Wikipedia:Miscellany for 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:,^[a] Event: and the various Talk: namespaces
Userboxes, regardless of the namespace
File description pages when the file itself is hosted on Commons
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.

Notes

^ The vast majority of pages in the MOS: namespace are redirects, which should be discussed at RfD. MfD is only applicable for the handful of its non-redirect pages.

Before nominating a page for deletion

Before nominating a page for deletion, please consider these guidelines:

Deleting pages in your own userspace	If you want to have your own userpage or a draft you created deleted, there is no need to list it here; simply tag it with {{db-userreq}} or {{db-u1}} if it is a userpage, or {{db-author}} or {{db-g7}} if it is a draft. If you wish to clear your user talk page or sandbox, just blank it.
Deletions in draftspace	Unlike articles, drafts are generally not deleted solely due to lack of demonstrated notability or context. Drafts that have not been edited in six months may be deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G13 and do not need nomination here. Duplications in draftspace are usually satisfactorily fixed by redirection. If the material is in mainspace, redirect the draft to the article, or a section of the article. If multiple draft pages on the same topic have been created, tag them for merging. See WP:SRE. For further information on draft deletion, including when nomination here is appropriate, see WP:NMFD
Deleting pages in other people's userspace	Consider explaining your concerns on the user's talk page with a personal note or by adding `{{subst:Uw-userpage}} ~~~~` to their talk page. This step assumes good faith and civility; often the user is simply unaware of the guidelines, and the page can either be fixed or speedily deleted using {{db-userreq}}. Take care not to bite newcomers – sometimes using the {{subst:welcome}} or {{subst:welcomeg}} template and a pointer to WP:UP would be best first. Problematic userspace material is often addressed by the User pages guidelines including in some cases removal by any user or tagging to clarify the content or to prevent external search engine indexing. (Examples include copies of old, deleted, or disputed material, problematic drafts, promotional material, offensive material, inappropriate links, 'spoofing' of the MediaWiki interface, disruptive HTML, invitations or advocacy of disruption, certain kinds of images and image galleries, etc) If your concern relates to these areas consider these approaches as well, or instead of, deletion. User pages about Wikipedia-related matters by established users usually do not qualify for deletion. Articles that were recently deleted at AfD and then moved to userspace are generally not deleted unless they have lingered in userspace for an extended period of time without improvement to address the concerns that resulted in their deletion at AfD, or their content otherwise violates a global content policy such as our policies on Biographies of living persons that applies to any namespace.
Policies, guidelines and process pages	Established pages and their sub-pages should not be nominated, as such nominations will probably be considered disruptive, and the ensuing discussions closed early. This is not a forum for modifying or revoking policy. Instead consider tagging the page as {{historical}} and/or moving it into the historical archive, or redirecting it somewhere. Proposals still under discussion generally should not be nominated. If you oppose a proposal, discuss it on the policy page's discussion page. Consider being bold and improving the proposal. Modify the proposal so that it gains consensus. Also note that even if a policy fails to gain consensus, it is often useful to retain it as a historical record, for the benefit of future editors.
WikiProjects and their subpages	It is generally preferable that inactive WikiProjects not be deleted, but instead be marked as {{WikiProject status\|inactive}}, redirected to a relevant WikiProject, or changed to a task force of a parent WikiProject, unless the WikiProject was incompletely created or is entirely undesirable. WikiProjects that were never very active and which do not have substantial historical discussions (meaning multiple discussions over an extended period of time) on the project talk page should not be tagged as {{historical}}; reserve this tag for historically active projects that have, over time, been replaced by other processes or that contain substantial discussion (as defined above) of the organization of a significant area of Wikipedia. Before deletion of an inactive project with a founder or other formerly active members who are active elsewhere on Wikipedia, consider moving it into the historical archive, or userfication. Notify the main WikiProject talk page when nominating any WikiProject subpage, in addition to standard notification of the page creator.
Alternatives to deletion	Normal editing that doesn't require the use of any administrator tools, such as merging the page into another page or renaming it, can often resolve problems. Pages in the wrong namespace (e.g. an article in Wikipedia namespace), can simply be moved and then tag the redirect for speedy deletion using {{db-g6\|rationale= it's a redirect left after a cross-namespace move}}. Notify the author of the original article of the cross-namespace move.
Alternatives to MfD	Speedy deletion If the page clearly satisfies a "general" or "user" speedy deletion criterion, tag it with the appropriate template. Be sure to read the entire criterion, as some do not apply in the user space.

