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 of the debate was Keep the rewrite article and merge into Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil. I'm closing the discussion early since no-one wants an article deleted through AFD any more, and so that Milena Popovic, Rx StrangeLove, or another editor can proceed with the merge.

[edit] Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil/Temp

This was clearly a test page, and there's a good article about Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil (Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil). I suppose there's no need of maintaining this one on Wikipedia. Milena 18:03, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The "/temp" in the page name brings it close to Speedy but not quite... --Daedalus-Prime 20:21, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Change my vote to abstain. This is more complicated than I realized at first... --Daedalus-Prime 16:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or Redirect. It was listed in copyright problems so I rewrote it (not knowing about (Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil) in order to clear the violation. As long as we have a decent article about her this can go away or turned into a redirect. Either is fine with me. By the way, the temp page comes on every copyright violation template so that editors can work on replacement pages. Rx StrangeLove 20:42, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• This is clearly not a test page, but a rewrite page, scheduled to eventually replace Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil to resolve the copyright problem there. Separately nominating a rewrite page, that is in use as part of an ongoing Wikipedia:copyright problems deletion process, for deletion via AFD like this simply causes a mess. And nominating an article for deletion on the grounds that it is a duplicate article by an alternative title, when dealing with such duplicate articles does not involve deletion at all, is simply wrong. Editors who think that Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil should redirect to Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil after the copyright problem has been eliminated, because it is a duplicate article, should simply edit the rewrite article to be a redirect, not nominate it at AFD. Keep, and let the Wikipedia:copyright problems process proceed as intended, without spanners in its works. Uncle G 23:37:29, 2005-09-06 (UTC)
• Keep as per Uncle G. Capitalistroadster 01:03, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge: Okay, sorry because there was a misunderstanding, please don't bite the newcomers (like me!). Anyway, this may be a little confusing, since there's already the article named Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil. Maybe merging Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil to Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil would be a good idea. What do you think? Anyway, sorry for the misunderstanding. Milena 12:31, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • At the end of the copyright problems process, Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil will be deleted and Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil/Temp will be renamed in its stead. If you want, once the copyright problems process has completed, Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil to be merged with Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, then what you should do is simply merge Dona Isabel (I) of Brazil/Temp with Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil now, and leave the copyright problems process to run its course. The only thing preventing the merge bring done right away is this AFD nomination. Since no-one now wants the article deleted, I'll close this discussion early, so that you can go ahead and do the merge now. Uncle G 20:02:33, 2005-09-09 (UTC)
