Draft:Ross Matthews


May 2014 unsourced draft for a BLP. Article already created at Ross Matthews (footballer). Ricky81682 (talk) 11:21, 7 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as not needed and not useful. Need to clear stale draft backlog. Legacypac (talk) 18:43, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Is "He is a massive hearts Fan and captained hearts at 3 different age groups before being released at under 17's. He went for a trial at Falkirk after being released, however was rejected and then signed for raith rovers" the BLP issue that requires deletion? Possibly. However, if you had just redirected, no one would have ever had reason to look at it again.  By nominating "BLP" you create a "Streisand effect".  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:02, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as unlikely needed. SwisterTwister   talk  06:19, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Stale and duplicated at Ross Matthews (footballer). Chrisw80 (talk) 04:45, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ross Matthews (footballer). North America1000 18:32, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect per User:Northamerica1000. This is the standard way of dealing with duplications. No reason to delete. 103.6.159.92 (talk) 13:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to mainspace article. This is the standard way to deal with a duplication in userspace. Please read the instructions at the top of the "Miscellany for deletion" page (the page you are looking at now): "Note that we do not delete user subpages merely to "clean up" userspace. Please only nominate pages that are problematic under our guidelines." And under WP:STALE, stale drafts should only be deleted if "problematic even if blanked," which is not true here.Fagles (talk) 13:38, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
