These pages are 2-year-old, unattributed copies of List of largest stars, or portions of it, and should be deleted per WP:UP. These content forks were created during/in response to a content dispute which is preserved in the article's history, and their page history contains well-known stars such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat/sandbox&oldid=806780380#Read_this_first. your mom]. This editor is an indefinitely blocked and globally locked sock-puppeteer and any content copied from these pages to mainspace would have been transferred by Joey himself, therefore preserving attribution. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:57, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete all per above. Can't say I ever expected this topic to have this sort of controversy. -Crossroads- (talk) 04:16, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * This is not controversial. It is routine maintenance for good attribution practices.  Short term (~1 week) sandboxing is reasonable before doing real edits to a page, but making copies of whole pages, and then allowing them to age, creates attribution hazards.  WP:UP could be a WP:CSD#G12 related criterion, except that people often don't take care to check whether the copy does in fact have an edit history that should be part of the real page history.  If you make a userpage copy, do edits to it, and a third person contributes edits, and then the copy is copy-pasted back to mainspace, then the third person needs their attribution record attended to.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:53, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Crossroads may have been referring to the edit war about the topic of star size, though I admit I am only speculating. -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:49, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Might as well close this off. Britishfinance (talk) 23:52, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
