Not-quite-speedy Keeps
  • Not precisely a speedy keep as the above pages, but boldly removed from the MfD by Salvidrim to avoid muddling things. Renominate separately if strongly desired. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 14:50, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how much good faith went behind the nom itself, but we don't just cleanup-delete entire userspaces because the user got banned. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 18:01, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I cleaned up up the drafts and sandboxes, salvaging what I could and removing them from the MfD; they can be renominated separately if needed. The redirects left behind can be taken to RfD if you feel strongly about them but I believe they are thoroughly non-harmful. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 14:50, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete userboxes per above. Delete sandboxes and drafts as stale/unused. Compare the sandbox/Drew University and sandbox 5 with Drew University and When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd, for example, and you can see that these are among drafts have already been moved to main space. The drafts that have not already been moved are early outlines with little to no actual content. Harrymph (talk) 09:44, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I actually have no objections to deleting/redirecting-to-article the individual drafts if an article for the topic already exists (just make sure to see if a histmerge is necessart first). For the numbered sandboxes, I volunteer to curate them myself to see if any content that doesn't exist elsewhere can be salvaged (and copy it with attribution to a draft), then merge CH's personal workshop content into the main sandbox. I doubt this would be controversial (other than the fact I'd be playing around someone else's userspace), so I may go ahead and do this irregardless of the MfD, since I think the content relevant to the MfD is mostly the userboxes and the user essay. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 13:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
