Draft:KWDC-LP

Article is now in mainspace and the AfD of mainspace version has ended with a "Keep". This DRAFT version is no longer necessary. Neutralhomer • Talk • 17:33, 5 June 2021 (UTC) 17:28, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: As nominator, I would no qualms with this as a redirect as well. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:16, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as per the reasons Neutralhomer has given. Draft is no longer necessary. --DrChuck68 (talk) 17:37, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This was created as a content fork of the article when at AfD. Was never necessary, was not even legit. Do not do this, it creates an attribution-failing version. If you think an AfD-ed article should be draftified, !vote that opinion in the AfD, or request a draftification afterwards, but do not copy-paste. SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:33, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Vaticidalprophet 23:11, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect from draft space to the article. No need to delete. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:53, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per RMcC. Keeps the history in case it holds anything of use for future editors of the article. UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:53, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
“Keep the history” is the opposite of WP:UP#COPIES, the logic of which applies equally to copy-pastes anywhere. Page forking is recommended against, and if done should only be short term and then deleted, as it’s ongoing existence creates an attribution compliance hazard. There should be a rule: do not fork to draft when nominated at AfD. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:40, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per csd g7. Yes usually we redirect this stuff to save time, but... This page has two authors, both of whom have !voted for deletion, and where there is no cause to doubt good-faith. Joint g7s have always been allowed so Neutralhomer and DrChuck68 you could do everyone a favour by just doing a joint tag so this can be closed early, also in the future please wait until after deletion and then request a WP:REFUND to user or draftspace, yes we can always fix attribution issues later if we have too but it's added work and complex history merges can be a real pain, so it's preferred to just avoid splitting history to begin with you can continue to edit an article while it's at afd.

For the record, I am not the author. As the nominator, I can not close this early, it would be HIGHLY against the rules. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:37, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Neutralhomer No you are one of two authors, or a major contributor if you prefer that formulation, hence both you and DrChuck68 would need to sign off on the g7. After the article is deleted this discussion can be closed early, as a housekeeping close I think we could then just follow WP:NOTBURO because the usual reasons for avoiding involved closes no longer apply, but honestly those are so easily dealt with anyway that someone will close quite promptly after deletion without any of us doing anything.

Doesn't need to happen. This will run it's course in due course...of course. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:54, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Neutralhomer No but it saves time, and we would rather in cases like this that people just g7 things to avoid wasting time in the future. Anyway in the future just bear in mind that it's best to g7 in situations like this. Regards, 31.41.45.190 (talk) 01:59, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