How to list pages for deletion

Shortcut

WP:MFDHOWTOWP:MFDHOWTO

Please check the aforementioned list of deletion discussion areas to check that you are in the right area. Then follow these instructions:

Instructions on listing pages for deletion:

To list a page for deletion, follow this three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page, including its namespace, to be deleted)

Note: Users must be logged in to complete step II. An unregistered user who wishes to nominate a page for deletion should complete step I and post their reasoning on Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion with a notification to a registered user to complete the process.

I.

Edit PageName:

Enter the following text at the top of the page you are listing for deletion:

{{mfd|1={{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}}}
for a second or subsequent nomination use {{mfdx|2nd}}

or

{{mfd|GroupName}}
if nominating several similar related pages in an umbrella nomination. Choose a suitable name as GroupName and use it on each page.

If the nomination is for a userbox or similarly transcluded page, use {{subst:mfd-inline}} so as to not mess up the formatting for the userbox.

Use {{subst:mfd-inline|GroupName}} for a group nomination of several related userboxes or similarly transcluded pages.

Please include in the edit summary the phrase
Added MfD nomination at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replace PageName with the name of the page that is up for deletion.
Please don't mark your edit summary as a minor edit.
Check the "Watch this page" box if you would like to follow the page in your watchlist. This may help you to notice if your MfD tag is removed by someone.
Save the page

II.

Create its MfD subpage.

The resulting MfD box at the top of the page should contain the link "this page's entry"

Click that link to open the page's deletion discussion page.
Insert this text:

{{subst:mfd2| pg={{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:PAGENAME}}||2}}| text=Reason why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
replacing Reason... with your reasons why the page should be deleted and sign the page. Do not substitute the pagename, as this will occur automatically.

Consider checking "Watch this page" to follow the progress of the debate.
Please use an edit summary such as Creating deletion discussion page for [[PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
Save the page.

III.

Add a line to MfD.

Follow and at the top of the list add a line:

{{subst:mfd3| pg=PageName}}
Put the page's name in place of "PageName".

Include the discussion page's name in your edit summary like
Added [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
Save the page.
If nominating a page that has been nominated before, use the page's name in place of "PageName" and add

{{priorxfd|PageName}}
in the nominated page deletion discussion area to link to the previous discussions and then save the page using an edit summary such as
Added [[Template:priorxfd]] to link to prior discussions.

If nominating a page from someone else's userspace, notify them on their main talk page.
For other pages, while not required, it is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the miscellany that you are nominating. To find the main contributors, look in the page history or talk page of the page and/or use TDS' Article Contribution Counter or Wikipedia Page History Statistics. For your convenience, you may add
{{subst:mfd notice|PageName}} ~~~~
to their talk page in the "edit source" section, replacing PageName with the pagename. Please use an edit summary such as
Notice of deletion discussion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the nomination page you are proposing for deletion.
If the user has not edited in a while, consider sending the user an email to notify them about the MfD if the MfD concerns their user pages.
If you are nominating a WikiProject, please post a notice at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council, in addition to the project's talk page and the talk pages of the founder and active members.

Draft:Betharia Sonata

Betharia Sonata exists. Need to delete this page to draftify the article currently in article space. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 16:49, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment or Question - I am not sure that I understand this request, but if I do understand it, it is an unnecessarily complicated request. The nominator appears to be saying that they need to delete the stub draft so that they can unilaterally move the existing article into its slot in draft space. If that is what they want, maybe they should nominate the article for deletion, with draftification of the article as an alternative to deletion, which would imply the deletion of the current stub draft. If they are satisfied with the current article, then a speedy redirect of the draft is in order, but that doesn't seem to be what they are requesting. Also, what does the nominator think is wrong with the article? Robert McClenon (talk) 19:29, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon: It appears that the creator first drafted this article and published it in mainspace, after which another editor draftified the article. Instead of improving the draft and submitting it through AFC, the creator then recreated the article in mainspace. Although the recreated version contains more information, it still lacks sufficient RS, and I would also draftify it myself if possible. However, this cannot be done while a draft version still exists, which is why the nominator is now requesting deletion of the draft. Ckfasdf (talk) 22:31, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:DJ ChWill Roscommon Rosé

