User:Pmanderson/Dublin


I believe it fails WP:NOTGUIDE because the opening text says "visitors to Dublin" and the userdraft also includes "selected unusual Dublin statues". MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete – It looks like a save of a copy of something, probably a previously deleted article; so it's disconnected from its history, which is a no-no. Dicklyon (talk) 18:23, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * He has collected other such things, such as User:Pmanderson/DPT saved in 2005, which probably also ought to go. Dicklyon (talk) 18:24, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment If it was disconnected from a page history, history merge could be used. However, I haven't seen anything that suggests it (but I will look). --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:39, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The first edit summary on /Dublin just says "save"; on /DPT it says "Last sound version of DPT"; the relevant histories are probably on deleted articles? Dicklyon (talk) 00:48, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. It was mistagged by User:X201 as a draft.  Instead, it looks like Pmanderson's userspace reasonable leeway.  If, per Dicklyon, it is a copy of deleted content, please supply evidence.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Any idea how to find history of deleted contents? The edit summary just says "save", like he's stashing it from some place lihe he did with /DPT.   Dicklyon (talk) 04:04, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've searched AfDs for *dublin*, but there is a lot. What is the likelihood that the save was entirely his own work?  Even if unlikely, it should be weighed against the rudeness of interfering with productive Wikipedians' userspace.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:15, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment - I nominated this draft because it seemed to fail WP:NOTGUIDE. I believe this nomination has been misunderstood. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 15:23, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I understood, but provided an additional reason, as it looks like this was deleted before and he just saved a personal copy. Dicklyon (talk) 15:31, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: it actually seems to cover most of the List of public art in Dublin but with wordy prose that seems to add nothing much to it other than locations and minor descriptions. Besides which no improvements have been made to try and make it into a real article in almost 8 years. ww2censor (talk) 15:18, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per Ww2censor and nominator. It does look like a 2008 version of List of public art in Dublin. There's nothing in the editor's deleted contributions (an admin can easily review those) that indicates where this came from. It seems timed to coincide with Articles for deletion/Dublin statues and their nicknames and "saving" that which never ended up deleted. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 16:38, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
