User:Metropolitan90/On userpages

A comment on my wikiphilosophy
All too often, I have seen people nominate other people's user pages for deletion at Miscellany for deletion. Sometimes such a deletion may be appropriate, but in many cases, it's not.

Before you nominate a user page for deletion, please ask yourself the following questions:
 * Is there anything actually wrong with the user page in the first place? If not, don't nominate it.
 * Is the user an active editor who makes good edits to the mainspace of the encyclopedia? If so, give the user some leeway in terms of what they put on their user page. Editors matter.
 * Is the user very new to Wikipedia? If so, consider the possibility that nominating their page for deletion may dissuade them from staying active in Wikipedia. Don't bite the newbies.
 * Have you attempted to discuss the problems with the user on their user talk page before nominating the page for deletion? If not, do that before the nomination.
 * Is anything in your nomination inaccurate? (Examples: calling a user page a blog when it has no bloglike content, or claiming the user page is being used for self-promotion when the user has nothing to promote.) If so, go back and rewrite your nomination.
 * Are you 100% sure that the user page needs to be deleted? If not, leave it alone.
