Draft:Cody Brundage

Page should be delete because artical of draft page already exist:Cody Brundage DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 19:36, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I declined an A10 speedy deletion request on this because it is not an article. However, I also declined an A10 request by the nominator on another draft copy of a different article made by the same editor, which was more obviously a case where the draft was written earlier and then copied and pasted to mainspace by someone else. I merged that draft with the article to repair attribution, and that draft was deleted in the process. This draft is a copy of an article that was soft-deleted at AfD, and I didn't realize until looking at it again just now that the current article is also a copy-and-paste of this draft, and attribution will need to be repaired. Therefore,
 * Note to closer: if this discussion closes with consensus to delete, please ping me and do not delete the page. I will history-merge it, or if you know how then feel free to do it yourself, but note that contribs from the formerly deleted article probably also need to be history merged, so this is a bit more complicated than usual. If it closes with some other result then please ping me anyway and we'll figure out what needs to be done. Thanks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, with respect to this draft on its own merits. Draftspace is not for preserving "backup copies" of articles that have already been written. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * do not delete. The nom’s “already” is misleading.  The draft came first.  This is a standard WP:SRE speedy redirect.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftspace is not for preserving "backup copies" of articles no matter if it came first read what was said above smh.. DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 22:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy Redirect to Cody Brundage as per User:SmokeyJoe. It doesn't matter which came first.  User:Ivanvector is right that draft space is not for preserving backup copies of articles, but it is a space for redirects to articles.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:30, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Cody Brundage per above. CastJared (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect per WP:SRE.—Alalch E. 15:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per those above. Where content is developed in draft space and then copies and pasted to mainspace, the GFDL prohibits deletion of the original article history. BD2412  T 23:02, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
