 * 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 Speedy keep, but recommend moving per discussion. Karst is right that the draft should be moved to a sandbox or draft page, and it sounds like CandidLibraryEditors is willing to do this. However, the fact that the draft was included on a userpage instead of a sandbox page does not require deletion. Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:29, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

User:CandidLibraryEditors


Using User page for a draft. Karst (talk) 13:09, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

I was told by an experienced editor that I can draft articles in my userspace, which has been full of small drafts since I joined -Quote "I am sorry that I tagged your article for deletion. However, in future you should finish your article in your userspace, or a subpage of your user page. Thank you.--Eat me, I'm a red bean (discuss • contribs) 11:13, 1 September 2015 (UTC)" (source: my talk page). So why has my userspace been tagged for deletion when I was only drafting? Be more specific, Karst. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CandidLibraryEditors (talk • contribs

Under this category, my draft was not problematic, merely unfinished: "Problematic userspace material is often addressed by the User pages guidelines including in some cases removal by any user or tagging to clarify the content or to prevent external search engine indexing. (Examples include copies of old, deleted, or disputed material, problematic drafts, promotional material, offensive material, inappropriate links, 'spoofing' of the MediaWiki interface, disruptive HTML, invitations or advocacy of disruption, certain kinds of images and image galleries, etc) If your concern relates to these areas consider these approaches as well, or instead of, deletion."

Also: "User pages about Wikipedia-related matters by established users usually do not qualify for deletion."


 * You now have it in your User page - where people generally put details about their interests and what they like to edit on Wikipedia (click on my name to see mine). It should be in your User space preferably your Sandbox. Just copy it over - it is merely a technical issue. Karst (talk) 13:27, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Thankyou, Karst. I was unaware that userpages were reserved for personal information. I will do as specified above. Thankyou for concluding the Paloma Faith- Gibraltar issue. CandidLibraryEditors —Preceding undated comment added 17:29, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
