More WP:BFDI crap

Draft:Carykh 118.149.80.216 (talk) 06:49, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Sure. Ignore it. Also, IPs should log in, or register, or stay out of projectspace. SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:29, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Okay, It's Apri1 1, but why does MfD have to be the clearing house?

The state of this Misplaced Pages space at 7am CDT is reprehensible and not acceptable even as a joke. BusterD (talk) 11:48, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

I fixed the markup error that caused almost all of MfD to be boldfaced... —Alalch E. 12:34, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
You think this is bad? Look at AfD. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 14:35, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
I hate being a debbie-downer, but yeah the effect wears off after 15(!) joke nominations. Like one or two that are actually creative, like WP:Articles for deletion/Glasses from a couple years ago, is fine. However, when none of the 15 are funny, then it quickly becomes annoying, and in the case of this page, it is actively hampering the real nominations. Curbon7 (talk) 22:18, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Agreed. This convention started out reasonable but gets more and more out of hand every year. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:11, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Something broken?

I've been trying to create a MFD discussion for Draft:Trish Leigh, but posting the initial {{mfd|1={{subst:Draft:Trish Leigh}}}} at the top of the draft seems to result in the entire article contents, rather than the link to the MFD discussion, being written into the template. Is something broken somewhere, or are the instructions wrong? AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:16, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

I could be wrong, but I think you're meant to paste literally "subst:FULLPAGENAME" without replacing FULLPAGENAME with the page name. You could probably also do "1=Draft:Trish Leigh" without the subst. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
Yes.—Alalch E. 18:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
Doh! I must have read the instructions at least five times, and still missed that. Thanks. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:34, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Seeking guidance

There are a number of drafts with the same issue that I believe are subject to deletion outside the usual guidelines of draft deletion. In each instance it's a case of WP:PUFFERY, and there has been no attempt to make the articles even remotely acceptable. They all either rely on one source (the generally unreliable Cage Match) or have no sources at all. The drafts are Future Wrestling Australia, New Horizons Pro Wrestling, Newcastle Pro Wrestling, Southern Hemeisphere Wrestling Alliance, Southern Territory Wrestling and Wrestle Rampage. I believe they are being maintained to provide the users of a record of the title reigns and they have no intention of submitting the drafts for review. I think only one was actually submitted and it was declined. This should be done as a job lot but I don't know how to do that, and I don't have the time to nominate them one by one.
