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: speedy deleted by Bbb23. Bbb23 has deleted this page as G6, which covers pages created in error, which the talk page was. However, this page has turned into an argument haven over CSD G6 which was obviously passed with consensus. To prevent further arguments which are a waste of time, I have withdrawn this discussion, as the page in question has already been deleted, and there is no point keeping this MFD around.

Talk page for IP who has never edited. Only has a help me request from a logged in editor. If you reply here, please ping me. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. No harm. I’ve followed the help request poster. Deleting their edit history is a negative. SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete as WP:U2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlwoodwa (talk • contribs) 07:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete as WP:U2, No reason for the talkpage to exist given the IP's not made one contribution here. –Davey2010Talk 13:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Tagged. Thanks! thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:17, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Speedy Delete as U2. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I'm with SmokeyJoe on this. It is a perfectly legitimate request for help, posted by a new editor who accidentally posted it in the wrong place. Moving it to somewhere else, such as that editor's user talk space, would make sense, but deleting it would confer no benefit whatever, and would lose editing history of the editor's attempt to get help.

     Done moved[1], I've also include the IP in the edit summary, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and tag with {{moved to}}. Per JBW, deleting the page would lose the edit history of the editor who posted there for help, while deleting it wouldn't provide a benefit that I can see. All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 23:21, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • History merge and Delete this is the talk page of an IP user that hasn't edited. U2 says it needs to go. History shouldn't be an issue when WP:HISTMERGE is an option Nickps (talk) 21:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As per Nickps, the history can be merged. This seems to address the primary concern for those who want the page kept. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:40, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question (my opinion may change based on the answer but I think I have no opinion on histmerge). Mostly for full context and future cases: Does the IP have any deleted contributions? (I think an admin is needed to answer that question.) Does that change if U2's IP clause, except user pages for IP users who have edited, would exclude this page? Skynxnex (talk) 13:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please answer the question from Skynxnex. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:04, 13 May 2024 (UTC) (delete this when done)[reply]

I've deleted the IP talk page per WP:G6. This MfD is a waste of time. Doesn't matter much, but the IP had no deleted contributions.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A pretty flagrant abuse of G6.
If you don’t like this MfD, why invest in it? SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SmokeyJoe Not really, G6 says Deleting pages unambiguously created in error or in the incorrect namespace and this page was created in error. Bbb23 is an admin and it doesn't make sense for them to "abuse" G6. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 15:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