This draft has been resubmitted twice now after being permanently rejected. There has been no proof of notability provided over multiple disruptive resubmissions, and the draft appears to be LLM-generated. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 02:48, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Tendentiously resubmitted after rejection. The submitter appears to be not here to contribute, but MFD is a content forum. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:32, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Update: It got resubmitted AGAIN after I nominated it. Seriously, take a hint. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 14:40, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate draft of Draft:Customer value management. BTW, both this draft and the other draft check out to be 100% AI/LLM produced. Please delete as a duplicate. Netherzone (talk) 19:14, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If this draft is unfiltered chatbot faeces, tag it for speedy deletion. Otherwise, Keep and let it time out. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 20:23, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Eric Ingram (aerospace entrepreneur)

Procedural nomination after Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2026 January 7. I will not express an opinion as to whether the draft should be deleted. JJP_{Mas_ter} (she/they) 17:08, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep : I don't like casting this !vote because I don't like this draft, but disliking a draft is not a reason to delete it. It is promotional, but only to the extent that a draft should be declined if submitted, not deleted. This draft should not have been disambiguated, and its disambiguation appears to be promotional. If it is kept, it should be moved to Draft:Eric Ingram. (It can't be moved until this discussion is closed. See the banner.) The question about artificial intelligence has not been answered; mere suspicion of being written by artificial intelligence should not be a reason to delete a draft. Having seen this draft, I respectfully disagree with the admin who previously deleted it as either G11 or G15. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:00, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Unremarkable draft, which like many drafts, is not ready for mainspace at this time (tone, sourcing) and may never be fit for mainspace (notability). However, absent other circumstances, that is not reason to delete a draft. Noting that there is an appropriately disclosed creator COI, some concern (at the DRV) about independence of sourcing and substantiveness of their coverage of the subject, a single failed AfC submittion (closely followed by the overzealous speedy deletion nomination), and some suspicion of LLM use but well below the standard of G15. From a Bayesian inference point of view, all these factors lead to low confidence that this will actually turn into an acceptable mainspace article. However, "unlikelihood" is not the standard we use in deleting drafts֫, and so there is no reason to delete this one. Martinp (talk) 03:01, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:State of South Arabia

WP:CRYSTAL, not to mention the dissolution of the Southern Transitional Council 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 14:03, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. With the dissolution of the STC, this article is no longer needed, even in draft form. I suggest we merge into Southern Transitional Council to preserve page history. Dn9ahx (talk) 15:42, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because no reason for deletion from draft space has been provided. Describing a "proposed state" is not crystal balling if the proposal has been published. Changes in the plans can be addressed by normal editing in draft space without the extreme measure of a deletion discussion. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:13, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we delete a draft for Crystal. That said, Dn9ahx appears to be the author of all substantive content and suggests it is no longer needed. Dn9ahx, as the author, if you write similar content elsewhere there is no need to preserve page history here for attribution. CMD (talk) 07:04, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Silly Things/Hamsteria

This is a page about some sort of fictional region which has been lingering in project space since 2005, when it was moved here after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamsteria was closed. Since about November 2024, the page seems to have attracted a number of editors with few or no edits outside of this page, and the page has changed drastically since then.

