Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion

Skip to: Table of contents / current discussions / old business (bottom). Purge this page

WP:MFD

Please do not nominate your user page (or subpages of it) for deletion here. Instead, add {{db-userreq}} at the top of any such page you no longer wish to keep; an administrator will then delete the page. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for more information.

Miscellany for deletion (MfD) is a place where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic pages in the namespaces which aren't covered by other specialized deletion discussion areas. Items sent here are usually discussed for seven days; then they are either deleted by an administrator or kept, based on community consensus as evident from the discussion, consistent with policy, and with careful judgment of the rough consensus if required.

Filtered versions of the page are available at

Information on the process[edit]

What may be nominated for deletion here:

Pages not covered by other XFD venues, including pages in these namespaces: Draft:, Help:, Portal:, MediaWiki:, Wikipedia: (including WikiProjects), User:, TimedText: and the various Talk: namespaces
Userboxes (regardless of namespace)
Pages in the File namespace that have a local description page but no local file (if there is a local file, Wikipedia:Files for discussion is the right venue)
Any other page, that is not in article space, where there is dispute as to the correct XfD venue.

Requests to undelete pages deleted after discussion here, and debate whether discussions here have been properly closed, both take place at Wikipedia:Deletion review, in accordance with Wikipedia's undeletion policy.

Before nominating a page for deletion[edit]

Before nominating a page for deletion, please consider these guidelines:

Deleting pages in your own userspace	If you want to have your own userpage or a draft you created deleted, there is no need to list it here; simply tag it with {{db-userreq}} or {{db-u1}}. If you wish to clear your user talk page or sandbox, just blank it.
Duplications in draftspace?	Duplications in draftspace are usually satisfactorily fixed by redirection. If the material is in mainspace, redirect the draft to the article, or a section of the article. If multiple draft pages on the same topic have been created, tag them for merging. See WP:SRE.
Deleting pages in other people's userspace	Consider explaining your concerns on the user's talk page with a personal note or by adding `{{subst:Uw-userpage}} ~~~~` to their talk page. This step assumes good faith and civility; often the user is simply unaware of the guidelines, and the page can either be fixed or speedily deleted using {{db-userreq}}. Take care not to bite newcomers – sometimes using the {{subst:welcome}} or {{subst:welcomeg}} template and a pointer to WP:UP would be best first. Problematic userspace material is often addressed by the User pages guidelines including in some cases removal by any user or tagging to clarify the content or to prevent external search engine indexing. (Examples include copies of old, deleted, or disputed material, problematic drafts, promotional material, offensive material, inappropriate links, 'spoofing' of the MediaWiki interface, disruptive HTML, invitations or advocacy of disruption, certain kinds of images and image galleries, etc) If your concern relates to these areas consider these approaches as well, or instead of, deletion. User pages about Wikipedia-related matters by established users usually do not qualify for deletion. Articles that were recently deleted at AfD and then moved to userspace are generally not deleted unless they have lingered in userspace for an extended period of time without improvement to address the concerns that resulted in their deletion at AfD, or their content otherwise violates a global content policy such as our policies on Biographies of living persons that applies to any namespace.
Policies, guidelines and process pages	Established pages and their sub-pages should not be nominated, as such nominations will probably be considered disruptive, and the ensuing discussions closed early. This is not a forum for modifying or revoking policy. Instead consider tagging the policy as {{historical}} or redirecting it somewhere. Proposals still under discussion generally should not be nominated. If you oppose a proposal, discuss it on the policy page's discussion page. Consider being bold and improving the proposal. Modify the proposal so that it gains consensus. Also note that even if a policy fails to gain consensus, it is often useful to retain it as a historical record, for the benefit of future editors.
WikiProjects and their subpages	It is generally preferable that inactive WikiProjects not be deleted, but instead be marked as {{WikiProject status\|inactive}}, redirected to a relevant WikiProject, or changed to a task force of a parent WikiProject, unless the WikiProject was incompletely created or is entirely undesirable. WikiProjects that were never very active and which do not have substantial historical discussions (meaning multiple discussions over an extended period of time) on the project talk page should not be tagged as {{historical}}; reserve this tag for historically active projects that have, over time, been replaced by other processes or that contain substantial discussion (as defined above) of the organization of a significant area of Wikipedia. Before deletion of an inactive project with a founder or other formerly active members who are active elsewhere on Wikipedia, consider userfication. Notify the main WikiProject talk page when nominating any WikiProject subpage, in addition to standard notification of the page creator.
Alternatives to deletion	Normal editing that doesn't require the use of any administrator tools, such as merging the page into another page or renaming it, can often resolve problems. Pages in the wrong namespace (e.g. an article in Wikipedia namespace), can simply be moved and then tag the redirect for speedy deletion using {{db-g6\|rationale= it's a redirect left after a cross-namespace move}}. Notify the author of the original article of the cross-namespace move.
Alternatives to MfD	Speedy deletion If the page clearly satisfies a "general" or "user" speedy deletion criterion, tag it with the appropriate template. Be sure to read the entire criterion, as some do not apply in the user space.

