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 redirect. However, as it is the user's primary userpage, this isn't entirely practical, so I instead placed the standards old MfD notice and included a link to the article. (non-admin closure) Oiyarbepsy (talk) 20:38, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2007 WP:UP#COPIES that is now at List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens and its various subpages. Ricky81682 (talk) 09:58, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Worthy edit history. Or at least I can't see what it is a copy of. But do convert to a redirect, or blank noting List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens in the edit summary. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:52, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have to look at the separate articles in detail. The first listing, for Abzorbaloff, is at List_of_Doctor_Who_universe_creatures_and_aliens_(0–9,_A–G)#A, Auton is at Autons now, the Beast is at List_of_Doctor_Who_villains#Beast, and so on. None of that page is sourced. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:04, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The history of the page shows User:Xdt building it from nothing. It does not look like a copy, or fork, of anything. Neither can I see that it was deleted elsewhere. So I can't see how you say WP:UP#COPIES applies. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's today. The list did not exist in 2007; it was created itself in 2011 looking very similar to this. It's closer to userspace copy of the 2007 version of this page. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:09, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What I don't understand, is it (1) an early form of the mainspace page which carries content from a copy-paste, or (2) a content fork subsequently unused. (1) means it should be inspected for attribution failures that need to be fixed, and no need for deletion but some cleanup should be done now that we are here. (2) means that it should be deleted as an attribution hazard. Alternatively, noting that trying to work it out makes my head hurt, none of these lists contain any creative content anyway, nothing needs to be done, but blanking the userpage as redundant to mainspace pages is very sensible. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:15, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No value to the encyclopaedia in keeping. JMHamo (talk) 23:24, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as no value to the project and per nom. Legacypac (talk) 18:39, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Redirect to List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens. This is the standard way to deal with a duplication in userspace. Please read the instructions at the top of the "Miscellany for deletion" page (the page you are looking at now): "Note that we do not delete user subpages merely to "clean up" userspace. Please only nominate pages that are problematic under our guidelines." And under WP:STALE, stale drafts should only be deleted if "problematic even if blanked," which is not true here.Fagles (talk) 13:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
