:A good option for articles that are clearly not ready for mainspace, but could be given further time for improvement, such as: an article with no sources,<ref>"No sources" is not the same as "no [[WP:INCITE|inline citations]]". Articles without inline citations may still list sources as [[WP:GENREF|general references]], [[Wikipedia:Further reading|further reading]], or [[Wikipedia:External links|external links]]. Such articles should be tagged with {{tl|no footnotes}}.</ref> an obvious machine translation, very poor English, and obvious conflict of interest or undisclosed paid editing. Please review the official draftification criteria at [[Wikipedia:Drafts#During new page review]]. You can use the script [[User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft]] to perform draftifications. Articles older than 90 days should not be draftified. An article should never be draftified more than once, and should never be [[Wikipedia:DRAFTOBJECT|draftified over objections]]. Draftspace is optional. If needed, send to AFD instead.
;[[Wikipedia:MERGE|Merging]]
:If an existing article or list covers or partially covers the topic, consider [[WP:MERGING|merging]] the content there. Remember to properly attribute the content and mark the redirect as reviewed afterwards.
;[[Wikipedia:BLAR|Blanking and redirecting]] (BLAR)
:An alternative to merging if there is no content worth retaining. Remember to tag the redirect with {{tl|R with history}} and mark it as reviewed.
