 * Time-transport to 1974 when I could have used it. For now, delete. Newyorkbrad (talk) 05:11, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I actually kind of like this. But WikiProject Redirect would lynch me if I suggested we redirect this to Mere-exposure effect. if I move it to my userspace, can I claim it's a sandbox and keep it? Face-smile.svg —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:55, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Kindly do not ping me again if you are only doing so to troll/needle. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 05:09, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I apologize. My question was not entirely in jest, although I certainly understand why it was intepreted as such. To rephrase the question in more serious and general terms, is it considered appropriate for a user to rescue content that has no value and which he has no intention of giving value for sentimental reasons? —Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:57, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, the reason I pinged you is that I figured if you objected, so will basically everyone else. I wasn't entirely needling you (although I'm sure my smart-ass self did get some satisfaction out of that aspect of it). Again, I apologize. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 16:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem. My opinion would be that if you are keeping it just because you like the text, it's hard to interpret that as being in any way related to Wikipedia, editing, experimentation, etc. If, on the other hand, you wanted to keep it as an educational example of what not to do, as source text to experiment with wikimarkup/style/formatting, if you wanted to make an elaborate newbie-welcoming gesture of keeping literally a handful of words in order to engage with the user, if you found it in any way useful to your own editing, etc. then, since you're the only one who would ever see it in your userspace (unless you link to it, and unless someone is looking for old userspace drafts), I would have no problem assuming good faith and no objection to you moving it there (without redirect). In other words, if the content isn't actively harmful (copyvio, promo, attack, etc.), and if you can explain it in a way that's connected to your engagement with Wikipedia and/or the community, then I would see no upside to suggesting you not do so. The bureaucratic fact of a particular interpretation of a particular policy, when enforcement has no real improvement to the project beyond the fact of enforcement and, to the contrary, may discourage an active user's engagement with the project, is not in anybody's best interest. Of course, if it became a pattern, or if your userspace became a library of gradeschool pick-up strategies, then it would merit some more specific attention as the community's supply of AGF has limits. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 16:25, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Heh, I wouldn't have a problem with you userfying it. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 05:49, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Neutral - Useless, but the editor hasn't yet done anything with it. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:23, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. After a few days of sobering up, I've concluded I really don't have any need or use for this, as cute as I find it to be. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 23:08, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – The question to ask is: will the encyclopedia see benefit in the long run if this draft were kept? The answer is no. Mz7 (talk) 04:38, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
