Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CoolReader

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Procedural closure. As everyone in this discussion, as well as 31.79.208.54 noticed, the correct venue for discussing this page is WP:RFD. It is not appropriate to blank a redirect's page in order to bring it to AFD instead of RFD. flowing dreams (talk page) 08:05, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Empty page, previous revision which was a redirect is incorrect. Petilil (talk) 12:05, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. This article meets the criteria for speedy deletion, more specifically "A3. No content". LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 12:20, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really too much to ask for those commenting here to glance at the article history? Phil Bridger (talk) 09:52, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Phil Bridger: Believe me, I looked at the article history. Since it was blanked, I assumed that the redirect is no longer necessary and it should be removed. My mistake then, so I am changing my vote. It would have cost you nothing to point out the mistake. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 16:59, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

People calling for the speedy deletion of pages are expected to have a minimal level of knowledge of Wikipedia's procedures, which includes knowing that WP:A3 does not apply to redirects, or even to articles when there is content in the history.

Keep, procedural keep, that is. Please note that the article was blanked by the nom right before nomination. Blanking like this is not allowed. In fact the "article" was a redirect, so this should really be at redirects for discussion WP:RFD rather than AfD. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:54, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep as this is the wrong venue. If you want this to be deleted then go to WP:RFD. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:52, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Changed vote. It was a mistake, should have voted "keep". Redirect should be discussed at WP:RFD. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 16:59, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
