Word-for-word copy of de:Lester Randolph Ford Award. Not a UP#COPY because it's not in userspace, and not an A2 candidate because it's not in articlespace. Maybe we could call it a G12 violation since there's no attribution? In any event, it's long abandoned, and thereby an abuse of draftspace. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 09:21, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete I also agree that the misuse of draftspace in this manner was never endorsed. I was personally toying with nominating for deletion, but wanted to get a chance on the grounds that perhaps the translation may have revealed something becasue we don't have a list of the award winners.

- Keep. No indication that this isn't a notable topic. why not blank instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.176.57.187 (talk) 20:23, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Because it's an unattributed copy of an article from another Wikipedia. If it were in articlespace it'd be a CSD candidate. You can't just copy-and-paste content without attributing it and then abandon it. Blanking is not sufficient to address that problem, and for that matter it's not in userspace: I'm not aware of blanking being an option for draftspace. It is not reasonably likely that this will ever be used. If someone wants it they can go to German Wikipedia at any time. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 23:45, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
