Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion

Skip to: Table of contents / current discussions / old business (bottom). Purge this page

WP:MFDWP:MFD

Please do not nominate your user page (or subpages of it) for deletion here. Instead, add {{db-userreq}} at the top of any such page you no longer wish to keep; an administrator will then delete the page for you. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § G7 for more information.

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.
Duplications in draftspace?	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.
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 policy as {{historical}} 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 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 this edit link 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.

November 10, 2025

User:BB MISC

This could loosely be considered as Advocacy or support of grossly improper behaviours with no project benefit as per WP:UPNOT. This user page has been edited by multiple accounts over the years, all of whom seem to be WP:NOTHERE. While Wikipedia is not censored, a user page consisting entirely of inappropriate and homophobic banter since 2007, to me, is something not closely aligned with Wikipedia's goals. This probably would have been eligible for WP:U5 before it was made obsolete. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:39, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Meena Kurian

While I generally support these pages being created for extremely persistent abusers, the off-wiki evidence I've seen makes me think that memorializing them isn't beneficial for their well-being, and besides, their vandalism is obvious in most cases and they'll eventually end up being blocked. We can always undelete this if the abuse becomes insurmountable, which isn't the case now. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 02:25, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or at the very least, blank per DENY - their vandalism isn't really subtle, nor is it some kind of POV-pushing. It's easily recognizable without the page. Jellyfish (mobile) (talk) 02:46, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or blank per WP:DENY, per above. - Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 06:16, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The nominations of these pages for deletion based on denying recognition is a Streisand effect because MFD is much more visible than long-term abuse files. The creation and maintenance of these files should be limited to Checkusers and SPI clerks. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:47, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - back when I created the page a year ago, the user's edits more so weren't obvious, blatant vandalism but were harder to detect as many could be interpreted as good-faith competence issues [1][2][3][4], and they did not engage in much of the obvious trolling vandalism that they do engage in now but were still persistent and disruptive. And still, many of their edits are not blatantly obvious vandalism to this day; [5] [6] could be interpreted as good-faith unsourced changes by users unfamiliar with this case. If consensus states that the page isn't needed though, I'm fine with deleting or blanking it. ~delta ^{(talk • cont)} 17:12, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

November 9, 2025

User:Mustaheer

I would have tagged for WP:G11 but the initial revision was not that promotional. Every revision has been an unsourced BLP, though. Despite one attempt to remove some of the promotion, this page has since been used as a violation of WP:NOTCV/WP:NOTWEBHOST. In any case, delete this unsourced self-promo BLP. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:47, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I am generally predisposed to give en.wp contributors a lot of latitude what they can put in their userspace. A 10 year old abandoned unsourced BLP, presumably an autobiography, by someone who have made no other contributions to wp, is not it. Martinp (talk) 20:25, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As an unsourced BLP. SmokeyJoe (talk) 20:44, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Speedy Delete as U6. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:39, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:Robert McClenon, it’s not a subpage, so it’s not eligible for G6. SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:59, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Smshoaib

Attempts to blank the content and to CSD the page have been contested previously. In my view, this user page should be deleted for violating WP:NOTCV and for being an unsourced BLP. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:37, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I support giving wide latitude to Wikipedians regarding what they use their userspace for, but being here in good faith is a prerequisite. It's been 14 years and this person has no contributions outside of this page. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:51, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Rhododendrites and my reasoning on the MFD immediately above this one. In this instance, it seems this was actually created in article space, userfied, and sat here untouched for years. Martinp (talk) 20:28, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Speedy Delete as U6. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:38, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cookie5886/Sample page

Hoax, no such person. Paradoctor (talk) 18:27, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It's a sandbox. If I edit my sandbox and type "blue is red" I'm not creating a hoax, I'm experimenting/learning. There aren't many reasons we'd delete something in a sandbox (BLP violations, copyright violations, etc.). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:53, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTWEBHOST content, looks like an outline for a Powerpoint presentation Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:49, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With CSD U5 gone, this looks to be the correct place to put this. Non-contributor using English Wikipedia as a webhost for a personal essay. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:11, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear that I have not contributed is simply said a lie, look at my https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Dark+Flow&namespace=0&tagfilter=&start=&end=&limit=50

