No point keeping this here as it already exist as a draft at Draft:Alternative Hypotheses. The author also has not been editing for a few months. Plutus 💬 mess Fortune favors the curious 01:48, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A10 speedy tag was removed (by a temp user!) since not in article space. That is correct as far as rejecting that speedy. But there is no reason to (and some confusion arising from) retaining a userspace draft identical to, and probably recreated as a misunderstanding of, a draft moved to draftspace.

  • Weak Keep - It's a sandbox. Sandboxen do not need to be deleted unless they contain seriously problematic material such as BLP violations, What Wikipedia is Not violations, or other troublesome material. This is only a fragment, and does not need deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:46, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The author removed my redirect tag to the draft page, which contains similar content. Plutus 💬 mess Fortune favors the curious 00:38, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, its going to be deleted anyways after 6 months. Plutus 💬 mess Fortune favors the curious 00:39, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I generally tend to agree with Robert (and others) on not interfering with users' sandboxes, absent them being really objectionable. I was swayed to Delete in this instance since I interpret the author's reinstatement of the original text, essentially duplicated from the draftspace version, over your redirect as a mark of inexperience and confusion, rather than passive-aggressive disagreement with you. So I'm !voting Delete here purely as administrative clean-up of confused duplication. That said, part of the reason we let user sandboxes be, and let 6 months inactivity take care of Drafts that get abandoned, is that it's generally somewhere between a waste of time and an unnecessary microagression to be deleting this kind of stuff. Users come, try something, often depart. Abandoned stuff in Drafts gets recycled, and abandoned stuff in userspace is (generally) harmless. Martinp (talk) 14:23, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
