 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was Redirect (blanking all but the redirect). The discussion below. As there is no history we are required to merge blanking the page just like any other user inactive user sandbox is appropriate. A user talk message and deletion would likely have been just as effective as the redirect, but it is not hurting anything to be a redirect - community guidelines on "stale" drafts/encylopedic content are currently being contested in multiple venues, but of those who bothered to comment here the redirects have it. This should not be used for precedent setting, and redirect is without prejudice for the user re-purposing this page for any future draft work (even of this same content) in the future. — xaosflux  Talk 15:59, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Article exists at Arkady Shaikhet already, covers this content and includes the only reference, Delete as no longer needed, Legacypac (talk) 07:54, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Since User:Bernikovviktor was editing only last July, I don't see the hurry to delete the draft. I would say wait to see what this user thinks about it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:59, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Draft was created 5+ years ago and never touched since. Content is in the article already. What are we waiting for here? Legacypac (talk) 08:22, 31 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to mainspace. Editor created that version and hasn't edited since July 2015. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:08, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Perfect - thank-you. Legacypac (talk) 06:24, 1 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to the mainspace article. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:STALEDRAFT and WP:UP. What purpose would a redirect serve? This is not a plausible search term and the user is already credited for creating the mainspace article. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 20:13, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Editor was here in July 2015 so WP:STALEDRAFT doesn't apply per note 2. It's basically an active editor who created a page and then in mainspace. For that, I'd support redirecting rather than deleting. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:10, 17 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to mainspace article per Ricky81682 and SmokeyJoe, and also change by nom to redirect, and redirecting the page here. User:P199 has a good point about the purpose of this redirect, and if the user had been inactive for multiple years (eg - five years in some cases here), instead of only eight months, I would agree with deletion. But in this case, redirect seems the better option. - Becksguy (talk) 10:06, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Arkady Shaikhet. North America1000 17:11, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
