Talk:Article 1


It seems that at one point the merge tags used Talk:Article 1 as boilerplate text, which some users didn't bother to change. This lead to this talk page. I've moved the discussions to there relevant talk pages, but this page now needs a delete and salt. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  03:42, 19 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Replace with a notice that explains what happened. Nice catch, but I don't think the actual *edits* by these new users should be deleted, especially if they've been copied to different pages. I have no objection to replacing it with a notice and fully protecting the page, however. Graham 87 09:46, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * One reason I'm advocating deletion is that all the posts were signed, so we have attribution that way. We don't need to preserve edit history. None of the edits have been deleted, they've just been moved to the correct talk pages. And it doesn't seem that all of the posts were made by new users, BTW. The salting is similar to that at pages like like this one, placeholder links for what shouldn't be real pages. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  12:49, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, deleting the page would remove the posts from users' contribution history. Replace with a notice including DisambigProjectand protect per Graham. – Fayenatic L (talk) 13:47, 19 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Replace with a notice saying "Please type an actual article title instead of 'Article 1'" and protect. This will prevent such things from happening in the future. I find it amazing all these people really didn't notice they were writing on a page called Talk:Article 1 and not on a page whose name bore any relation to what they were writing about. You'd think heaps of previous, entirely unrelated discussion would have raised their curiosity. J I P  &#124; Talk 19:48, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Talk:Article One, since Article 1 redirects to Article One. 70.49.124.147 (talk) 04:44, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect per 70.49.124.147; we shouldn't get rid of the history for attribution reasons, and this would be more sensible than anything else. Definitely protect it, though.  Nyttend (talk) 18:35, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
