Draft:ABAKARY MAYANJA KENYI

 * – (View MfD)

Delete This is a near-duplicate of Draft:Abakary Mayanja Kenyi. There is no reason to have two near-identical duplicate drafts differing only in capitalisation. UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:40, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy redirect. WP:SRE.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:35, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:SRE as written only applies if the dupe is in the Mainspace, either as a stand-alone article or a section of a broader article. Abakary Mayanja Kenyi is not an article.UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:43, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The principle is the same. Redirect duplicates.  If redirection is not a solution, explain why not.  Don’t come to mfd to fix every small draftspace mistake like duplications. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:58, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * We also have deletion as a solution (see CSD A10 for duplicate articles). The principle is the same. If deletion is not a solution, please explain why not. I would prefer to use speedy G6 rather than MfD, but have been precluded from doing so, so here we are (and will continue to be).  UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:53, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Mainspace is more serious. Deleting duplicates by G6 would be extremely objectionable, and always was.  G6 covers many simple things, but that doesn’t mean it can be used to cover all things.  In this case, looking at the history, I see a single IP,, who was left confused after you moved their draft, from ALLCAPS to sentence case titling. The confusion is evidence that more explanation was needed. Deletion hides the problem from all others and leaves the IP confused.  It doesn’t help newcomers to delete their contributions.  Redirect the wrong title to the better title, and if the IP continues to be confused, try again. NB your page move and edit summary were good. Do not delete, WP:ATD-R applies, and bringing every duplicate to mfd would be a net negative. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:51, 29 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge, same primary author on both topics. Let author decide which verbiage to keep. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 02:07, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * We can redirect and then invite the author to merge from the history. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:28, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Draft:Abakary Mayanja Kenyi. Any editor may then merge any useful content to the target, and the redirect will serve to preserve the history for attribution, provided that WP:CWW is complied with. No good reason to delete, a redir helps non-admin users learn not to create such dupes. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 17:17, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
