 * 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 delete some. As a first step I have deleted all those which the user has not edited for six months. I will make a further pass and delete those which appear to be fantasy and so have no prospect of becoming articles. JohnCD (talk) 18:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Update: I have now made a second pass, and failed to find any WP:RS for the other video game articles; I am forced to conclude that they are fantasy, and have deleted them all. If in due course Cheetah255 can produce a reliable source for any of them, I will be happy to undelete.

I have also deleted User:Cheetah255/Echa Pa'lla (Manos Pa'rriba) because there is an existing and more up-to-date article Echa Pa'lla (Manos Pa'rriba), but I have not deleted User:Cheetah255/Outta Nowhere because this is a possibly valid article to replace the existing redirect at Outta Nowhere.

Nonexistent or fictionalized video games and subjects. Trivialist (talk) 03:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * This is a USER page, NOT an Article Cheetah255 (talk) 03:27, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * "Miscellany for deletion (MfD) is a place where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic pages in the namespaces outside the main namespace (also called the "article namespace") which aren't covered by other specialized deletion discussion areas." Please also see WP:STALEDRAFT and WP:FAKEARTICLE. Trivialist (talk) 03:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:STALEDRAFT and WP:FAKEARTICLE. User can move pages to mainspace and go through the process of establishing notability etc. if he/she wishes but this kind of material shouldn't indefinitely remain in userspace.  Klein zach  04:21, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's fair to suggest that these are all "nonexistent or fictionalized". of the ones I've checked, they all at least exist, and don't appear to be copies of deleted articles or anything like that. The author should be encouraged to move these to mainspace when they're ready. Quite a few of them are less than six months old and so are hardly stale anyway.

 * Many of these pages are based on existing articles, which is why they seem vaguely plausible. But, to pick one example, I really doubt that there will be an official Miss Universe game that "will focus on the Miss Universe 2000 pageant in Cyprus and its controversies surrounding it" and will include references to "Zimbabwe's escalating violence at the time will be told as a back story." These were clearly created by Cheetah255 for her/his own amusement. Trivialist (talk) 21:23, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, indeed. The ones that are indisputably fake definitely need to go. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment To clarify the staleness issue: 7 of the articles have been worked on this year, 17 of them haven't been touched since sometime last year, 1 dates back to 2011, 2 to 2010, and 1 to 2009.  Klein zach  14:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
