Wikipedia:AN/Lob grenade and run away


Subpage of redirect which has no purposeful use. My name is not dave (talk) 18:13, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Serves no useful purpose and can serve no conceivable potential purpose in future, and there's no content to warrant userification. The project namespace is for material relating to the administration, organization and governance of Wikipedia, not a general dumping ground for editors to use as their personal webhost. &#8209; Iridescent 18:47, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Strongly suggest User:A Den Jentyl Ettien Avel Dysklyver do us the courtesy of a WP:G7, because this is inching slightly beyond trouting territory.  G M G  talk   19:51, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely pointless page. Might be worthy of a box on User:EEng but no more. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  20:06, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Request userification. I can actually see the point of a small essay on the subject, and this would be a useful seed. If somebody wouldn't mind closing this to move to User:The Bushranger/Lob a grenade and run away or some such, I can poke at that. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:08, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * But there's nothing there except a link to File:Alfred Theodore Joseph Bastien - Throwing Grenades.jpg - can't you just make a copy of that link yourself? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:18, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This way the inspiration is attributed. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:28, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - I think this falls under WP:G2: the page is a test of the wrong way to link and display an image, and doesn't have any other content. The right way, of course, is File:Alfred Theodore Joseph Bastien - Throwing Grenades.jpg with the colon preceding to tell the software to render a link rather than rendering the image, and that way you get a link to the customary image page with the authorship details and copyright info. I'm not opposed to The Bushranger (or anyone) having a go at writing a humour essay around the theme of the image, it's public domain, but of course we wouldn't put it at this title.

 * Post-close pedantry - I struck "image" in the close and replaced with "page". The image is where it's always been, all that was moved was a page containing nothing else but a link to the image. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:24, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
