This sandbox page is in about 50 categories. It's very large, over 607,000 bytes, and when I try to edit it either whole or by section to comment out the categories Wikipedia times out. I couldn't even add the MFD notice at the top of the page. The page itself is a garbled mess, and may be a collection of articles concerning Armenian subjects from which the editor was topic banned. The real issue for me is that I don't want that page in those categories and I can't fix it. Quale (talk) 22:46, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question: Have these concerns been raised with TheShadowCrow directly? Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It is not the cleanest, tidiest sandbox I have ever seen. But I see you have indeed edited the page to remove it from nearly all of the article categories (thank you) and, rest assured, your MFD notice is right there. Perhaps TheShadowCrow doesn't understand the problem. So, as well as informing of the MFD, it would be good to offer advice. Thincat (talk) 15:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Thanks for disabling the categories, I'll try to keep up with that. And I have Admin permission to use my sandbox. What does it matter if it's a mess? Editing is very difficult and I get bad connection too, but I get over it. Perhaps the pointless ban should just be removed? Most of it will be gone in less than a month anyway. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:37, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No longer contains any categories so, taking TheShadowCrow's statment at face value, no longer any reason to delete. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:46, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep With the nominator's specific objections addressed, there's no real reason to delete this legitimate sandbox. I'd seriously recommend splitting it into separate sandboxes, however. --BDD (talk) 07:40, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep Just came across this notice... There are a couple dozen drafts on this one page and I am in the process of splitting them all out into there own pages. Upon completion, page size and categorization won't be an issue any longer. Technical 13 (talk) 17:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
