User:Adammw/Sandbox/List of characters in The Simpsons[edit]

Userspace copy of List of The Simpsons characters from around April 2011. Seems to have been for some test linking but the editor has been inactive for more than a year now. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blank as is standard for a duplicate article that someone might come back and want to work on. Hobit (talk) 05:10, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you want to encourage anyone to work on a duplicate? It seems like encouraging them to waste time. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:45, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are lots of people here who do lots of things that are just a waste of time. Not our job to stop them. And we all have different ideas of time wasting. I think that trying to clear out user space of stale drafts and the like wastes a LOT of people's time (and probably is a net negative for the encyclopedia), but folks can still do it.

Blanking does not encourage them to work on what was blanked - I would imagine it certainly discourages it. But it leaves them the option of working on it, which is their prerogative.

Blank with ((Userpage blanked)) per Hobit and my comment above. A2soup (talk) 18:48, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
