot. Drmies (talk) 15:59, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and UtherSRG. Why should we keep this, when there is 2023–24 NBA season? —  Sundostund  mppria  (talk / contribs) 08:07, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and UtherSRG, we already have 2023-24 NBA season and this article is just purely redundant. --  Wesoree  ( talk · contribs ) 15:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
