 * Userfy if at all possible. I have developed the following theory on vanity pages: they're mostly people who are (a) getting their feet wet in Wikipedia, (b) don't know the criteria for notability, and (c) would be just as happy being able to present the information posted here on a user-page, if they were offered that opportunity before having their contribution chewed up and spat out in the vfd process. -- BD Abram son thi m k 01:53, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
 * Original page was by an IP user, not a logged-in user. I don't think it's appropriate to userfy to an IP, though I generally agree with you about vanity pages created by logged-in users. (Delete this.) android&harr;talk 02:00, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed (hence the qualification, "if at all possible"). I'd go so far as to suggest we make a vanity page template that advises the poster that they have the option of making this a user page, and gives them a few days to get to it before we vfd the page. -- BD Abram son thi m k 02:23, 2005 May 13 (UTC)

 * Delete, if you want to create such a template, by all means do so, but they have five days to Userfy the article if they want, we don't need to keep vanity articles lying around just hoping somebody does something with them. RickK 04:24, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * I liked BD2412's template idea, so I was bold and created one and put it on the page. (Template:PotentialVanity) --Arcadian 14:44, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
