Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: page moved to WP:Why was the page I created deleted?. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? → Wikipedia:Why was the article I created deleted? – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
- This topic was brought up before for the same reason as the renaming of this; and it looks like it was opposed only because, as Duff said best, some commenters were possibly confusing things as to suggest that the article need to be new in this case too. Long story short, the title of this essay as it stands seems to suggest a violation of WP:OWN (because of the presence of the word "my").

- BTW, those templates above should remove the pronouns as well. Erpert Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it? 23:11, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- A tough call. It's obviously true that articles don't belong to anyone, yet the question is often posed like this and this is only an essay after all. The new title would be politically correct, but rather difficult to remember, especially seeing that this is a page for rather new users. Let's hear some arguments first. --The Evil IP address (talk) 17:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose the content of this essay contains material that relates to things other than articles (such as files). Though that content is small, so might be split into two pages, one with the suggested title, and the remainder staying at the current title. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 05:01, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- As I understood the nom, this is more about the "my" in the title rather than the "article", so I believe the nom wouldn't mind the title "Why was the page I created deleted?". --The Evil IP address (talk) 17:54, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- That would be fine by me. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 07:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

- Support, to avoid possible confusion and misleading page titles. Many newbies think that the pages they created belong to them, and thus they might (subconsciously) think it's in fact the case. I don't expect them to recognize the difference in the titles, but it might make it easier to get a general idea of Wikipedia if we're consistent on help pages. As most of the pageviews come from links—which should be changed after the move ASAP—the proposed title isn't really more complex than now. --The Evil IP address (talk) 09:56, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
- I wonder why this was relisted. I agreed with your new title WP:Why was the page I created deleted? -- 76.65.128.132 (talk) 08:33, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Why shouldn't one post on a deleted article's talk page?
"Please do not post questions about your deleted article on this page's talk page. Instead, if you have questions, post them on the Help desk." I added a {{why}} tag in the middle of this sentence, and whoever wrote this part should explain. Pagen HD (talk) 11:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- Why shouldn't one post on a deleted article's talk page? -- That's not what it says though, you're not supposed to ask about a deleted article, here (Wikipedia talk:Why was my page deleted?), it doesn't say you're not supposed to ask about a deleted article at Talk:deleted article (though that wouldn't make sense, since the article was deleted, so the talk page would be hanging and unattached to any subject). 76.65.128.132 (talk) 04:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Proposed shortcut
I've found Wikipedia:Why_was_my_page_deleted?#If_all_else_fails.2C_try_another_wiki to be very useful, as it offers editors who have had -- or may have -- their articles deleted some positive options. So useful, in fact, that I thought we could create a shortcut. WP:ANOTHER is taken. How about WP:OTHERWIKIS? It's rather hard to internally link to, as it stands now.

- do it. Mtking (edits) 22:57, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- I definitely want to. But a shortcut that I created last year WP:DIFFUSE, sparked vigorous opposition from one editor, and was only okayed when other editors intervened. So after that experience, I'd rather wait for others to express their views, if they wish to, first. Thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:54, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