If any other page like this were to be created nowadays, it would most likely be speedily deleted as {{db-hoax}}. WP:NOTWEBHOST applies here, specifically Content for projects unrelated to Wikipedia. Do not store material unrelated to Wikipedia as this page has virtually no relation to Wikipedia itself aside from being created by a user with no other edits 20 years ago who has almost certainly matured and forgotten about this page by now. and I see no reason why we should make an exception for this page just because it's been around for 20 years. Delete. Sugar Tax (talk) 11:37, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Information about Hamsterberg and population size was removed. This article no longer meets WP:NPOV. It seems that it is only being used to advertise YouTube channels based in Hamsteria. Delete this article to avoid a lawsuit by the royal family of Hamsteria. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 11:58, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I'd be inclined to speedy this as G4, but given the time elapsed, that might be regarded as pointy. Better to have a formal discussion in which we can accurately describe this as just something somebody made up one day. If Wikipedia is a maze, this is one of the most remote dead ends. There's never been anything to preserve. Given the WP prefix, we should nuke this from orbit, just to be certain. BusterD (talk) 16:30, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a misuse of project space for something unrelated to the building and maintenance of an encyclopedia, and as inappropriate web hosting. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:04, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - G4 does not apply, because a page in project space is not substantially identical to a page in article space. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:04, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Some of the recent additions include photographs of living persons in a manner contrary to fact. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:04, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
As a potential alternative to deletion, we could roll back to a revision reflecting the original state of the page (perhaps Special:Permalink/554019770 or so, minus the image which has since been deleted) and protect to prevent further unproductive editing. But I'd be in favor of deletion; this isn't really all that funny. Omphalographer (talk) 18:35, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hamsteria approves of this alternative, so I approve as well. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 07:51, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as the person who effectively rescued this page back in October 2007 (which I'd forgotten about until now), I'm not quite sure what I was thinking when I paid it special attention while collating some April Fools' Day stuff. (Also see this earlier MFD about what was then "bad jokes and other deleted nonsense" for a bit of context; I liked some of the old pages there). Blame it on me being a dumb late-teenager at the time, or something. Now I'm older but no wiser. Graham87 (talk) 09:30, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete due to the person who moved it to BJAODN in the first place not wanting it anymore, and unconstructive edits, although Wikipedia:Silly Things/Outtakes of What Wikipedia is not had similar issues before it was moved into Silly Things and had most unconstructive edits mass-removed or even revdelled, but the page still exists. Xeroctic (talk) 16:33, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- Minor point: I moved it to "silly things", not BJAODN. If I hadn't done that, it would've eventually been deleted as a result of the BJAODN deletion discussion linked above. I'll ping the person who did move it to BJAODN though, because he's still editing. Graham87 (talk) 02:49, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  Thank you for the blast from the past, Graham87! It's nice to see there are still a few of us old-timers doing the rounds on MfD and AfD (or VfD, as it was called until three months earlier). Owen× ☎ 00:29, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is interesting, but not permitted. The pictures of the ships were apparently generated by artificial intelligence, and have been tagged for deletion on Commons. Labeling the article as fiction has avoided speedy deletion as a hoax, but does not make this a valid use of an encyclopedic project.

I'm not sure if this counts as a deletion rationale, but this page has an excessively long title which clogs up the search when looking for the real MFD. thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk | contributions 22:52, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Can Wikipedia:MfD/WP:MfD/WP:MfD/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Xaosflux/Requests for adminship/Wikipe-tan (2nd nom) also be added?

Comment: By nominating the pages for deletion, haven't you made the problem worse, @TheTechie? Chess enjoyer (talk) 05:39, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Move all somewhere else, otherwise keep all: A problem with the title of the page is a reason to move it, not delete it. These are humor pages, so a move shouldn't cause any disruption, and I have no preference for what title they should be moved to. However, the nominator's rationale also applies to this very MFD, and I'm not sure how to deal with that. (Also, I'm not sure what "real MFD" TheTechie is referring to, and would appreciate a link to it.) Wait, are you referring to MFD itself?

