Draft:Luke Cutforth[edit]

Draft:Luke Cutforth (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The page needs to be blanked due to inactivity. The subject is a famous youtube blogger, found non-notable when deleted at AfD. Post-deletion, it was userfied for improvement, but improvements were small and the interested editor then became inactive. Further research, or developments, could easily reveal the subject to be notable, but in the meantime the page is an unmaintained out-of-date presentation of a not quite notable BLP.

XfDs and draftification:
I appreciate User:Davey2010's frustration in trying to deal with this abandoned draft.
User:C.Fred disagreed with my attempts to boldly blank, so I am bringing it to MfD for discussion.
Blank, and leave blanked, until an editor arrives who is interested in updating it and can demonstrate Wikipedia-notability. There is nothing in the history that needs to be hidden from non-admins. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:38, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - At the moment I personally believe it should be deleted on the basis that it's already been deleted 3 times (the 4th time it was then undeleted), As no substantial sources have been found in the 2/3 times of it being recreated I personally don't see the point of leaving it here or blanking it, If an established editor wants to take it on (through refund) then great but blanking/keeping it only means more fan crap will be added and perhaps in the end it'll be deleted anyway, Also I just want to state for the record that me moving this and AFDing it wasn't abusing anything nor was I trying to be sneaky - It was just a case that I was trying to get a better discussion and more editors involved, Anyway moving on from that I personally don't see the point in keeping this however If anyone can perhaps find a good reason to keep then I'd be more than happy to change my mind, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:13, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I definitely agree that Davey has not been in any way abusing of process or sneaky. The process for dealing with abandoned draftified pages is not established. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it definitely lies somewhere between "delete but allow WP:REFUND on request" and "Blank, until an interested editor picks it up". I don't think it is normal that "fan crap" gets added to blanked articles. Non-Wikipedians do not find the material in the history of a blanked page. If it weren't for the page being out-of-date BLP, I would be happy for it to remain unblanked in draftspace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
