Stephen West
Self-written by the subject (see Talk:Stephen West for confirmation.) May be desired as a user page, but it shouldn't stay out in the main article namespace. -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:54, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete. User:Diceman should read autobiography Dunc|&#9786; 17:43, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Is userfy a valid vote? Delete and give it to his user page. hfool 18:43, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * He already has a userpage, otherwise I'd just have moved it there. Delete, though I guess if the admin cleaning this up is feeling kind he could move it to a subpage of his userpage.  --fvw *  18:50, 2004 Dec 23 (UTC)
 * You wikipediaholics must be the biggest, miserable buch of spoilsports on the internet. Are you afraid an article no-one will look up will somehow encourage others? What's the harm in pretending I'm important enough to merit an encyclopedia article. I vote to keep the article. Diceman 19:07, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Diceman one kind of harm is that wikipedia needs to be an independent source of information. Your autobiography page looks pretty neutral and balanced, but if anyone can write whatever they like about themselves, it won't be possible for users to tell what is real information and what is self-promotion.

 * Delete, per our well-established policy on autobiographies. Encourage Diceman to add this material to his user page, where it would be appropriate. By the way, those are terrific photos in the article on Gibson Steps. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 20:11, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I guess the only reason why I think it's unnecessary is because no-one would have seen it if Feldspar hadn't found it. I notice a certain relish in taking down other's work here in wikipedia. Diceman 14:15, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that you detect malice towards you where none exists. I must point out that your logic here is "I should have been allowed to violate policy to do it, because it was harmless.  And it was harmless, because no one would have ever stumbled across it by accident."  Leaving aside any problems with the first part, the problem with the second part is that I did stumble across it by accident.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:56, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
