Seems to be used as an alternate history project rather than any legitimate encyclopedic purpose. I've nominated it here rather than tag it as U5 so the creator has a chance to export it elsewhere if they wish. It certainly looks to have taken a lot of work, but isn't appropriate for hosting on Wikipedia. – Teratix ₵ 13:03, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The User has made enough mainspace edits to make U5 non applicable. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:22, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I looked on WP:NOT and WP:UPNOT and found nothing saying alternate history related things as something I can't have on a userspace. Unless it has been made clear by an administrator that what I am doing on my sandbox page falls under WP:UPNOT/WP:NOT and that I don't have enough edits to count me out of U5, and that article is updated to include that alternate history cannot be put on a userspace, I really do not see how it's a U5. And if Smokey is right than it shouldn't fall under U5 regardless. Thanks, User:ST15RMwikipedia 22:11, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The relevant policy is WP:NOTWEBHOST – user pages do not serve as ... repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. See also WP:UP – Unrelated content includes ... extensive writings ... having virtually no chance whatsoever of being directly useful to the project. – Teratix ₵ 00:36, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There is precedent for U5ing alternate history stuff in userspace even where a user has a large number of productive mainspace edits. I cannot remember exactly which user(s) it was, but I can recall two instances in the last year or so. Offer the user a chance to take it elsewhere and then can it, IMO> (that's a Delete, for people who don't like reading.) -- a they/them &#124; argue &#124; contribs 18:17, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, in that case, can I remove the unwanted boxes and keep my sandbox? I have already backed them up. Thanks, User:ST15RMwikipedia 18:51, 25 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - Maybe we need a rule against this sort of stuff, but maybe that would involve a long list of various sorts of stuff, and the long list would be more stuff. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:33, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