Please familiarize yourself with the following policies[edit]

How to list pages for deletion[edit]

Shortcut

WP:MFDHOWTO

Please check the aforementioned list of deletion discussion areas to check that you are in the right area. Then follow these instructions:

Instructions on listing pages for deletion:

To list a page for deletion, follow this three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page, including its namespace, to be deleted)

Note: Users must be logged in to complete step II. An unregistered user who wishes to nominate a page for deletion should complete step I and post their reasoning on Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion with a notification to a registered user to complete the process.

I.

Edit PageName:

Enter the following text at the top of the page you are listing for deletion:

{{mfd|1={{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}}}
for a second or subsequent nomination use {{mfdx|2nd}}

or

{{mfd|GroupName}}
if nominating several similar related pages in an umbrella nomination. Choose a suitable name as GroupName and use it on each page.

If the nomination is for a userbox or similarly transcluded page, use {{subst:mfd-inline}} so as to not mess up the formatting for the userbox.

Use {{subst:mfd-inline|GroupName}} for a group nomination of several related userboxes or similarly transcluded pages.

Please include in the edit summary the phrase
Added MfD nomination at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replace PageName with the name of the page that is up for deletion.
Please don't mark your edit summary as a minor edit.
Check the "Watch this page" box if you would like to follow the page in your watchlist. This may help you to notice if your MfD tag is removed by someone.
Save the page

II.

Create its MfD subpage.

The resulting MfD box at the top of the page should contain the link "this page's entry"

Click that link to open the page's deletion discussion page.
Insert this text:

{{subst:mfd2| pg={{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:PAGENAME}}||2}}| text=Reason why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
replacing Reason... with your reasons why the page should be deleted and sign the page. Do not substitute the pagename, as this will occur automatically.

Consider checking "Watch this page" to follow the progress of the debate.
Please use an edit summary such as Creating deletion discussion page for [[PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
Save the page.

III.

Add a line to MfD.

Follow this edit link and at the top of the list add a line:

{{subst:mfd3| pg=PageName}}
Put the page's name in place of "PageName".

Include the discussion page's name in your edit summary like
Added [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
Save the page.
If nominating a page that has been nominated before, use the page's name in place of "PageName" and add

{{priorxfd|PageName}}
in the nominated page deletion discussion area to link to the previous discussions and then save the page using an edit summary such as
Added [[Template:priorxfd]] to link to prior discussions.

If nominating a page from someone else's userspace, notify them on their main talk page.
For other pages, while not required, it is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the miscellany that you are nominating. To find the main contributors, look in the page history or talk page of the page and/or use TDS' Article Contribution Counter or Wikipedia Page History Statistics. For your convenience, you may add
{{subst:mfd notice|PageName}} ~~~~
to their talk page in the "edit source" section, replacing PageName with the pagename. Please use an edit summary such as
Notice of deletion discussion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the nomination page you are proposing for deletion.
If the user has not edited in a while, consider sending the user an email to notify them about the MfD if the MfD concerns their user pages.
If you are nominating a WikiProject, please post a notice at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council, in addition to the project's talk page and the talk pages of the founder and active members.

