WP:STALEDRAFT – Excluding bot edits, has not been edited since January 2011. Seems to be a test page. This will never make it to main namespace. North America1000 11:30, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:STALEDRAFT is not a reason for deletion. Harmless test edit by a single-edit account.  Next time just blank it.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually WP:STALEDRAFT is a reason for deletion. See point #2 regarding old draft pages in the userspace of long inactive users, where it states "if entirely unsuitable, seek deletion". This page has virtually no content, will never become an article in its present state, and it's creator has not edited since January 2011. North America1000 11:55, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Disagree. Userspace is and always has been a suitable place for testing.  It is absurd to argue that every remnant of testing in userspace needs to be deleted, particularly if the deletion needs to be via an MfD discussion.  What is "entirely unsuitable" about this remnant of a test edit?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:57, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I see what you're saying, but Wikipedia is not a web host for the indefinite hosting of non-encyclopedic content. Also, per WP:G2, test pages qualify for deletion, but the criterion does not apply to pages in the user namespace. So, here we are, at MfD. North America1000 13:11, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * If it contained non-encyclopedic content, I would agree. But there is no content arguably there for some outside purpose, and no page views (excepting the 32 since you listed it here), and so there is no basis for arguing that the intent of NOTWEBHOST applies.  G2 doesn't apply to userspace for good reason, because userspace is for Wikipedians to experiment, not because the community decided that it wanted to explicitly discuss every userspace test.  This is not a Wikipedian, and there is no content to "keep", but the page is too trivial to be worth asking the community to comment.  Please just blank next time.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:40, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * It wasn't me that viewed the page 32 times since its listing. The review of this nomination has wasted time for Wikipedian's who are not commenting.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:42, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, the totality of the draft, "✭NANCY✭ new article content ..." is wholly non-encyclopedic. North America1000 13:49, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * But that totality is zero. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:28, 27 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as test edit. This is not a sandbox page that we can keep. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:03, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Really? I went back to have a look, was it just a poor rationale when there was something actually problematic about the page?  No.  This page is no different to uncounted contentless pages in userspace.


 * Delete now that we are here, but this is yet another net negative MfD nomination. See busywork.  Processing this nomination cost more than doing nothing.  And what is the actual problem?  My best guess is that it bothers someone due to it populating Category:Articles created via the Article Wizard or Category:Userspace drafts created via the Article Wizard from January 2011?  For that, the simplest, cheapest, solution is to remove the categories or blank the page.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:57, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
