Draft:Dan "Willam" Whitman

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Seems to be some kind of vanity article about an employee named Dan. No real content. Among Us for POTUS (talk) 01:59, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Please see WP:NMFD—drafts are not subject to mainspace's usual content standards, and because of WP:G13, there is typically no need to send them to MFD unless there is some extraordinary reason (perhaps if it is repeatedly resubmitted to circumvent WP:G13 and there is no chance of improvement to mainspace). Mz7 (talk) 02:25, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * For this to be improved and become an article, Dan here would have to get press attention for something (very unlikely for being the best employee), and then the article would need to be re-written. Is it really worth having this kind of thing in the review queue, when there is good writing in the draft namespace that needs to be approved and moved to mainspace? Among Us for POTUS (talk) 04:01, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The problem I see is actually with overflowing WP:MFD and making sure we are not wasting the time of the community members who work here. I do want to discourage future nominations like this. We get tons of drafts about topics every day that are likely never going to be moved into mainspace, but because of the existence of G13, it is simply not necessary for us to nominate them for discussion at MFD. I do agree with you that nothing will probably come of this draft, but instead of nominating it to MFD and requiring volunteers to spend time reviewing the discussions, the superior alternative is to simply do nothing and let the regular automated draft-cleanup process deal with it. Since the entire draftspace is no-indexed, there is no harm in keeping drafts like this around temporarily. Mz7 (talk) 08:49, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. While there is no doubt in my mind that Dan is the worlds greatest employee, there is no chance this will become an article. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:42, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Ignore: Leave to WP:G13 per WP:NDRAFT. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  15:49, 10 December 2022 (UTC) Delete as a possible attack page and unsourced BLP per Newyorkbrad and ONUnicorn. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  20:53, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as a pure vanity article. —  Sundostund  mppria  (talk / contribs) 12:35, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Ignore and leave for G13. Pawnkingthree (talk) 02:23, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Ignore: Leave for G13. Remember drafts are not checked for notability so that means WP:N and WP:V doesn’t apply to draftspace. I change my vote to Delete. As pointed out below, it could be an attack draft due to the WikiProject tag in the article. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 13:36, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. My instinct is that the content is intended mockingly or sarcastically and that this is in the nature of an attack page. Newyorkbrad (talk) 08:10, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, but there's no evidence that this is the case. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  09:01, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete The Wikiproject tag on Draft talk:Dan "Willam" Whitman would add support to Newyorkbrad's assertion that this is an attack page. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 19:52, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I see. In that case, I'll be changing my vote. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  20:53, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - WP:NDRAFT is and essay, whereas WP:BLP is policy. Given the very odd Wikiproject tagging noted by Newyorkbrad, we should err on the side of caution and delete.  -- Whpq (talk) 15:06, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:NDRAFT is an essay on a policy. <b style="background:#f5b836;color:#d12b1f;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Pizzaplayer219</b>Talk<sub title="C" style="margin-left:-22q;">Contribs 15:17, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