I even have submitted, and I am editing this new article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:UK_Cyber_and_Electromagnetic_Command Dark Flow (talk) 09:10, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add that I am not totally opposed to the deletion of my user page. In fact I had too much fun editing it, made too many jokes and it was and is all rubbish, and none of the edits would be understood by average people either,lol. The history of it would better be deleted as well ! Dark Flow (talk) 11:39, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want the page deleted, you can put {{db-u1}} at the top and an admin should delete it rather quickly. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 11:46, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Pythoncoder , really ? Would that also delete the history ? Dark Flow (talk) 12:07, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it would delete the page and its history. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 12:09, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I will consider doing so in the next time, and later have an attempt to restore it appropriately with official Wikipedia:Department_of_Fun insignia such as File:Ambox humor.svg .

I think I can say you have an excellent user page, it just hit the right tone the banners already convinced me it is worth it to read, a compensation for never having had the time to see Monty Python's flying circus ! Dark Flow (talk) 13:43, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this bizarre essay - See What may I not have in my user pages?. In particular, the first box is headed: Content, discussions, or activities that are not directly related to Wikipedia's goals. and the fourth bullet says: Extensive writings and material on topics having virtually no chance whatsoever of being directly useful to the project, its community, or an encyclopedia article. This is extensive, and will never be applicable to the Wikipedia project, its community, or any encyclopedia article. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:01, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Robert McClenon , you mean the critique of the German Government of the nation that citizenship I have ? Dark Flow (talk) 18:36, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I meant critique of the German Government ? Dark Flow (talk) 18:37, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You are right, I should start blogging somewhere else, about how it is to have to be fool my entire life for the amusement of some who refer to themselves as Teutonic as in DE, probably by mistake. Just because social Darwinist prefer to live in a world where humans can be categorized into more or lesser valuable humans by just and only their CV !

I got it,psychologically maybe sound on the surface, but probably not health in the long run ? but I guess you made the false assumption that I was fine with my edits and user page. I just edited that much on it to cover up the catastrophic edits I made before ! Dark Flow (talk) 10:19, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - See Drafts are not deleted for notability. Drafts are declined for lack of notability. This is not, in my opinion, a useless draft, but also see Leave Useless Drafts Alone for an estimate of how badly overworked MFD would be if 5% or 10% of all drafts were nominated for deletion. Abandoned drafts are automatically deleted in six months, so that human nominations at MFD are not helpful. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:24, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:SkamidaZoltar/sandbox

WP:NOTWEBHOST: "user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia." This page contains a bunch of lyrics of unkown copyright status containing what appear to be features. Even if best scanerio that these are the user's lyrics, they contain features which are of unkown copyright status. Either way, this is entirely unencyclopedic from a mostly noncontributer. -1ctinus📝🗨 15:19, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - It's a sandbox, and the user has been playing in the sand. We should only consider deleting sandboxen if there is clearly something troublesome with them, not if there is nothing obviously right with them. (Sometimes the plural of 'box' is 'boxen'.) Robert McClenon (talk) 18:57, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see this as troublesome, as the page hosts a bunch of blatantly unencyclopedic lyrics.

Sorry for not really explaining a rationale, so I'll quote the rationale. My apologies.

Lyrics are especially problematic since their copyright status is unknown. -1ctinus📝🗨 20:11, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I have not reviewed the lyrics in detail, but some of them are almost certainly copyrighted. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, even if no one else on the Internet takes copyright seriously. We have the choice of reviewing the lyrics and redacting all of the copyvio content or of redacting all of the content by deleting the sandbox. The latter is too tedious and has no value-added, so we should delete this sandbox as largely copyvio. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:47, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
