 * 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  Rendered moot by User:Snottywong, who moved the page to article space. Although one editor called for the redirect to be deleted, redirects from userspace to mainspace (as opposed to vice-versa) are generally acceptable and this one could be helpful for User:JohnDTraynor if he ever returns looking for his page, so I'm leaving it in place. --RL0919 (talk) 16:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

User:JohnDTraynor/Surface Unsigned
This has sat for a year and a half with no progress towards it becoming an article (other than someone with an obvious COI editing it to alter criticism of the event). I don't think the Surface Unsigned event is notable, so we should delete this pseudoarticle. Fences &amp;  Windows  21:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Editor only edited one day ever - over 18 months ago. Time to remove it.-- SPhilbrick  T  01:02, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Per both above. Not much else to say.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 03:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment -- Is this a topic worth covering? I am not familiar with what constitutes notability for music festivals.  Earlier this year, in its regional coverage, the BBC News wrote:  About the Festival Wales Online wrote:  The Newham Recorder wrote:

 * Comment -- I included this mfd in the deletion sorting template for music because I think, with a little more effort, the festival might merit being moved to article space. Geo Swan (talk) 21:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I deleted the rescue template on this article, as that is inappropriate for MfD and userpages. If you want to discuss whether the article on this user's page is notable and/or worthy of inclusion, then move it to the mainspace and AfD it.  Otherwise, it should be deleted from userspace.

 * Keep violates no specific userspace rules I can find other than the editor last edited a long time back.  In point of fact, very few userspace pages could avoid deletion if the reasoning is used that "it will never be a mainspace article." Collect (talk) 15:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Per WP:SOFIXIT, I have moved the page to the article namespace (Surface Unsigned), tagged it for cleanup, and blanked the user page. It's clear that this page was no longer going to be edited by the original author, so rather than debate (at an inappropriate venue) about whether the article is notable or not, let's move it into article space and let it live or die there like every other article.  If someone wants to bring the article to AfD to discuss notability concerns, then feel free.    Snotty Wong   confer 20:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete the redirect Because the userspace draft has been moved to mainspace, this useless redirect can be deleted. Cunard (talk) 02:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
