Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

This is Lua code created in a non-Lua recognized page content model. Creating this this way creates unnecessary WP:LINT errors which there is a coordinated effort to eliminate from en.wiki. Since the user isn't interested in solving this, I've bourght it here. Lua sanboxes should be created per Module:Sandbox at Module:Sandbox/CLalgo/, so this should be moved to Module:Sandbox/CLalgo/RoundN. Gonnym (talk) 07:33, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Is this a module? Modules go to TfD, not MfD. SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- It is a user page that hosts a module sandbox. Userpages go here. Gonnym (talk) 08:53, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. No reason to delete as a Userpage, there is no violation of WP:UPNOT or WP:NOT, and leeway in userspace is very large for highly productive contributors. SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:55, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Did you even read my nomination? A bit concerning the complete lack of relevancy your comment had to it. It was not proposed to be deleted and it did address an actual issue with its location. Gonnym (talk) 15:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. The page is in my userspace and was used as a sandbox for Module:RoundN. As the module grew apart from the sandbox, it is currently useless. Delete it for now, and I'll create a new sandbox if a need arise. CLalgo (talk) 14:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Removing a page on the basis of a syntax error is unjustified. I agree that there is a Fostered content error on the page, and I agree that Module space is the better namespace for it, but MFD does not feel like the correct course of actions to have taken for remedying the situation. And ditto SmokeyJoe's comments of Userpage/userspace. Zinnober9 (talk) 18:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Out of principle. Nominator does not provide a valid rationale for deletion, and my understanding is that de-WP:LINTer bots can be told to ignore specific pages. If the creator wishes for the page to be deleted, they are welcome to tag it with WP:G7. Curbon7 (talk) 22:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Extremely poor word choice by the deleting admin, who should know better; the U1 portion is fine, but everything after the semicolon amounts to a WP:SUPERVOTE. Curbon7 (talk) 20:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - Tempest, meet teapot. Teapot, meet tempest..
- Weak Keep unless someone can explain, in language that can be understood by someone whose computer science degree was issued in 1980, what this is about. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- I deleted the page per the user request at 14:41, 23 June 2024 above. The page was a copy of 28 May 2022 permalink from Module:RoundN. The nomination correctly explains that if a sandbox is wanted, it should be at Module:Sandbox/CLalgo/RoundN. I'll leave this unclosed to see if anyone wants to comment further but after a few hours, someone might like to try closing this. Johnuniq (talk) 03:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- The explanation is not good, and I can’t see why it is correct. MfD is often attempted to be used to harass other editors, by threatening to delete their idle records, which is not ok. SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- I take your point that MfD has been used for harassment but I don't think that applies in this case. At any rate, the creator CLalgo asked for deletion above so it seemed unnecessary to require the preferred {{db-author}} tagging and/or moving this to the correct TfD page.
