Help:Wikipedia

 * – (View MfD)

This page does not appear to have a clear purpose. It's a far less comprehensive version of WP:About (not that WP:About is in all that great shape itself), with a bit of Help:Contents thrown in. I've never come across it before, so it seems mostly orphaned. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 23:54, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It was more of a placeholder to link the other pages together ( being top level i.e. Help:Wikipedia ) whilst help was being rationalised. Rationalisation continues, less is more in this case so go for it! Lee&there4;V 16:17, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to WP:ABOUT or WP:HELP. There are very few links to this page per "what links here." It seems to me like redirecting it to one of the more frequently used pages might be more prudent than wholesale deletion, since it's pretty standard to do cross-namespace redirects between Help and WP namespaces.  bibliomaniac 1  5  18:24, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect somewhere appropriate per Bibliomaniac15. If it gets retooled in the future, that is fine as well. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 11:09, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Make it work. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * We want fewer help pages, not more. If it doesn't have a clear justification to exist, it needs to go. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 23:12, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Disagree. That is merely your opinion. It is an obvious title, and has long running non zero pageviews. Consolidate yes, delete no. WP:ATD is policy.  Don’t needlessly discard others work from the available records. There are some obvious “redirect” possible solutions to the “creep” too many help pages problem.  XfD May appear efficient because it delivers results on a ~week deadline, which is why the onus is on the nominator to explain why non-deletion solutions are not good. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:15, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
