Stale sandbox from 2007. Had an old copy of Halifax, Nova Scotia which was deleted. The problem stemmed from confusion over Halifax, Nova Scotia back when it was a disambiguation page. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:23, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess there's no reason for it to stay (I gave up on trying to compromise when I realised it was more trouble than it was worth). That said, there are various old drafts of things sitting in my userspace that are not causing anyone any harm, so I don't see why this was singled out for deletion.  An April Fools joke perhaps?  --RFBailey (talk) 22:53, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No, because I saw the ages old discussion on the Halifax confusion and it linked to this. If you want this or any other old userspace drafts deleted, just tag them with db-u1. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:54, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * If anything, the fact that it's linked from a discussion page is a reason not to delete it. --RFBailey (talk) 22:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * As a stale draft regarding an issue that has been resolved, there is no harm in deleting it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, there's no harm in keeping it either. Deletion is a process for removing material that is inappropriate from public view, not housecleaning.  We don't delete old discussions from talk pages because they are "stale" or "resolved", so I don't see why this is any different.  --RFBailey (talk) 01:28, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per RFBailey, for the benefit of anybody who would like to read the relevant discussion in the future. Graham 87 10:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, trusting RFBailey's judgement. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:58, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't like the idea of preserving content which is linked from talk discussions in someone's userspace. Can this at least be moved into an archive on talkspace? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:44, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
