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. [[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 17:33, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Also:

*[[Template:ScienceFacts]]
*[[Template:WikipediaOverview]]

* 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 {{vd}} at this time. [[User:Computer Fizz|Computer Fizz]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk: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! :) [[User:Drbogdan|Drbogdan]] ([[User talk:Drbogdan|talk]]) 20:47, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
: {{ping|Drbogdan}} In that case, you may want to tag the original pages with G7. [[User:Computer Fizz|Computer Fizz]] ([[User talk:Computer Fizz|talk]]) 21:31, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
::{{ping|Computer Fizz}} - Thanks for your comment - not sure re G7 (newbie w/ some of this) - tag pages w/ => {{tn|sd}} - or something else? - iac - Enjoy! :) [[User:Drbogdan|Drbogdan]] ([[User talk:Drbogdan|talk]]) 21:40, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
::: {{ping|Drbogdan}} Yes, just go and add <code><nowiki>{{qd|g7}}</nowiki></code> to the top of all of the template pages. Does this answer your question? [[User:Computer Fizz|Computer Fizz]] ([[User talk:Computer Fizz|talk]]) 21:48, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
::::{{re|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,--[[User:Camouflaged Mirage|Camouflaged Mirage]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk: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. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 14:11, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
