Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Missing Pieces

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. 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:  redirect to User:FloridaArmy/Missing Pieces. This clearly needs to be in user space, as the overwhelming consensus points out. No, this should not be in draft space because it is not a draft; if it is a community thing, FloridaArmy needs to posts this in a community, like a WikiProject--please do not move this again, FloridaArmy.

Draft:Missing Pieces

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Not a draft, but a list by FloridaArmy "for the community" apparently. Either belongs in their userspace (where I moved it but they don't want it), in projectspace if people besides FloridaArmy see a use for it, or off-wiki if it is only for FloridaArmy. Fram (talk) 14:48, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy - This is a list of drafts submitted by User:FloridaArmy that are not in article space. Draft space is for draft articles, not for other stuff that is "for the community".  Other stuff that is "for the community" can be either in user space, which is visible to the community, or in project space, depending on whether it is mostly for one user, or mostly for the community.  This list would need a different heading, title, and legends to be useful to the community.  So move this to user space, and FloridaArmy can improve it for project space, or tag it for U1, or play with it.  Robert McClenon (talk) 16:18, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - In its current form, this list is of very little use to the community, because it includes titles that are in various states. Some of them are submitted drafts, and can be reviewed by AFC reviewers, but some of them are drafts that were declined by AFC reviewers, so are waiting for action by User:FloridaArmy.  This list belongs either in user space or in a bit bucket.  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:03, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - Insulting the community does not speed up the acceptance of drafts, but that is not relevant to where this list should live. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:03, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy: This list is useful to FloridaArmy, and should be in their user space. It is not a draft, nor could it ever be conceived of as a draft, because a draft is a piece of work on the path to being or becoming an article. It should not be deleted, because it is their record of their work, and is likely to be a To Do list 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:51, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy: Author clearly does not understand that draftspace is inappropriate for this purpose. If they resist its userfication again, then delete. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  18:21, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Would Move Protection after userfication meet your requirements, ? 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:24, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I hadn't considered that as a possibility. I suppose I'd advise that measure. However, protecting the userfied page from being moved conventionally would not stop FloridaArmy from moving the page again, as it could still be moved via cut-and-paste, and were that to occur I'd argue it should be deleted, so I think my position is still generally the same. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  18:29, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to WikiProject United States/Missing African-American history content per author's stated intentions and BD2412. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  19:42, 11 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Userfy, again. This isn't a draft that is intended as per WP:DRAFT "[to be] created and developed, for a limited period of time", but a todo list. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs  talk 19:19, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy clearly meant for userspace instead of draftspace. Partofthemachine (talk) 23:04, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I respect the consensus that this is not appropriate for draftspace. I am uncomfortaboe with having it in my draftspace because I want it to be open and a community initiative not just a personal project. Many editors have helped with these subjects. What are my option for a place in Wikipedia space for it? FloridaArmy (talk) 13:26, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It being in your userspace certainly doesn’t prevent other users from finding or using it. You could try and find a WikiProject that might host it, but considering the disparate nature of the articles there is probably no single project that would take it. Some WikiProjects have lists of missing/requested articles that you could add to, so you could try and assign the articles to relevant project pages across different projects, if they exist. -Indy beetle (talk) 14:30, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy userfy. This was clearly intended as a userspace page, and it was created in draftspace in obvious error, due to a lack of understanding how namespaces work. It was explained to FloridaArmy that a userspace page is 100% compatible with an "open and community initiative", and it would not be reasonable to object to that. —Alalch E. 15:33, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to WikiProject United States/Missing African-American history content. Maybe two or three items are outside the scope of that project, and can be dealt with some other way. BD2412  T 17:54, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * We can't just force WikiProject US to take a single person's article wishlist without consulting them. -Indy beetle (talk) 23:57, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy: It's a list of desired articles that belongs in the user's user space. In my opinion, it's up to the WikiProject if they want to incorporate this list into the project. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:46, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy - Only proper place this belongs at the moment. It's up to FloridaArmy to convince another group of editors to share in it. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy Great collection of redlinks/drafts that serve as jumping off points for research, it should not be deleted. CMD (talk) 08:45, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
