User:Andretamale/The Coup (book)[edit]

Stale draft that adds nothing to The Coup (Updike novel) and no point of a redirect. Legacypac (talk) 19:04, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Points for redirecting include:

Keeps the user's edit history available for review;
serves the user should he return looking for his work;
supports any external invcoming links, such as the user's offline notes or bookmarks.

Redirect. No reason to delete, but should be redirected because any interest in this subject should be first referred to the mainspace article. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:00, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's no need as the histories are unrelated. I don't know what's the point of saving the fact that the editor created a draft version of a page we already have (deleted edits are vieweable by admins). The editor was already notified on their talk page so they will know what happened. If the editor has external incoming links to draftspace, that kind of defeats the whole idea of noindexing and generally giving more leeway to drafts than mainspace. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:45, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No need to keep the history. delete with reference to The Coup (Updike novel), or delete and redirect to The Coup (Updike novel), or delete noting The Coup (Updike novel) in the deletion summary are all effectively the same as redirect except one has far less administrative overhead than the others.

Incoming links does not defeat noindexing. Noindexing stops search engines from showing the page to other people looking for things like it, it is not intended to prevent bookmarking. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:56, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as there's barely any contents here, nothing convincing. SwisterTwister talk 07:03, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as redundant to mainspace article, there should be no duplicate entries of topics. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 00:00, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
