CSD U5
Hi Metaloaf. I've just declined a couple of your speedy deletion nominations while clearing CAT:CSD and I thought I'd let you know. I'm not convinced that aggressively using WP:CSD on single-sentence userpages by very new users is very helpful, and is extremely unwelcoming to potential new users. Sure, someone who's loading their userspace with blog posts or clear promotion needs to be stopped, but a sentence or two describing the person (even if it's kinda promotional) is unlikely to cause any major issues - many people will initially think of their userpage like a profile, and putting a sentence or two about yourself or your company is far from indicative of bad faith. Someone getting their userpage tagged for deletion ten minutes after they start editing is not likely to feel great about contributing. Thanks ~ mazca  talk 00:19, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

The edit you mentioned
Before I made any changes to the John B. Nalbandian page, I posed on the "talk" section that the "Personal Life" paragraph was not accurate and that I had proof. An editor named "JocularJellyfish" gave me permission to make the change in response. Naldandian's mother was never in a Japanese prison camp and I posted that evidence in the first paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FCC8:AD19:EF00:106C:329A:D397:AD5F (talk) 03:34, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
