Draft of a proposal created by an indef-blocked user in 2014. No activity since then. KMF (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea, because the historical template keeps it in project-space but prevents the inclusionists from abusing it. KMF (talk) 04:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any evidence of such abuse? 142.160.131.202 (talk) 04:33, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, there's no such evidence of abuse according to the revision history. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 11:29, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
On MFD, it is abused as an excuse to !vote keep on nominations of promotional drafts that wouldn't stand a chance in mainspace. KMF (talk) 21:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't answer the question: where is the evidence of such abuse? This would seem to suggest that there isn't any. 142.160.131.202 (talk) 02:57, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:01, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. This page in fact correctly describes the state of our current policies. I plan a new project-space essay on the topic, and will surely link to this now that I know of it. I will also expand this proposal. Deletign proposals because you disagree with them is blatantly improper. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 23:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nom clearly listed it because it was created by a blocked user, not because they disagreed with it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:27, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As long as it was created before the block, that the user was later blocked is irrelevant, and not a valid reason to delete. But I was referring to the comments of KMF above that this is being "abused" DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 16:27, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete it is very incomplete and therefore misleading. SmokeyJoe's comment on the talk page does not make sense to me anyway. Basically this page is just not worth keeping around as it adds nothing new to the discussion. Legacypac (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
