Talk:Frederick III, German Emperor/Comments
This page is an assessment summary from 2008. I've already substituted the contents onto the main talk page, but I'm not sure what the proper procedure is for deleting the /Comments page and I wasn't sure I could simply erase the content and then request Speedy Deletion.

 * Question. I thought it was normal to put assessments on a comments page. Am I out of date? -- Klein zach  04:09, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I was directed to Discontinuation of comments subpages. Does that help? Aristophanes68 (talk) 04:18, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. -- Klein zach  04:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Copy into the talk page. Obvious, I would have thought. The content is relevant to the article and should be preserved. I don't even think it's necessary to preserve a redirect because all the edits to the comments page are signed and timestamped by the author. Reyk  YO!  20:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I already copied it. I just wasn't sure what to do with the comments page after copying it. Blank it first and then request speedy deletion? Aristophanes68 (talk) 20:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You did the right thing here. When you copied, did you provide all required attribution, per Copying within Wikipedia?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I used the "subst" template and everything copied over--and some of it's already been archived. Aristophanes68 (talk) 16:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. These sorts of things, assessments, etc, belong on the active talk page, where they will be archived with co-temporary talk page stuff.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm just not sure of the procedure for what to do next--having substituted the page onto the current talk page, do I now blank the page and use speedy delete, or will an editor delete the page for me? Aristophanes 68   (talk)  00:24, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You are supposed to come here and request deletion, as you have done. Now just wait.  Many admins would agree to WP:CSD the page, especially if you have clearly copied with attribution, and are maintaining the original editors intention (obviously true).  You seem to have done the copying here.  It’s a little confusing because your addition to the talk page was archived three hours later.  I suggest in future adding you own signed and dated comment, stating that you are copying from a comments page, which would make it easier to track.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Groovy--thanks. Aristophanes 68   (talk)  16:18, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
