Draft from July 2008 of World War II. Ricky81682 (talk) 05:36, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete that war ended years ago, and an old version is no use for editing today anyway. Legacypac (talk) 05:54, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as unlikely needed. SwisterTwister talk 04:53, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to World War II - Redirection is less potentially disruptive and aggravating for the user than deletion and more clearly sends the message that the user should work on the mainspace version, not their userspace copy. Also, all things being equal, not deleting saves admin time. "Unlikely needed" is not and has never been a reason to delete drafts, much less drafts in someone's userspace.

- What policy based reason is there to redirect this? It just clutters up the inbound links to the article. If the user can't find their way to such a majo lr topic on wikipedia to edit it, I hope they don't edit anything here. Legacypac (talk) 18:20, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to mainspace article. This is the standard way to deal with a duplication in userspace. Please read the instructions at the top of the "Miscellany for deletion" page (the page you are looking at now): "Note that we do not delete user subpages merely to "clean up" userspace. Please only nominate pages that are problematic under our guidelines." And under WP:STALE, stale drafts should only be deleted if "problematic even if blanked," which is not true here.Fagles (talk) 13:20, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
