Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:List of draft pages on science and engineering

Note: For anyone that might have ended up at this page after looking at the edit summary for a page that was either deleted or moved from a subpage of User:Math-drafts, I accidentally listed the wrong MfD in those edit summaries. The correct MfD can be found at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Math-drafts.  —&#8288;Scotty Wong &#8288;— 17:15, 10 March 2022 (UTC)  __NOINDEX__

Wikipedia:List of draft pages on science and engineering

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

This is not kept up to date, and subcategories of Category:Draft articles perform the same role and are up-to-date. Nothing really links here so I thought deleting would probably be cleaner than redirecting somewhere. Note the creator of this page has a topic ban on the Draft namespace and related discussions according to Administrators' noticeboard/Archive292 and this was brought up again at Administrators' noticeboard/Archive314. -- Beland (talk) 07:45, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * comment Clarification - the topic ban applies to talking about the draft space, and MFDs for drafts. So this particular page is not within the topic ban. The creator could add to this page, but there is so much for him to do, that I can see why it is not maintained. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:52, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Abstain: Given the topic ban, it would be safe for me to refrain from making a comment on this particular deletion. But I want to mention that a list has an advantage that it can contain red links. So, generally speaking, I *personally* prefer lists to categories in order to keep track of draft articles. (I mainly work on math drafts, so even though I created this page, I don’t actively edit this page.) —- Taku (talk) 12:52, 23 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - This page appears to be useless. It seems to be a very incomplete list, and at least partly the result of a long-standing topic-ban on User:TakuyuMurata that should probably be revisited and ended.  I never understood the topic-ban well, but it was largely the result of conflict between Taku and two other editors who wanted to keep draft space clean, User:Hasteur and User:Legacypac, neither of whom is a current editor, and we should be looking to lifting the topic-ban.

 * Actually the page was created as a counterpart of WikiProject Mathematics/List of math draft pages. Like said above, I don't track on science topics in the draftspace; the hope was someone like me in the non-math science area will keep it up-to-date date but that didn't happen and (I don't mind it is deleted or redirected therefore). -- Taku (talk) 16:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
