The result of the debate was Speedy G6 (and BTW, to answer Suntag's question, "article talk space sandboxes" are used for creating clean copies of copyvios, that's the only reason I'm aware of) Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Sarah Palin/Draft article
Whatever the merits of this semi-protected draft sub-page while Sarah Palin was full protected - and they were debated at Talk:Sarah Palin at the time - they don't apply when the real article is semi-protected and this is also semi-protected. Any editor who can edit this page can now also edit the real article. It has become a little watched, little edited and little watched content fork of Sarah Palin. No currently active discussion at Talk:Sarah Palin is making use of this. Nor, as far as I can tell, did any consensus edits get made during the full protection that need the history of this page for GFDL purposes. -- GRBerry 21:17, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Of no use now that the main article is no longer fully protected. Besides that, it is a rarely watched page with a potential for spreading wp:blp violations.--Paul (talk) 22:01, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, this page has no function now the main page is back to semi-protection. Tim Vickers (talk) 22:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. That's why we have protection rules. Bearian (talk) 22:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - QuackGuru's post at MfD that "More editors are viewing subpage sandboxes than personal sanboxes" got me thinking. In response, I created a list of article talk space sandboxes at User:Suntag/Sandbox. There seems to be some legitimate uses for article talk space sandboxes. Excluding archives, the Lyndon LaRouche article has an very large underground sandbox system. As for justifications, I found About the Sandbox (User sandboxes are OK) and Template test cases (template sandboxes are OK), but neither seems to cover this situation. If you have some time, please look over the list and post a summary here of what is and is not legitimate uses for article talk space sandboxes. Thanks. -- Suntag (talk) 22:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
