The result of the discussion was:  keep. First MfD close (usually toy around RfD), but consensus is clear that drafts are not checked for notability or sanity and it's best we just let G13 do its thing. (non-admin closure) { {ping&#124; ClydeFranklin }} (t/c) 04:15, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Untitled Nova film

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

No Nova film is in development. As currently known, it will be a Disney+ television series project, and the draft for that has already been created at Draft:Untitled Nova series. This is thus inaccurate and should be deleted. Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:26, 17 February 2023 (UTC) Keep as a matter of principle (per WP:NDRAFT); I don't favor redirecting because it's nonsensical. —Alalch E. 09:44, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Draft:Untitled Nova series: We don't need to delete this draft, and drafts don't need to be accurate to be retained, but eliminating redundancy and aiding collaboration by redirecting seems like an ideal choice. silvia  (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  04:39, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete or let G'13 per nom. This is not needed as it is 1) not correct, and 2) redirects are cheap, and we don't need every random draft that someone makes to be retained as a redirect. I would think letting G'13 pass would suffice, as well. Trailblazer101 (talk) 08:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. If this is redirected now, when the series is released under whatever name, and the good draft is moved to mainspace, there will be a redirect to "[series title]" from "Untitled Nova film". Neither is it untitled nor a film, and no one would benefit from such a redirect. The most economical thing to do is to delete now and forget.
 * Keep per WP:NDRAFT. As a matter of deletion policy, this is busywork, contradicting the purpose of draftspace in keeping random unready or unsuitable stuff out of the way. As a matter of improving Wikipedia or just being helpful, see Be bold and consider redirection.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:00, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Such a redirect could be nominated at RfD which would result in deletion, potentially creating more busywork relative to this MfD; now that we're aware of it might as well preclude the possibility. —Alalch E. 14:08, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirects are cheap. Draftspace is cheap. Worrying about nonsense in draftspace is counterproductive.  Nominations to XfD of any nonsense in draftspace is equally busywork. SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:54, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. —Alalch E. 22:59, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NDRAFT. If this is not tendentiously resubmitted, then leave it alone. We don't check drafts for accuracy; for all we know, somebody could still be working on amending the details. --⛵ WaltClipper - (talk)  16:20, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It's a duplicate draft under an almost nonsensical title, that was the hold-up for me. Another draft about this subject (a series, not a film) is the one that is actively being worked on: Draft:Untitled Nova series —Alalch E. 19:57, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - Do the New Page Patrol volunteers, who are normally performing the front-line service for Wikipedia of keeping crud out of article space, need instruction as to how draft space differs from article space? These nominations about drafts that have notability problems are being made in good faith, but are likely to do actual harm by deterring the proper use of draft space.  Robert McClenon (talk) 13:21, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * What does this nomination have to do with new page patrollers? InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - This was not New Page Patrol, but appears to have been ragpicking in draft space. This draft would have expired in two months, and now will stay for six.  Why are we inspecting draft space and looking for questionable drafts?  Robert McClenon (talk) 13:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * In searching for the Untitled series draft (the proper one for this content) to add some recent updates to it, this draft title came up in the search option, which alerted me to its existence. It wasn't sought out otherwise. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:57, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe it's best to let the G'13 process run its course for these nonsensical drafts, as prior MfDs have shown they hardly pass. In the end, they'll be gone by natural functions, so long no one else bothers editing it and focuses on the drafts that do serve a purpose for the future. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:13, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Favre, that sounds like a potential reason to merge and redirect one draft to another, but not a reason for a formal MfD discussion. Save MfD for serious matters, where there is a compelling reason to delete. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep – I routinely monitor new MCU drafts that pop up, so I've been aware of this draft's existence for a while. But, drafts are not checked for notability or sanity, which is why I left it alone and why it should be left alone. We've been through this before several times at MfD. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per SmokeyJoe, WaltCip, and InfiniteNexus. No opinion if someone redirects it to another draft; on the one hand that could be disruptive if it would turn into one editor crapping over another's efforts; on the other hand, if it centralizes effort in one better place then it's for the best. But that's not an MFD issue. Martinp (talk) 18:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Let G'13 do the work, as we've seen MfDs for these drafts don't favor deletion, ex Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Untitled Jimmy Woo series. There are plenty of drafts for the Marvel stuff that get made but would not be worth anyones' time to sort through them all. Trailblazer101 (talk) 18:34, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
