Wikipedia:Wikipedian Peace Treatment Organization[edit]

Wikipedia:Wikipedian Peace Treatment Organization (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unclear what the "Wikipedian Treatment Peace Organization" is supposed to be or do. In case it's a Wikiproject this should probably moved to Wikiproject space – if we deem that this is useful. So far it appears that the page doesn't serve any purpose other than being a playground for two editors who have created similarly useless pages in project space, e.g. Wikipedia:Entertainment theater or Wikipedia:GAMEtxtNJD-DE (talk) 00:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to projectspace Keep it’s harmless, good-narured and at least appears to have a vaguely defined goal (which is um… peace). No real reason to delete it over other similarly dumb abortive projects like WP:concordia or the WP:volunteer fire department. Dronebogus (talk) 01:29, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The page is already located in project space and it doesn't belong there IMO since it seems to have little connection to Wikipedia. Both those pages you link to are ancient and date to the point when we were still figuring out how to run this place, both of them are also shut down and marked historical. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 02:22, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    And if you were proposing to turn this into a wikiproject - new wikiprojects really should go through the WP:WikiProject Council, who I am 99.99% sure would decline this for being complete and utter nonsense. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 02:36, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I was thinking of nominating this myself actually. This is another weird project space page made by TwentytwoAug/Copperwidth (I'm fairly certain both accounts are the same person) that seems to have no relation to Wikipedia and is borderline patent nonsense. This particular page seems to be some kind of crossover between a wikiproject, dispute resolution and wikilove? The text of the main page consists of a dictionary definition of what peace means, some famous peace related quotes and a selection of userboxes. There's no explanation at all what this organisation is actually supposed to be doing (apart from vague "spread the peace" rubbish) or why it's related to Wikipedia. The remaining subpages are almost completely blank and also contain no context as to what on earth this is supposed to be about, e.g. what on earth are you supposed to be pledging to do? I see no real reason to keep it, and the creator needs to stop making these odd pages in wikipedia space. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 02:22, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Noting for the record that Dronebogus has bypassed this MFD and copy-pasted the content to User:Dronebogus/Basement. This probably complicates this MFD, because despite there being a consensus to delete it here it will now probably have to be kept in some form for attribution/copyright purposes. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 22:55, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Move it to userspace and redirect it. Dronebogus (talk) 23:38, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Do you understand how copyright works when dealing with other people's contributions on wikipedia? You cannot just copy and paste other people's work - you need to provide proper attribution following the instructions at WP:Copying within Wikipedia. Even ignoring the copyright concerns your actions here are objectionable - if a deletion discussion is heading towards deleting something you want kept then copying and pasting it into your user space so that it cannot be deleted is purely disruptive. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 00:51, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • I did not intended it to be disruptive. I’ve deleted 90% of the content so now it presumably is fine under copyright requirements. Feel free to delete it. Dronebogus (talk) 18:11, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep as harmless. It is unlikely to reduce existing conflicts in Wikipedia, which are due largely to nationalism, but it is even more unlikely to worsen existing conflicts in Wikipedia. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:34, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Concur with 192.76 on the reasoning. I have no objection to userfying this if the originator actually put some real effort into defining what this is. -- Whpq (talk) 17:06, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per 192.76.8.70. Article creator appears to be more interested in creating weird new pages in projectspace than in building the actual encyclopedia. TwentytwoAug/Copperwidth has been blocked for socking and per WP:NOTHERE. --Finngall talk 00:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this nonsense page, per the reasons above. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:41, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
