The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was: draftify to Draft:Falsifiability of the theory of evolution. I will leave the redirect intact so the author can find it should they ever return. Anyone is free to do the necessary cleanup up and then promote it to the mainspace. Lastly, I will apply ((promising draft)) so that this draft will be free from time concerns as it will not be eligible for G13 (i.e. anyone wishing to delete this draft should return to this venue).

This is an abandoned draft, untouched by human hand for nearly a decade. The author appears to have left the building, but was active for some years after the last edit to this page, so it's unlikely this is of any use to anybody by now. Guy (Help!) 10:53, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak promote - this is a pretty well developed draft, with (seemingly) good references, I think it would do well as an article. The topic is discussed at Creation–evolution controversy#Falsifiability; with not too much work this could be a main article on that subtopic.

• Draftify - Move to draft space and User:Ivanvector or someone else can work on it or promote it. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:27, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really my area of expertise; moving it to Draft: would be better than moving it to my userspace, IMO. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:51, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to articlespace with cleanup – Apart from some overlapping quotes in common with talkorigins, this doesn't appear to be a copyvio or plagiarism, at least not on its surface. It's done well enough that I think IvanVector's suggestion that it become a SPINOFF of Evolution makes good sense. There's a bit of cleanup required to remove original editor's notes-to-self, but I expect this content would survive a deletion nomination. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:47, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to Mainspace there are a bunch of notes at the end that should go on the new talkpage but it's not going to get AfD'd. Legacypac (talk) 23:27, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Leave it where it is. Do not move to mainspace. It is a fair draft, but the current version is well over the WP:NOR line. OR is allowed in mainspace. There’s some ok stuff in it, especially if considering selective merging to existing articles. Draftspace is a slow deletion route, and this should not be deleted. At worst, use ((Inactive userpage blanked)). There are no time limits, inactive two years is not a good reason to delete someone’s userspace, doing so is obviously part of a self fulfilling prophecy of their non-return. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:53, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SmokeyJoe it is not is userspace it is already in mainspace as a subpage of Evolution's talkpage Legacypac (talk) 13:08, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Archive. It is OR, not for mainspace, but not needing deletion. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:43, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
