Skip to: Table of contents / current discussions / old business (bottom). |
Please do not nominate your user page (or subpages of it) for deletion here. Instead, add {{db-userreq}} at the top of any such page you no longer wish to keep; an administrator will then delete the page. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for more information. |

Proposed deletion |
Miscellany for deletion (MfD) is a place where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic pages in the namespaces which aren't covered by other specialized deletion discussion areas. Items sent here are usually discussed for seven days; then they are either deleted by an administrator or kept, based on community consensus as evident from the discussion, consistent with policy, and with careful judgment of the rough consensus if required.
Filtered versions of the page are available at
Information on the process
What may be nominated for deletion here:
- Pages not covered by other XFD venues, including pages in these namespaces: Draft:, Help:, Portal:, MediaWiki:, Wikipedia: (including WikiProjects), User:, TimedText:, MOS: (in the unlikely event it ever contains a page that is not a redirect or one of the 5 disambiguation pages) and the various Talk: namespaces
- Userboxes, regardless of the namespace
- Any other page, that is not in article space, where there is dispute as to the correct XfD venue.
Requests to undelete pages deleted after discussion here, and debate whether discussions here have been properly closed, both take place at Wikipedia:Deletion review, in accordance with Wikipedia's undeletion policy.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:The AfroLit Project |

The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 14:14, 24 October 2024 (UTC) Newly created WikiProject that didn't follow the WikiProject Council recommendations and only has two members. No discernable activity since the project page was created three months ago. The topic could be covered under existing projects like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa and/or Wikipedia:WikiProject Literature. – Joe (talk) 19:53, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:AAAAAA! |
---|
The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 23:40, 21 October 2024 (UTC) Page serving no obvious purpose. This page, whose entire text consists of "AAAAAA!" just as the title implies, was created in March with the {{humor}} template on it from the outset -- but precisely because anybody could just add that template to absolutely anything in projectspace (e.g. failed drafts, total nonsense, hoaxes, etc.) that they wanted to "immunize" against deletion, the use of that template has traditionally required a consensus to be established that the page warranted retention on the grounds of humor.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/TimedText:It's just a burning memory - sample.ogg.en.srt |
---|
The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 14:15, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
This is the subtitle track for the song "It's Just a Burning Memory", which samples the song "Heartaches". Though the latter song does have lyrics, the former does not, making this TimedText page rather confusing. The syllable-by-syllable additions are also rather poor for accessibility, but that can be handled through regular editing even if this is kept. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 02:44, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Aramea |
---|
The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 23:46, 29 September 2024 (UTC) WikiProject Aramea was created in 2015, and through viewing the edit history, has rarely seen any edits or discussion on creation or editing of articles since that time. Additionally, many of its formerly active members were sockpuppet accounts of users that have since been blocked indefinitely. The WikiProject itself is almost an exact carbon copy of WikiProject Assyria, with the same sections, graphics, and layout. I am proposing that the WikiProject be deleted as it essentially acts as a content fork, which is one of Wikipedia's criteria for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Surayeproject3 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Michael Jester/St. Louis Cardinals all-time roster (A) |
---|
The result of the discussion was: redirect to St. Louis Cardinals all-time roster. While not apparent from the boldfaced recommendations, there is majority support for redirecting in this discussion, and the concern that this is an old copy of a mainspace page has been contested, and it is not obvious that it is a copy.

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:37, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
This is a horrible "template" that makes the simple process of adding or following discussions on a talk page, extremely hard. It's also a duplicate of the Wikipedia:Tip of the day for no reason at all. Compare the current version of Wikipedia talk:Tip of the day to this version. While projects can style their project pages how they want (within reason), the talk pages should be as simple as needed. Gonnym (talk) 13:51, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Unclear what has changed since Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern African Music & Sound. The few new editors that just signed up to Wikipedia is hardly a sign this project will survive. At best that needs to be a task force (if even that). Gonnym (talk) 18:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
