Previous MfD closed as No Consensus as there were no !votes made, so relisting for the same reason as my previous MfD JMHamo (talk) 19:09, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to John Coates (naval architect). There was never a good reason for bringing this to MfD. See busywork. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:26, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment @SmokeyJoe: Are you being serious? This has not been edited since 14 July 2010, making it extremely stale. Do you really think User:HenryRudge is intending to sign back in and resume working on the draft? JMHamo (talk) 22:31, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, quite.
• What do you think "stale" means? Is there any discrimination? Do you intend to bring everything old through MfD? Have you considered the numbers and the absurdity of that?
• Yes, I really think that User:HenryRudge could return, and that the possibility of it should be assumed. No, AGF please, obviously he is not going to work on the draft if when he goes to his old book mark it takes him to the article. On the other hand, if he returns to find his contribution history deleted with a completely non-personable minimal explanation, he will probably never return again. There is no project benefit to this cleanup via MfDing everything, but there is Wikipedia:Editors matter damage done. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - @SmokeyJoe: If it can't be G6 speedily deleted, then yes, I do intent to send everything else old to MfD over the years, as there is WP:NORUSH. It's not just me involved in Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts, we'll make a good dent in the numbers. JMHamo (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• You can achieve the same thing by blanking unneeded drafts. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:11, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy G7 per the author's talk page response to the first MFD notification [1] Meters (talk) 22:48, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The author gave us permission to delete his forgotten draft on Feb 1 and we're relisting it and arguing about it? busywork indeed. Meters (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per G7 and U1. The authors note was unnoticed. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:11, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
