Former stub in mainspace that was A7'd but moved an admin into userspace. It's not been improved since. Legacypac (talk) 18:56, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I do not understand. Please explain. I have dozens of sandboxes containing various data ranging from placeholders, notes, lists of potentially relevant references, article skeletons, works in progress, through to "stuff that's nearly complete". None of these are in the article space - they're sandboxes. Why are you picking on this one sandbox? You write: "It's not been improved since." Why is this an issue? In fact, just what is the issue? Why are you nominating one of my sandboxes for deletion? I do not understand. Please explain. Pdfpdf (talk) 23:38, 31 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I see a link to the sandbox appears on WikiProject Abandoned Drafts/Stale drafts/Full/2 and WikiProject Abandoned Drafts/Stale drafts/33
 * Why?
 * Who put them there?
 * How?
 * When?

 * Keep - Agree with that there is no issue with this draft and that deleting produces no tangible benefit to the project. Also, Pdfpdf's reaction is a valuable example of one of the potential costs of deletions like this that is not offset by the non-existent benefits. A2soup (talk) 00:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The editor is active so WP:STALE doesn't apply. There's no requirement for an active editor to work immediately on drafts or sandboxes. I have many sandboxes and drafts that haven't been touched in years., the abandoned drafts list was just pulled from Category:Stale userspace drafts which picked up the page because it has Template:userspace draft and hasn't been touched in a year. From that, a subset of pages relating to inactive users should be look at and from there, a smaller subset can he discussed at MFD. It was just a starting point, the same page is located at Category:Userspace drafts from March 2012 and can be reviewed via Category:Userspace drafts in the same manner. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Withdraw. Sorry I don't normally nominate drafts from active users. 95% of these stale drafts were started by one day or even one edit accounts, making this a very unusual exception. Happy to see it kept if someone plans to work on it. Legacypac (talk) 06:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
