Test edit submitted to AFC. The only edits by this account have been this test and vandalism. G2 may apply, on my reading, but has been declined. G2 does not apply in user space, unless submitted to AFC; but this was submitted to AFC. In any case, we don't need it. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:50, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Robert, I missed the undiscussed addition of "unless submitted to WP:AfC" earlier this month. This has now been reverted by someone else. The intent of G2 has always been that you can perform tests in your userspace without it getting speedy deleted. ~ GB fan 11:16, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete the content is "dkjkdnccmznxkscj ncnm antipoise" that the admin is forcing us to discuss this is nuts. That said, its a sandbox, which is never really deleted, so just blanking the whole page would have been fine. Legacypac (talk) 02:57, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete G1 should contain similar language to G2 to allow the former criterion to be applied to AfC submissions. VQuakr (talk) 08:25, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - there is no reason to delete a sandbox because they were testing something. Remove the AFC template from the test if that is the problem. ~ GB fan 11:16, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Testing or vandalism? Cause sending this to AfC is not right. Legacypac (talk) 04:19, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Replace page content with {{user sandbox}} This is what I do when encounter these. jni ^(delete)_{...just not interested} 19:18, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Remove AfC template or alternatively revert to this version. I suspect the user is just confused about what AfC is, this edit suggests to me that they are either requesting an article on "antipoise", or they were going to write one here and never got around to it. User sandboxes are intended as safe places for testing and it's absolutely fine if they contain nonsense. Hut 8.5 19:12, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Remove AfC templates, but do not delete tests in user sandboxes. Testing in user sandboxes is encouraged. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:02, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment why not just wait for G13 to apply (as it is a declined AfC submission)? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 19:59, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