I see several similar nominations for ListeriaBot pages. On this one, while it looks like the bot is active, it has stopped updating this one. Maybe that means Will (Wiki Ed) no longer needs it? It looks like the duplication issue has been going on for some time, based on User_talk:ListeriaBot#List_duplication, but it's not happening on every page. e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Portugal. Broadly more an issue for the bot board, and if the issue is widespread enough the bot should be turned off until it's fixed. If the duplication weren't happening, I would see no problem with these lists requiring deletion, but yeah we don't need endlessly multiplying lists that become unusable (if anyone intended to still use them). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:16, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh. I figured it out. These lists don't have {{Wikidata list end}}. User error, not bot error. In that case keep and fix (unless we hear from the creator that they don't want it anymore). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:22, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  - The creators never noticed that the list gets added, and added, and added, and added... Highly unlikely that they actually need it. Fram (talk) 15:24, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    - Here is a Quarry query that lists all the pages that use the template {{Wikidata list}} but not {{wikidata list end}} - presumably they're all expanding to infinity. This is a fix it, not delete it issue. If any of the creators don't want them anymore, I'm fine to delete, but default to keep. Also, sort of tangentially, I would hope we would have a standard practice of turning off bot activity for userspace jobs of long-inactive users. If not, I'd be more supportive of just removing the templates from those pages and leaving them a static list. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:39, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
      Nope, this is a delete it, don't fix it situation, as it is clear that none of the page creators (of the ones I MFd'ed at least) checked the results after the first day or so. If they don't even look at the page, then why should we host it? Fram (talk) 16:00, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
      - Because "the person who created it hasn't looked at it in a while" is not one of the deletion criteria (and nothing is gained by deletion). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:10, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
        Why keep pages around that obviously (a shown by the evidence) have no interest to any editor, and have (as also shown) potential issues? Fixing the "append" issue still means that the bot will regularly update the page, but instead of appending it will overwrite. Why would we want to have a bot regularly update pages no one looks at? Fram (talk) 16:24, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
        As I said, I agree with turning off bot tasks in userspace of long-inactive users. Also would support the ability of other users to turn off this sort of bot in other namespaces, using some banner that says "this bot-maintained list has been deactivated as of [date]. if you want to restart the bot, [instructions]". But just a static page sitting there with no bot activity is as at worst neutral-nothing, and we need a reason to delete (not just a weakness of a keep reason). At best, someone does actually use it. It's very low stakes, and we're only adding to the amount of space/attention it takes up by having this whole additional discussion. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:41, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
        And yet you voted to keep these for long-inactive users as well. And if you believe this takes up too much of your space and attention, there is a very simple solution... Fram (talk) 09:50, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This is a fix it issue rather than delete it. I think that I have seen that deleting the sandbox that the bot is mindlessly (because it is a bat) dumping sand into will simply cause the bot to recreate the sandbox and resume dumping sand into it. I don't know the details of what the bot is doing, but the task entry for the bot needs to be deleted, rather than deleting the file that the bot is appending to. Just deleting this file will not solve the problem. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:29, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Offering an update here that @Guettarda helped me by updating the template code to prevent list duplication. I'll keep an eye on these pages to make sure that they stop duplicating. @Fram @Robert McClenon. I shared this comment on a few other deletion nominations, but I won't do it for all of them.

Even if the growth bug is fixed, it still is a page that isn't used (or else the bug would have been spotted a long time ago) but requires regular bot edits.

I just said I wasn't going to follow up on these further, but then I saw this: If it can be changed to be bot-populated on manual request only - The change is just to remove the template at the top. That would turn it into a static page. If anyone wants to resume bot edits, they can restore the template.

Would have been poor form to bundle this one with e.g. the equity pages, or the user sandbox, as the situation and outcome may be quite different. Which of course can't be addressed in a boilerplate keep... Anyway, if a page needs bot edits every few days, but hasn't been used since 2020, then what is the argument for actually keeping this? Wikipedia is not a free webhost for whatever someone fancied at one time, and using resources like this is wasteful. Fram (talk) 09:05, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As explained elsewhere, we need a reason to delete (which "there's a syntax error on the page" and "I don't think anybody is using it" do not qualify), not just an argument that the reason to keep is weak. The BLP concerns elsewhere aren't nothing (a result of weaker sourcing requirements on Wikidata), but they would be true of absolutely any ListeriaBot list of people, including e.g. every Women in Red list (that people do actually use). The bot issue is, again, a separate issue from deletion, and deletion is not how we solve for bot issues that can be fixed with a simple edit. FWIW I don't intend to follow up on these further. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:53, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The only simple edit that can solve the issue of "bot editing page every few days for page noone looks at" is by removing the bot code and making it a static page no one looks at. And the BLP issues with other pages are more serious than with most WiR pages, as they concern medical conditions or ethnicity, not just occupations (as with most of these WiR pages). And the WiR pages get actively looked at and issues (e.g. misgendering) normally get rapidly corrected (if my experience with them is still valid), while here BLP issues get posted to enwiki and no one acts on them.

