User talk:Everyking/Jdimytai Damour

Memorial/User pages?
I stumbled across this user page in the index for murdered Americans. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this wasn't, strictly, a case of murder, turning a user page into an article and memorial brings up a number of troubling issues:

1. Is Jdimytai Damour's death worthy of its own page? If so, create it. Don't use his user page a sandbox.

2. It's not up to a Wikipedia editor to turn another user's page into an obituary. The User Pages guidelines (sec 6.4) state that "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content."

3. I am not of the mind that Jdimytai Damour or the 2008 Long Island Wal-Mart Black Friday incident deserve an article. If anyone feels differently, please feel free to create one. In either case, I will submit this page for MfD in 7 days.

4. In the meantime, I'm removing this user page from the index of articles on American murders, as well as the categories with which this user page has been (wrongly) tagged.  Pac if ic Bo y  02:09, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
