User:SonicANS/Death from a Distance and the Birth of a Humane Universe


Stale userspace draft. Contents were copied to articlespace but deleted per Articles for deletion/Death from a Distance and the Birth of a Humane Universe. Ricky81682 (talk) 04:41, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Is it really a copy of the deleted article Death_from_a_Distance_and_the_Birth_of_a_Humane_Universe (I can't see, odd that it would be copied a day before being listed at AfD). If so, then this is a clear cut reason for deletion, being old and untouched, not "stale".  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:04, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It's exactly the same text, categories and all. This version was created first (December 14-16) and then the final version was copied over. At that point, there were two categories listed and then the AFD. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:07, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I see. Delete per nom.
 * Just wondering... Would it be easy if every time someone attempted a large new page save in mainspace, if the software could search for similar pages, an automated method to discourage content forking. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * There's reasons to allow it though: sometimes we need to do a history merge not a deletion. Also people do use it to offer suggested reorganizations of pages but you could make a request at WP:Bot requests or Database reports or elsewhere to create a new special page if you come up with the specific criteria (it would have to allow for some degree of variation) and to be honest there are plenty of worse things out there. I'm just culling Category:Userspace drafts created via the Article Wizard from December 2009. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:53, 9 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as per Articles for deletion/Death from a Distance and the Birth of a Humane Universe. Likely an attempt to circumvent the deletion decision. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 18:31, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
