This is a user space draft that was copied over to mainspace and is now stale. User has not editted since 2009. Whpq (talk) 02:47, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- Redirect or History merge all but the last two versions with Teton Valley, Idaho. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:24, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - The article version that was copied over to mainspace from userspace has only edits by this editor. From a history standpoint, the creation of the article as noted in the version history of the mainspace article provides the necessary attribution so a history merge is not required. As for the redirect, a cross-namespace redirect makes no sense here. -- Whpq (talk) 11:47, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
- You are right in that it is not strictly necessary, but it does fix to the state that would have existed had've the author done the recommended page-move instead of a copy-paste. Page-moves of userspace drafts leave userspace-mainspace redirects and the are absolutely no problem. Like nearly everything in one's userspace, it exists for the user and is for the user to keep or delete (with caveats, withou any WP:PERFORMANCE issues). --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:38, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
