Negative BLP. Copy of the main space article Tariq Khan (Guantanamo detainee). Not edited since 2008. IQinn (talk) 22:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Delete WP:FAKEARTICLE states: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion."
Because this page violates WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:FAKEARTICLE, it should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 00:07, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- Because there is already an article about the subject in the mainspace, this userspace draft which hasn't been edited since 2008 should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 00:07, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Keep but probably rename. This seems like additional material that could be used for the main article; it is not productive to interfere with an established contributor who has a very strong track record for bringing material up to mainspace standards. The material as a while is being worked on--it is unreasonable to expect an editor to improve all of the material simultaneously. DGG ( talk ) 06:58, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- Comment has Geo been asked why he wants to keep this around, when everything is now in the article? It seems unnecessary to me. It may not be exactly his preferred version, but his latest preferred version is in the mainspace article history. If he wishes to keep a reference copy elsewhere in case the mainspace article gets deleted, our license permits it--and if to safeguard his work against deletion, it would be much better protected against deletion off-wiki. But if he insists on keeping it here I do not see the sense of forcing him. It's not a BLP violation , as the material is accepted in the main article. DGG ( talk ) 15:23, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
