User:Polaron/List of metropolitan areas by population


Ten year old WP:FAKEARTICLE that is already covered by List of metropolitan areas by population. Now this version has large unsourced definitions and other terms here that aren't used in the mainspace version making this more of a preferred version of the mainspace content than a ten-year-old legitimate draft or re-write (especially since it was edited two years ago).

 * Would it be possible to just blank the page with Userpage blanked instead of deleting? --Polaron | Talk 11:37, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I would argue this is almost always a better option. The template exists for a reason, and WP:STALEDRAFT suggests considering it before deletion (delete only when "problematic even if blanked"). A2soup (talk) 18:17, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I can live with blanking. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:55, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
