PROD a draft?

Is it okay to PROD a draft instead of wasting everyone's time to AFC it over and over? ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 17:19, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

It doesn't seem necessary. Drafts are not indexed and are deleted via WP:G13 after 6 months on inactivity. ~Kvng (talk) 15:06, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

That's the process. Bearian (talk) 00:39, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Simon Critchley

This prod is in the wrong place, and I forgot how to fix this situation. Please help. Bearian (talk) 01:55, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Editors have been discussing improvements this article for 16 years and you're apparently the first to suggest deletion so I'd say that's a potentially controversial proposal and so not prod worthy. ~Kvng (talk) 15:09, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Someone prodded this, but the other article is a redirect. This sort of thing has happened before, but I can't remember what happened. Bearian (talk) 00:38, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Can you elaborate? I don't see a prod in the recent history and I'm not sure which "other article" you're referring to. pburka (talk) 01:03, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

This is the other one: Wé Ani. Bearian (talk) 14:55, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Please keep listing these at WikiProjects

Hey PROD people, thank you for all the good work. I was recently able to improve FC Herzogenbuchsee because @Bearian mentioned the PROD at WT:CH (WikiProject Switzerland). It would be great if y'all could list pages you PROD at relevant WikiProject talk pages, especially if they seem promising or could plausibly be notable. That way people who may have access to specialist sources or knowledge can help out. Best, Toadspike [Talk] 12:03, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

If a project has User: AAlertBot enabled, any Prods come through on the daily report, along with AFD notifications, as long as the project is stated on the article talk page. I find this useful for the sporadic Jazz related articles nominations. AllyD (talk) 13:37, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

I make an effort to warn as many projects as possible. Some of these old football stubs were created by long-retired editors. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
