More WP:STALEDRAFTs from this user. Most of this content is either an ancient draft of an existing article, an article that was deleted, or just plain nonsense. All of these date back to about 2007 or 2008, and the user in question barely edits anymore. See also Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:TheListUpdater/Northland Center.

 * Delete all. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:39, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * This content isn't plausibly going to find its way to articlespace. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:55, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Move content to User:TheListUpdater/sandbox as unindexed sections. —  C M B J   05:28, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * What purpose would that serve? It'd still be harboring WP:FAKEARTICLEs in userspace. Some of these contain blatant misinformation. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 06:30, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * They may very well serve some purpose to their author—or to other editors—in the future, whether as an internal reminder, or a starting point, or a frame of reference, or for some other entirely unexpected reason. There is no deadline here and, unless userspace content is harmful, its handling should respect both the principle of least astonishment and the contributor's personal boundaries. As you say, the content in question here may be potentially misleading, so its public visibility should be minimized — and that may be adequately achieved through unindexing and collapsing of it in the sandbox. —  C M B J   09:05, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * DELETE soonish Since the user was noticed with the MFD tag, if they don't speak up within a reasonable period of time to offer a "purpose" for our consideration, then these 2007 stale/fake drafts amount to highway litter and should be cleaned up.  Also I reject your characterization elsewhere of this mfd here as "random".  If an untouched 2007 draft is not stale, what is? NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