July 9, 2024[edit]

User:Msalauddind89/sandbox[edit]

Unattributed copy of Ahmed Sofa. Created over three years ago with no attempt to work on the content. ✗plicit 11:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:COPIES. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per WP:COPIES, it appears a user sandbox like this one might be eligible for immediate {{db-u1}}, to prevent possible attribution issues. I do appreciate the nomination here. BusterD (talk) 12:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is a low quality copy and a redundant fork. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

July 8, 2024[edit]

Draft:DarkForums[edit]

Unclear if promo aside, page contains admission of a serious crime committed by its author. Fermiboson (talk) 22:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore per WP:NDRAFT. This mfd gives it more attention than it deserves, or would have received before G13 deletion. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn’t censor topics due to providing information on illegal activities, however maybe this should be deleted per WP:NOTPROMOTION. The page provides their official Discord and Telegram Channel Links, and no links to independent sources. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - Whether this nomination was unwise because of a Streisand effect is a discussion of the past. We are already here. At this point we should delete this draft so that Wikipedia draft space is not providing publicity about illegal activities. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:UBX/Juve Merda[edit]

This was nominated at the wrong venue (TFD). This is a procedural nomination on my part and I express no opinion on the merits. The original nominating statement is:

Offensive against Juventus Football Club, "merda" in Italian is a vulgar word equivalent to "shit"Qwerty 9706 (talk) 11:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that, somewhat confusingly, Qwerty 9706 is the TfD nom. Nickps (talk) 18:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. I accidentally removed my own signature when I deleted excess copied material when I made the MFD nomoination -- Whpq (talk) 18:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I thought about telling you but it felt like splitting hairs, so I just added a note here. Nickps (talk) 18:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would renaming the template be a viable option? Something like "No Juve"? The Banner talk 21:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. We might want to ask @SignedInteger for an opinion on the name, since they are apparently the only person that uses this. Nickps (talk) 22:01, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of its name but admittedly I was searching for something more humorous because, as my page says: "Some of the contents of this user page are not meant to be taken seriously, but I'm sure you already knew that." I do think renaming it would work because I am only using it as a humorous userbox and not out of actual ill intent against Juventus or Juventus fans. SignedInteger (talk) 22:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I noticed my page has this notice on it now: "This user page is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

Please discuss the matter at this page's entry on the Miscellany for deletion page.

You are welcome to edit this page, but please do not blank, merge, or move it, or remove this notice, while the discussion is in progress. For more information, see the

Guide to deletion

."

I have no clue why this appeared and checking the edit history of my page shows nobody added it so I think it may be a bug. SignedInteger (talk) 22:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that appeared because of a mistake with tagging the userbox. It should be fixed now. Nickps (talk) 22:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No hate in userboxes.—Alalch E. 22:01, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why delete though? Can't that be resolved through rewording, like in Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Template:User hate CCP? Nickps (talk) 22:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll let someone else do the rewording, I'm sticking with 'delete'.—Alalch E. 22:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No hate in Userboxes. Don’t reword, just delete. A better userbox can be as easily made from scratch. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Xelia Mendes-Jones[edit]

Already has a corresponding mainspace page, and thus is redundant Bremps... 01:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Xelia Mendes-Jones Bremps... 01:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Redirect to Xelia Mendes-Jones. Drafts are redirected to a corresponding article rather than deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Xelia Mendes-Jones: per Robert McClenon. TarnishedPath^talk 11:42, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dpaulino LA Vevo/sandbox[edit]

Same as Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:DPaulinovevo/sandbox below. BD2412 T 00:01, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nomination. The use of two accounts to produce two identical sandboxes also appears to have been have been sockpuppetry, but is too far in the past to be worth requesting a duck test finding. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Clear self-promotion. Wikipedia is WP:NOTAWEBHOST. TarnishedPath^talk 11:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above comments.—Alalch E. 22:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

July 7, 2024[edit]

User:DPaulinovevo/sandbox[edit]

This editor was only active for a brief period in 2012, spent almost all of his time creating this sandbox for a tour by a non-notable subject, and then disappeared. Delete per WP:NOTWEBHOST. BD2412 T 20:41, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before My Eyes World Tour

They wrote Diogo Paulino. What are their other deleted edits?

