{{Shortcut|WP:DRAFTNO}}{{anchor|WP:DONTDRAFTIFY|WP:AFDTODRAFT}}

Editors should generally avoid moving an article to draftspace in the following circumstances:

# The article was created more than 90 days ago{{refn|group=note|name=draftifyoldrfc|RFC at [[Special:PermanentLink/1078979320#Proposal to ban draftifying articles more than 90 days old without consensus|Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Proposal to ban draftifying articles more than 90 days old without consensus]].}}
# The article is currently being discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] (AfD), [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]] (DRV), or a similar venue where the move could pre-empt a formal close{{refn|group=note|Per {{section link|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Wikietiquette}}, {{tq|[w]hile there is no prohibition against moving an article while an AfD or deletion review discussion is in progress, editors considering doing so should realize such a move can confuse the discussion greatly, can preempt a closing decision, can make the discussion difficult to track, and can lead to inconsistencies when using semi-automated closing scripts.}}}}
# The article contains outstanding [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|copyright violations]]; these are not allowed in any namespace and must be addressed
# There is no [[WP:PRESERVE|chance that the article can be improved]] to the point that is suitable for mainspace; problems that can't be fixed are [[WP:DEL-REASON|reasons for deletion]]
# Another editor is actively working on the article, e.g. there is an {{tl|under construction}} notice or there have been constructive edits made within the last hour
# Another editor has asserted that the page belongs in mainspace, e.g. they have previously moved the draft there, or there is a clear statement to that effect in the edit history or on the talk page{{refn|group=note|name=movewar|Moving an article over the objections of another editor, without seeking consensus, constitutes [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit warring]] (more specifically [[Wikipedia:Move warring|move warring]])}}
# Another editor [[WP:DRAFTOBJECT|has objected to or reversed the move]]{{refn|group=note|name=movewar}}
