Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Crocodileman


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the discussion was No consensus for deletion. Reverts to keep. Concerns were raised that the user pages in question, even the polls, may actually be sandbox/practice articles. No evidence of harm to the project and user substantially contributes to encyclopedia. All in all: no evidence that pages cause harm to Wikipedia, and consensus does not favor deletion at this time.

User:Crocodileman
This user's main page does not need all of its content removed (obviously the user boxes and short bio stuff is ok) but the majority of this material has nothing to do with creating or improving Wikipedia articles. Additionally, user has created quite a number of non-WP pages, most concerning non-existent music charts and pretend album pages for his band, plus a poll. Also created is a fake template. I contacted user on 27 November about these pages. He has edited Wikipedia since this date but has not responded to me nor removed any of the content himself.

 * Keep User has over four thousand edits since 2006 and appears OCD on discographies. Per MfD, the "no harm" defense is actually buttressed bu "this person has added a lot of info to WP."  I suspect people who dedicate themselves to discographies may be odd in their user pages, but not something to go and delete. Collect (talk) 22:28, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It looks to me that these pages are relevant for the construction of wikipedia. Even if the charts are made up, they could be useful to the user in focusing his work. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Fair enough. But a poll and a fake album page?  Not sure exactly how all of this does not go against WP:UP.  These obviously are not works-in-progress for a future or current article. - eo (talk) 23:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like the fake album is a practice page or sandbox. The poll is the most unproductive, but even that could be used to rate importance of singles that have no articles created yet.  I would say we don't delete any of these pages until Crocodileman gets a chance to explain them.  He has not been on very much recently, although he has done a lot of editing in the past. With the Christmas holiday coming up we should be more lenient with the time limits for these processes. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:38, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, that's fine. - eo (talk) 12:18, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per Ericorbit. I agree 100%, making fake charts and fake templates is hardly productive, especially when the editor hasn't done anything else. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * But this editor has done anything else. He has over 3,000 edits to the mainspace. That does not mean he should be given carte blanche to do anything at all with his userspace, but it shows that he is not focused on his userspace only. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Didn't notice that. Still, delete just the same, these are harmless but may mislead. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