Why not blank with {{Userpage blanked}}? I don’t see any BLP or COPYVIO problems.

Why not move to draftspace, Draft:Before My Eyes World Tour and give it the usually time and chance for rescue and indefinite easy REFUND?

Deleting old inactive users’ userpages and edit history because they’ll never return is a self-fulfilling professy. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:17, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SmokeyJoe: After further investigation, it turns out that they created identical sandboxes under two usernames. I have just nominated the other one. In any case, after twelve years of absence, I think "they'll never return" is more of an observation than a prophecy. In addition to the apparent autobiography, they also created The Fashion World Tour (Created page with 'The Fashion World Tour is the fourth concert tour by Diogo Paulino.'); Run Before My Eyes Ep (Created page with 'Run Before My Eyes Ep is the 2nd Ep by the north american singer, Diogo Paulino!'), and 2.0.1.2. (two thousand and twelve) (This is the fifth studio album by the singer Dpaulino!). BD2412 T 00:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: WP:SPA self promotion. And per nom. SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:55, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nomination and as promotion. There is also sockpuppetry that is too far in the past to be worth dealing with. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Clearly self-promotional. TarnishedPath^talk 11:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above comments.—Alalch E. 22:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Colonial Empires/Userbox/CEBASICBOX[edit]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Colonialism was redirected and is no longer a project or task force. Gonnym (talk) 09:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:15, 26 June 2024‎ Joe Roe talk contribs‎ 60 bytes −3,268‎ ←Redirected page to Wikipedia:WikiProject History

User:Joe Roe, why did you do that?

I think the default action should be to redirect all subpages of Wikipedia:WikiProject Colonialism to Wikipedia:WikiProject Colonialism. That is, archive all subpages as redirects to the redirect. Is there a reason not to? SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:06, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was a consensus to do so at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History#Merge inactive history WikiProjects. Sorry, I forgot to add an edit summary. I've no objection to redirecting all the subpages. I retained some because the might be of historical interest and others because they have no incoming links anyway so it didn't seem worth the hassle. – Joe (talk) 11:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. By default, I think it’s better to preserve history of anything ever used, unless it should never have been created. However, if someone, especially someone from the WikiProject, has a rationale for deleting over archiving (history behind redirects), then I have no objection to deletion. I think wikiarchiology is a good thing to be allowed to happen, and that deletion requests should give at least lip service to why archiving is not a good idea. SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per User:Joe Roe. Archive. SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for historical purposes. This userbox is displayed on the user pages of a few users who are no longer active and therefore unlikely to replace it now that the wikiproject no longer exists. Keeping it serves to preserve their user page as it was and to help anyone who happens to come across them find out where the former WikiProject Colonialism now resides (via the redirect to WikiProject History). – Joe (talk) 11:22, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:2024 Atlantic hurricane season/ACE calcs[edit]

This is in clear violation of Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tropical_cyclones/Archive_43#RFC:_ACE_Calcs; this is nothing but an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of info if it's not going to be used in the article. Also WP:NOTDATABASE, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Jasper Deng (talk) 22:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contention 1: Talk:2023 Atlantic hurricane season/ACE calcs still exists. Talk:2022 Atlantic hurricane season/ACE calcs still exists.

Contention 2: The discussion was closed by LightandDark2000 back in 2020, which reads:

Although there is some dispute as to how this should be done, it appears that the consensus is to use the figures from a trusted source. However, our ACE calculations can also be used as placeholders in lieu of more reliable figures.

