WP:STALEDRAFT – Has not been edited since February 2014. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 04:44, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

STALEDRAFT is not a valid reason to delete, but do delete due to it being promotion by a non-contributor, WP:YAMB being a full explanation. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:59, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

STALEDRAFT is a reason to delete: "if of no potential and problematic even if blanked, seek deletion". Blanking the page will leave a blank draft page with the band's name in place forever about a non-notable band, which is problematic per Wikipedia's purposes.

STALEDRAFT is not a reason per se to delete, because it does not speak to whether there is any problem with the material. You are clearly alluding to the problem of promotion of the band's name persisting in the title. This is the reason for the problem and hence the reason for deletion. STALEDRAFT is irrelevant. The reason for deletion is unchanged even if the user returned monthly to tweak. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It is "if problematic even if blanked" not "if the page alone is problematic even if blanked." The problem is the encouragement of COI and promotional editors, which is why U5 was created. If in mainspace, it would be deleted. If unblanked, it would be subject to U5 concerns and possibly deleted. Why shouldn't it be deleted if brought to MFD? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:39, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this, but note that the nomination does not even imply any of it. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:56, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
