jacob soper
I am the author of this page. I am unsure what Wikipedia will make of it, and having now read the rules for Vanity Articles, I thought I should submit this page for Wikipedia to make its feelings known. Jake soper 14:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I completed this Vfd for the above user, and my vote is Delete. --Several Times 14:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, requested by author and also does not assert notability. PubLife 15:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nominator Lullabye Muse 15:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete under WP:CSD Articles 7. Thank you to the page's author for nominating the article, look forward to being edited by you. Sliggy 17:47, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * This content would be fine if you wished to place it on your user page, however. Hope to see you around, and happy editing. Meelar (talk) 18:22, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy page. Uppland 06:14, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy. Self-admitted vanity by logged-in users needs userfying, not deletion. &mdash; J I P | Talk 06:22, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This person does not meet the WP:BIO criteria, and Wikipedia is not the 'phone book. If  (a.k.a. ) had made any other contributions to Wikipedia my vote would have been "Userfy".  However, he has not.  Wikipedia is not a hosting service for people to have free user pages without contributing anything to the encyclopaedia.  (That's not the intention of the author in this case.  But it's the reason that I don't vote "Userfy" when in cases such as these there are no other contributions at all to the encyclopaedia.)  Moreover, note that the user himself has expressed a wish at Talk:Jacob soper not to have this as his user page.  Even were there grounds for userfication in this case, that would override them. Delete. Uncle G 16:02:50, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per Uncle G. Also, just to Mr. Soper, it's a nice piece in terms of a philosophical statement. However, Wikipedia is not the place to make a philosophical statement. You say on your talk page, "Is there room for one small, ordinary person in this gallery?", but Wikipedia is not a gallery, nor is it a forum for opinions, philosophy, or bios of ordinary people: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is a well written article, and I hope that you stay and continue to contribute, but please understand what Wikipedia is and isn't. --Blackcap | talk 19:41, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I do wish every vanity writer would be so considerate, we'd have a lot more time to hunt for actual VfD suspects. --80.222.69.104 21:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
