User:TheListUpdater/Anchor list (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
User:TheListUpdater/Bannister Mall (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) — already has an article
User:TheListUpdater/Forest Fair (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) — sentence ripped out of Cincinnati Mall
User:TheListUpdater/List of changed Virtual Console games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) — not likely to have an article


More WP:STALEDRAFTs from this user. Most of this content is either an ancient draft of an existing article, an article that was deleted, or just plain nonsense. All of these date back to about 2007 or 2008, and the user in question barely edits anymore. See also Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:TheListUpdater/Northland Center.

  • They may very well serve some purpose to their author—or to other editors—in the future, whether as an internal reminder, or a starting point, or a frame of reference, or for some other entirely unexpected reason. There is no deadline here and, unless userspace content is harmful, its handling should respect both the principle of least astonishment and the contributor's personal boundaries. As you say, the content in question here may be potentially misleading, so its public visibility should be minimized — and that may be adequately achieved through unindexing and collapsing of it in the sandbox.   — C M B J   09:05, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE soonish Since the user was noticed with the MFD tag, if they don't speak up within a reasonable period of time to offer a "purpose" for our consideration, then these 2007 stale/fake drafts amount to highway litter and should be cleaned up. Also I reject your characterization elsewhere of this mfd here as "random". If an untouched 2007 draft is not stale, what is? NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
