 * Note: The IP has now created Draft:Mary the l of England, effectively a duplicate of this as well. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:31, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete all per, though I cannot condone the apparent trigger-happiness to delete duplicate drafts. Just wait for G13 and find other things to patrol, folks. Oppose creating an unnecessary redirect to main namespace per AngusWOOF for a duplicate article. (was ). Badly in need of copy-editing and paragraphing, I see no reason to be BITEy here and delete a potentially plausible article. Wikipedia has no deadlines and we have to be mindful not to bite the newcomers. Wait six months then speedy delete as #G13, as often reminds me. It'd be a different story if this article was an unsubmitted and unedited draft that hadn't been touched in, say, five years, then I'd be inclined to support deletion at MfD. --Doug Mehus  T · C  00:36, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect WP:SRE. Content forks are well responded to by redirecting. New users mistakes are not well responded to by deleting because that hides their contribution history from themselves. Redirection means that off site things, the author’s memory, their browser history, their bookmarks, if used, will all take the newcomer to the right page for improving the topic that is apparently their interest. Bringing every newcomers content to fork to mfd is not a good use of mfd. —SmokeyJoe (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:07, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect I was not previously aware of WP:SRE, but is absolutely right, it's "an exact match" not speedyable, and the redirects are not implausible. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:68BA:3B32:8613:8B6D (talk) 02:52, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Update I just boldly acted upon the guideline. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:68BA:3B32:8613:8B6D (talk) 02:57, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect - I disapprove of speedy redirects, but that is an eccentric view. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:56, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I disapprove of redirects to the Main: namespace from Draft: namespace, particularly since that occupies an otherwise potentially useful draft article name. If this article was created after the other article, then we should just probably delete it. Doug Mehus T · C  03:02, 27 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. Redirects should just be created in mainspace, not posted in Draft which would result in a decline with "redirect" recommendation. The redirect from draft would only apply if it actually spent a bunch of time in Draft being developed, not as a from scratch redirecting. Queen Mary is already a disambiguation page.
