Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Stingmans/Deathly Hollows Leaks


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was speedy keep; nomination withdrawn. Since there is no separate article for this problem (nor should their be), it is a valid use of userspace to develop this topic in an unpressurized sandbox format. The issue of server load raised by Rambutan is not a problem. Non-admin closure. Shalom Hello 03:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Stingmans/Deathly Hollows Leaks
User:Stingmans forked this content off from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when people kept deleting it because it failed WP:V. They are now hosting it in user space as "a sandbox", i.e. to avoid the need to meet WP:V. However, this now violates WP:NOT. Marnanel 02:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

(Oh, I should mention that they initially moved the content to Stringmans/Deathly Hollows Leaks in the main namespace; I myself moved it into userspace because that was clearly the intention, since there is no page Stringmans... although I suppose that would mean it could have been speedied if I'd left it. But due process is important.) Marnanel 02:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep for now. The book is being released in just over 48 hours; after that point, there are no longer grounds for objection to including plot summaries and information about leaks into the article, or anywhere else.  Not that I think this is particularly well-written; it certainly needs work. That is exactly what a sandbox is for. If it is still around in a few weeks and the information is substantially included in the article (or the sandbox remains untouched), then it would be appropriate to re-nominate. Incidentally, it is considered good wiki-etiquette to notify the user whose sandbox you have nominated for deletion directly onto their user talk page.  I encourage you to do so.

 * Speedy Keep: Eh, good point. Marnanel 03:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete It doesn't add anything to Wikipedia, so why burden servers with it?--Rambutan (talk) 14:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep It's in user space. What Wikipedia policy is it violating? --Richard 17:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