As far as I can tell, we.. never figured out how exactly we're supposed to go about this. (Not that I knew that this was a discussion that was had until today, but that's my own fault.) We as a WikiProject (myself included from time to time) continue to update the operational portion of 2024/ACE. I do not know entirely why. I do not know entirely how. At this point, not entirely sure what deleting 2024 would be worth unless we nuked... everything. ~ AC5230 talk 06:18, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:MANJESH MANN[edit]

A stupid copy of Denim, mixed with some additional text that given the broken formatting was almost certainly copied from somewhere else on the internet. Flounder fillet (talk) 01:51, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As the nominator says, this is a redundant fork, which causes attribution problems. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. This already causes attribution problems by being a fork of Wikipedia content, and it may count as plagiarism (or worse) as the other text seems to be taken without attribution from somewhere else. Glades12 (talk) 18:12, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Walwal20/RfC Hartley Jackson[edit]

This nomination is for IP user 101.186.135.169, who stated "Abandoned RfC draft - user hasn't edited in over three years" in a PROD. PROD can only be used for actual articles and IPs can't start deletion discussions, so I'm posting it for them. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 00:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep User being inactive for some time is not a reason to delete their own productive subpages. Ca ^{talk to me!} 15:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - See the guideline on deletion of user pages of other users, which does not provide for deletion of abandoned user pages, which should in fact be retained in case the user returns. If the IP is the user and wants to delete the page, they can log on and tag it with U1 or G7. If the IP is someone else, they should leave the user alone. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:01, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sarkarshubham[edit]

Copy of an old version of Jalebi. Flounder fillet (talk) 01:59, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Even if the appearance of the copy isn't stupid, the act of making the unnecessary copy is itself stupid. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:17, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but perhaps we shouldn't get into the habit of using the word "stupid." Newyorkbrad (talk) 07:32, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stupid copy of an old version of Free Papua Movement. Flounder fillet (talk) 01:46, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Like all stupid copies, it is also a redundant fork. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The creator probably supports this movement, judging by their username. In any case, this seven-years-old fork serves no purpose for information, activism nor anything else. Glades12 (talk) 17:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:FUN 2 RHYME[edit]

This article about a "meme song" has no references or citations and appears like the song is not eligible nor popular enough as a meme or trend to be recognized by the Wikipedia community. Meltdown reverter (talk) 18:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a draft, and should be declined or rejected. Drafts do not need to be nominated for deletion from the New Page queue for notability or sanity reasons, as explained in this essay. Is the nominator a new New Page Patrol reviewer who thought that drafts should be reviewed for sanity? Robert McClenon (talk) 21:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Ayesha Erotica[edit]

Proposing redirect to Ayesha Erotica. This draft cites no reliable sources and is loaded with original research and unverified information; every reliable source is covered in the mainspace article. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 10:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Completely agreed, A draft with no reliable sources shouldn't be accepted to Wikipedia, according to the policies. The draft might be a copy with terrible sourcing. Meltdown reverter (talk) 18:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The draft predates the article by around 8 months and has a substantial number of edits again predating the article. Is a WP:HISTMERGE in order? Curbon7 (talk) 19:55, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why would we merge? It has no sources, and its authorship has no overlap. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 22:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Ayesha Erotica. I made a mistake in reviewing this draft, because I didn't check whether the references were any good. It appears that none of them are any good, and I should have included that as a reason to decline, and probably should not have tagged the draft and the article to be merged. There is no need for a history merge, because it appears that the article was created bona fide and is not borrowing from the draft. The draft should just be blanked and redirected to the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Single-page content with no template parameters. Copy into that page for ease of maintenance, then delete this template. [Note: It looks like this was put in MFD by Twinkle automatically instead of TFD. It's fine to discuss it here, since it's really page content for the Wikipedia space, not a real template.] – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep pending an explanation that I understand of why it should be deleted. If the issue is that it has no template parameters and is not used as a template, why not Move it to Wikipedia space, which will preserve history? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Wikipedia:User access levels/User access level changes and let it be transcluded on the primary page. This could just as easily have been a talk page discussion or even a unilateral move, and no one would have cared. Primefac (talk) 18:08, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Move per Primefac. SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:40, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
