Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was:  speedily redirected. WP:SRE. Histmerge was requested at some point. The tag was removed. This was not contested. (In theory) it can be requested again even if the page is redirected as an outcome of this MfD. There is nothing to preclude speedy redirection.

Draft:2024 New Jersey earthquake

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

This was (imo) erroneously declined, then someone created an new at 2024 Lebanon, New Jersey earthquake instead of revising the draft. The relevant information was eventually copy+paste moved to that article. Which is being proposed to being moved to the name of this draft. Regardless, the draft isn't needed anymore.

 * Deletion is not the correct action. —Alalch E. 16:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep: If content was copied into the main space from this page, the history needs to be preserved per WP:ATTREQ. It should be redirected to the main space article if the requested history merge is not carried out. - 2pou (talk) 17:28, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It was less content and more infobox parameters. Even being my edits to the draft page, I dont think there's enough originality there to warrant needing to keep the history. Q  T C 17:33, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment - when it was declined it was one short sentence with one reference that also factually disagreed (4.8 vs 4.7) so not enough to show this was notable. Although I knew there was a good chance it would rapidly become notable because it was New Jersey, it was not notable as presented. Even when the new copy was created and had three sources it was still tagged for notability. Unfortunately this is the way of things: drafts have to show notability to be accepted, but main-space articles get at least an hour before risking deletion, so in these rush to create breaking news articles those that can create in main-space 'win'. If a hist-merge is not warranted then don't these normally just get changed to a redirect to the article rather than delete? KylieTastic (talk) 20:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Speedy Redirect - Some editors in good faith think that drafts should be deleted when articles exist. Drafts should be redirected to articles.  Robert McClenon (talk) 01:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment - Twinkle has several advantages, and its use should be and is encouraged, but one of its disadvantages is that users don't read a header telling them when not to tag a page. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
