Wikipedia:Requested moves/Misplaced XfDs

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. Not edited since 2019, and appears to have been forgotten.

This is a list of misplaced XfDs that need to be moved to the correct XfD board that is in use as of now. The purpose of doing this is to aid search. Nominations made at now-obselete forums are likely to go unaccounted while creating a new nomination.

Pages that have been moved shall automatically disappear from this list. Bare nominations (nominations without any discussion or closure, usually with a single line of editing history) may be deleted under CSD G6.

How to help edit

Please be thoroughly familiar with Wikipedia's various present and past deletion discussion processes.
In all cases except VfD, deletion discussions that ended in a speedy closure (procedural close, 'wrong venue' close, speedy keep or speedy delete) should not be renamed.
Emphasis should be on renaming pages correctly rather than renaming quickly.

Votes for deletion edit

Deletion discussions at VfD should be moved to AfD or MfD as appropriate. In rare cases, there may be an AfD page already occupying where the VfD page is to be moved to. Assuming that the VfD discussion is older, move the VfD to the title of the form "Articles for deletion/Example (0th nomination)" and leave a signed {{hatnote}} at the AfD noting the existence of the 0th nomination. Done a few miscellaneous historical places left, but these can stay where they are.

Talk pages edit

Done A handful of orphans fixed, the rest are attached to pages above and should be moved when they are.

Pages for deletion edit

Done All the pages have been moved, labeled or updated as necessary.

Miscellaneous deletion edit

Done All subpages have been moved to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion.

Non-main namespace pages for deletion edit

Done All pages moved to the corresponding title beginning with "Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion".

Non-article content at AfD edit

In 2010, the use of SmackBot to move all VFD nominations to AfD also resulted in the deletion nominations of templates, categories and files being moved. These pages should be moved to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion or Wikipedia:Files for discussion.

Templates, categories and files at MfD edit

Deletion discussions of templates, categories and files at MfD should be moved to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion or Wikipedia:Files for discussion. This should not be done, however, if the result of the nomination here was a speedy close, which can be a procedural close, 'wrong venue' close, speedy deletion, or speedy keep. Also, note that userboxes and citations in the template namespace do belong here.
