User:Cdogsimmons/Romania – Sri Lanka relations[edit]
as per WP:STALEDRAFT, deleted article that user asked to be retained on his userspace but has not worked on it for over 4 years. LibStar (talk) 00:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Keep or at worst Redirect to Foreign_relations_of_Sri_Lanka#Romania. There is material here worth considering adding to mainspace. There is nothing inappropriate requiring deletion or even blanking.True, it should remain live, but it is find in the history behind the redirect.AlthoughEven if the useriswere long inactive, there are no time limits, and it is rude to dispose of someones work while they are away.With the redirect, the user may pick this up again. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:45, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll let the community decide what's best to do with this. LibStar (talk) 01:54, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- All right. All right. Every now and then I come out of semi-retirement to see that not much has changed on the bi-lateral relations fiasco. I would hope that if the page I had drafted cannot be restored to be a stand alone page by consensus, the information could at least be merged with Foreign relations of Romania or Foreign relations of Sri Lanka. If none-of-the-above, I would respectfully request you leave my page alone for another year while I contemplate my return to this metaphorical meat-grinder. Thanks. --Cdogsimmons (talk) 00:50, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
responses like another year give the impression of wanting to indefinitely host. As per staledraft Short-term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable . There is no active editing of this draft nor serious intent of turning into an article. Even cdog needs "another year" just to think about it. 4-5 years is not a short term host by any measure LibStar (talk) 23:54, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- I just noticed the "deleted article that user asked to be retained" in the nomination. Was that there at the start. Next time please link the deletion discussion. I found it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Romania – Sri Lanka relations. Delete as a copy of deleted materials. Please stop using "STALEDRAFT" for copies of deleted content. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:11, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
My original wording has not changed, and I stand by my nomination of deleted content in userspace with no serious intent of becoming an article. LibStar (talk) 00:20, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- I need to make more care to read the nomination more fully. My apologies. Deleted content cannot be hosted in userspace indefinitely being "improved" with no serious attempt to overcome the reasons for deletion noted at AfD. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:41, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- apology accepted. I appreciate your honesty. LibStar (talk) 09:32, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