Do you or anyone even use this page? No one noticed this issue since May 2024. Apart from that, the page contained and probably contains BLP violations, unsourced or badly claims of medical conditions for (non-notable or barely notable) BLPs. Do you have any way to stop these? Normally, an entry that someone without an article here or anywhere on another language Wikipedia, has a medical condition, would be deleted on BLP grounds. But in this case, deleting it would be pointless, as the bot would readd it soon afterwards anyway. If there is no plan or no means to exclude such entries, then the page should go.

Keep, easy fix - Would've been helpful if all these identical nominations would just be bundled together (or, really, absent any valid deletion rationale, just withdrawn), but see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Equity lists/Nationality/Seychelles for the discussion. A bunch of people forgot the closing tag, making the bot append rather than update the list. Whether the bot should stop running on some of these pages is not a matter for MfD. As it stands, these are pretty typical Wikidata-based lists, built either to explore content gaps or for personal curiosity about topics, and not meeting any of the criteria for deletion. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:58, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an identical nomination, but you added an identical text anyway. This editor has only edited in March, and only in their own userspace. We are not a free webhost, the page serves no purpose and requires regular bot editing for no benefit at all. Fram (talk) 09:08, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The easy fix is to delete.—Alalch E. 15:56, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

User:Endoheretic exoheretic

The User: space page resembling an article (→WP:FAKEARTICLE), but not promising any notability. It also looks like WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Apart form that, it's been created in 2011 and its author/owner has been inactive since. CiaPan (talk) 22:18, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Other than when a user is writing about themself, a user page that resembles an article is just called a userspace draft. WP:INDISCRIMINATE is a deletion justification for articles, not user pages. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:25, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Rhododendrites: I used 'indiscrimitate' as a hint that the contents is not likely to ever become an article. --CiaPan (talk) 22:47, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Delete editor only made two edits on Wikipedia, and then never can back. Catfurball (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Catfurball: Did you mean 'never came back'...? --CiaPan (talk) 22:47, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That is correct. Catfurball (talk) 22:53, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Userspace drafts do not have an expiration date. Userspace is for experimenting and drafting without affecting the encyclopedia. That it is not extremely valuable is all the more reason to ignore it rather than create a discussion about it IMO. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:08, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This is not just a userspace draft, it is a userpage draft, and those are not acceptable. They need to be moved out of userspace, or the page should be blanked. This page could have been blanked. Deletion is fine.—Alalch E. 15:54, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ankeli flourish

Wikipedia is not a web host for your creative writing. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:43, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as patent nonsense. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:40, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Move to be a usersubpage. The user responded at User talk:Ankeli flourish. WP:AGF. SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are plenty of places this user can post their romantic fan fiction; this isn't one of them. Omphalographer (talk) 04:09, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

User:Iich1960/Userboxes/No Ukraine

This userbox is hostile, divisive, and inflammatory. See WP:UBCR. Instead of showing support for a country (presumably Russia judging by the creators page), it advocates the effective destruction of another. ← Metallurgist (talk) 17:31, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Raises WP:GS/RUSUKR concerns as well. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:06, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per WP:G10. Completely inappropriate userbox. Sugar Tax (talk) 22:05, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral, but it is not G10 eligible. It is a typical political userbox describing the user’s opinion, and thus potential bias. Arguably, all politics could be banned, but this one is not so special. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:18, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Answer — The userbox simply reflects a desire for demilitarization, not any hostility. What's wrong with demilitarization? After all, it's a copy of an existing, similar userbox - User:Hermes Thrice Great/Userboxes/Demilitarization of Russia. If they were to be deleted, it would be for the same reason. The userbox name is also not original, taken from here — Template:User No Russia. Iich1960 (talk) 15:32, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of other problematic userboxes does not justify the existence of this one. Ill be happy to nominate that for deletion as well. ← Metallurgist (talk) 23:53, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Is the call for demilitarization "hostile, divisive, and inflammatory"? To me, it's a call for peace and a reduction in military tensions. Iich1960 (talk) 09:37, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as G10 if applicable, if not delete as clear, blatant WP:POLEMIC and possible WP:GS/RUSUKR issues. thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk | contributions 23:06, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

User:Simranchotani21

WP:NOTWEBHOST, WP:UP#NOT. Copy of the same content already exists in the user's sandbox, User:Simranchotani21/sandbox. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:42, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for a combination of reasons:
- Appears to be the product of artificial intelligence.
- An unreferenced biography of a living person.
- Written promotionally.
