Djsasso has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Not appropriate for article space. Was deleted on en.wiki for basically the same reason... Essentially essay like material. DJSasso (talk) 17:33, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Also:

• Template:ScienceFacts
• Template:WikipediaOverview

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

• I'd be okay with moving this into the author's userspace if he wants, but I don't see why this is a template, so File:Symbol delete vote.svg Delete at this time. Computer Fizz (talk) 18:26, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

• Yeah I should note I am ok with that as well. That was the solution over on en.wiki too I think for all 3. -DJSasso (talk) 18:27, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

• FWIW - As OA of the pages - yes - *entirely* agree - ok with me to delete the pages - as suggested, newly created pages have been created at "User:Drbogdan/ScienceFacts" and "User:Drbogdan/ScienceNews" and "User:Drbogdan/WikipediaOverview" - please feel free to use these new pages if interested - in any case - hope this helps in some way - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 20:47, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@Drbogdan: In that case, you may want to tag the original pages with G7. Computer Fizz (talk) 21:31, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@Computer Fizz: - Thanks for your comment - not sure re G7 (newbie w/ some of this) - tag pages w/ => {{sd}} - or something else? - iac - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 21:40, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@Drbogdan: Yes, just go and add {{qd|g7}} to the top of all of the template pages. Does this answer your question? Computer Fizz (talk) 21:48, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@Auntof6: I noticed you denied the page sole creator G7. There is a consensus here that this can be G7. Can you just allow the author wishes? Regards,--Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:35, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

If no one has said keep in the rfd and he is the sole contributor then it can G7 but since I nominated it I won't take action. -DJSasso (talk) 10:40, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Part of the G7 criterion is "created by mistake". This was created five months ago: page creators usually know sooner if it was a mistake, and if it was a mistake they don't update it so many times after creation. The better option might be to close this RFD early if people are anxious to get the page deleted. --Auntof6 (talk) 13:50, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

It's not a big deal, but a mistake doesn't really have a time limit for when they realized it was a mistake. Generally if a user is the only author of a page they can have it speedied. Time or number of edits never really comes into it. -DJSasso (talk) 14:11, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 17:33, 24 January 2020 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.
