Wikipedia:Promotional drafts


This essay is no longer accurate or needed, since the userspace is no longer indexed by search engines. (See NOINDEX for details.) —  Newslinger  talk   18:36, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obsolete and misleading at this point.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:51, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Seemingly created through sockpuppetry, though the history is a bit confusing. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 04:56, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Not sure This is outdated, and it is misleading, and it does seem to be created inappropriately. All of those are reasons to remove this. However, despite the futility of userpage publishing people still do it, and this page is a record of a historical problem and could be tagged as historical. I suppose what I really wish could happen is deletion of this and the simultaneous establishment of a new essay recommending to not attempt publishing in the userpage. So you made a userspace draft is close but not the same. Without a replacement for this identified I could stand for this remaining.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  16:00, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Mark as Historical Someone in the future might wish to note some of the progressions on Wikipedia, and this could very well be of interest. It "does no harm" otherwise if so marked. Collect (talk) 19:56, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Contains long-changed information about the indexing of drafts, and could be taken to be true. Get rid of.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:46, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Mark historical this is basically what the historical template is for. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 12:31, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
