Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Wrongly moved submissions

OK I withdraw this nomination, and instead am adding a request on the talk page to remove the link to the outdated page Noyster (talk),  22:41, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Archive. WikiProject should be able to self-manage without requiring MfD.  Deletion over archiving requires verification that all of the history is good for deletion, and this usually costs more than the benefit of deletion.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:00, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete AFC isn't using this page any longer. The listed drafts have all since been moved. I don't understand the value of archiving the page. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 03:05, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I largely err to "archive" because I don't know the history of significance of the page, or lack of. Just because a page has not been updated for three years doesn't mean it should be deleted.  Do you, or the nominator, assert an understanding of the history of the page and are you sure it has no historical significance, including as an example for how to track wrongly moved pages?    --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:32, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I found it prominently linked here in the para Please check also the page Wrongly moved submissions if an inexperienced editor (or an experienced editor, by accident) moved an AfC submission incorrectly (that page is updated every hour by Legobot.... If the better course is to change or remove this para then OK, but it shouldn't remain there as a false trail Noyster (talk),  09:39, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Do nothing as this issue should be handled internally by the project. There is no need to take it to MFD or any other "external" fora unless discussion has become deadlocked at the project's internal deliberations - which has not happened because no such discussion has even been initiated!

 * I think it would be nice if we had another bot to monitor those page moves, as they are pretty easy to screw up (even for experienced users). Otherwise just mark as historical, whatever. No need to delete. Legoktm (talk) 19:52, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
