2013 copy of Zia'eddin Tabatabaee. Should be deleted as a WP:UP of an existing article. Ricky81682 (talk) 19:32, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Ricky81682: It's not a article, it's like a sandbox. There are so manyyyy users who do the same, it's not something new, really. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * A sandbox is fine, a sandbox that looks like an article is problematic: "Userspace ... should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Short-term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable (the template can be added to the top of the page to identify these). When a userspace page reaches a point where it can be included as an article consider moving it into mainspace or using its content appropriately in other relevant articles. There already exists an article but your only edit to that is this in contrast to this draft that hasn't been edited in over eighteen months. This version shows up in Category:Miscellaneous pages with VIAF identifiers because those things aren't supposed to be in userspace drafts of articles. And yes, I see editors all the time who copy and create duplicates of articles (to edit on their own, to "save" them in case of deletion, to edit without worrying about discussing the edits with others) but that doesn't make it right and having multiple versions of the same content creates confusion. If you added your content in months ago, even if not totally formatted, other people would have eventually gone and fixed it. Instead, it's still here.  -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:33, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
