Regional at Best drafts
These drafts are repeated resubmissions about an album that has repeatedly been determined not to satisfy musical notability, and has been more than once redirected to Twenty-One Pilots. There have been attempts to game the naming by alternate capitalization and by disambiguation. Three of the versions in article space have been locked as redirects (salted from being articles).
See:
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Regional at Best (album)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Regional at Best
The targets of this deletion request are drafts of two spellings, and one submission from a sandbox.
- Draft:Regional At Best (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Draft:Regional at Best (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- User:Mattturner747/sandbox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
None of these drafts will be accepted, because they cannot be accepted when the article title is locked. A Deletion Review recently affirmed the redirection, and so the uselessness of these drafts.

- Having followed this matter, I think (as you do) that the problem is partially with NALBUM. I would want an RfC on NALBUM and "cult status" prior to MfDing these drafts, although considering the current airs regarding SNG RfCs it would require a fair amount of workshopping first and a NODEADLINE attitude.

- Comment - I thank User:Vaticidalprophet but disagree. There is a deficiency in the album notability guidelines, but that problem is not the issue with these drafts. These drafts are attempts by fans who disagree with the non-inclusion of "their" album to game the naming by sneaking a draft around a salted title. In other words, if rough consensus is against you, be tendentious, and if that doesn't help, cheat. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:26, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: According to Twenty One Pilots discography, this was self-released and never charted anywhere. That makes it sound suited for a list within this article. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:16, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Delete: Resubmitted without improvement eg, and already deleted at AfD, and no compelling new evidence. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:18, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
