Pinkgirl34's Click pages

 * User:Pinkgirl34/Click

Link game which has nothing to do with Wikipedia, waste of space. -- \ Backslash Forwardslash / {talk} 07:25, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Completely pointless, leads up to nothing at all. Definitely not encyclopedic. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 08:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 *  Keep . These playthings are for learning, and userspace is the place to do it.  We should not be put out the message that newcomers are not allowed to experiment in userspace.  Finding MfD templates on your pages conveys a definite message of disapproval.  This nomination is bitey.  I would be better to have welcomed the user, and told her how she can have her pages deleted when she is finished playing.  Concerns about usage of space are unfounded, see WP:PERFORMANCE.   --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Considering this user registered in April and has already been blocked, unblocked and continued to edit, I would've thought a welcome note would be condescending. \ Backslash Forwardslash / {talk} 10:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah. I see that she was welcomed, and has performed more than her fair share of "tests", and has been warned, blocked, etc.  I am pleased to see that there are recent edits that look productive.  I am hoping that she we request deletion of the click pages herself.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Kept long enough. delete.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Keep it as my personal sandbox. Pinkgirl34 10:12, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Looks like a sandbox on how do internal wiki-links work. However it must be deleted soon afterward since these pages looks like a game (and also users usually just only have one sandbox, aside from the main, template, and other sandboxes. I'd also say that a (re-)welcome note is proper due to her(?) past performance. E Wing (talk) 12:54, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep With a note to the editor that the lesson about links is likely learned. And WP has no rule about one sandbox to a customer, nor a rule that sandboxes be useful. The main strictures are against commercial spam and attacks, as well as legal ones about copyright etc. Collect (talk) 13:54, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep This game, while not particularly encyclopedic, is slightly educational about how Wikipedia works. Gigs (talk) 15:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Destroy with moon sized asteroid Uncyclopedia nonsense, no encyclopedic value. As for this nonsense being educational or a test, it is very very unlikely that a person would need 30 something pages. WP:NOT NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT!!!!!!! Triplestop  x3  21:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Good luck finding one. -- Myfavouritecolourispink 16:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep It does have an educational value - teaches about Wikipedia links in a funny way. However, I request you end the game in a more surprising and funny manner. ;-) OutOfTimer (talk) 01:00, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This game is still under development. -- Myfavouritecolourispink 16:17, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete If this is education, we need less of it. DGG (talk) 02:49, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep It made me laugh.  Also, I notice that a Click36 has been added since this was MfD'd.  -- Soap Talk/Contributions 04:25, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete While I had a great laugh reading some of this, userspace is not the place for 36 pages of linker games. GrooveDog (talk) 05:35, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment User has admitted that it is indeed a game. I think these can all be deleted.  Triplestop  x3  19:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. I wouldn't object so much if Pinkgirl34's content contributions far outnumbered the edits she makes on these click pages. With 35 mainspace edits since she returned from an indef block, that's obviously not the case. Besides, I fail to see how this is more educational than Wikipedia's own help pages and regular sandbox editing.--Atlan (talk) 20:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This helps fulfil our core function how? Yes we allow some leeway on userpage for community purposes but this is a step too far... --Cameron Scott (talk) 20:06, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Educational value? How silly. Normally I would not bother objecting to what someone does in their own userspace (so long as it does no harm), we should not be in the habit of allowing people to waste our resources for inane little games. This should go. Shereth 20:06, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete with extreme prejudice - Shameless violation of WP:NOT; "educational value" is the shabbiest pretense of an excuse for a game. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - self-admitted game disguised as an educational exercise - no need for 49 pages (at last check) to learn about linking (a single sandbox is more than sufficient for that). Also WP:NOT. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Generally, you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia. Specifically this violates WP:UP. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. 35 mainspace edits is still an average of 7 edits per day. That's not bad if someone is not online for a very long time. -- Myfavouritecolourispink 20:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:UP.  Sandstein   20:36, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Per WP:UP, WP:NOTWEBHOST and quack. Vicenarian  (T · C) 20:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Question. What does quack represent here? Just wondering. -- Myfavouritecolourispink 21:07, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * See the comment from Garden below. Vicenarian  (T · C) 21:45, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - horribly horribly familiar to something I saw on Uncyclopedia a while back which lends me to believe that it's not a good thing to have these lying around. GARDEN  says no to drama  21:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * For silly stuff in someone's userspace, I tend to look at their contributions to the project; someone that makes many (or wide-ranging) edits should, I believe, have a bit more latitude granted in their userspace content than someone that doesn't. Taking a look at Pinkgirl34's edits, roughly 45% of her edits are in the user namespace, versus a mere 20% in the article namespace and 14% in the project namespace. When silly userspace edits take greater priority over maintaining the encyclopedia (either thru content contributions or project-level edits), there's a problem.

 * Delete, WP:UP, WP:NOTSTUPID (no offense intended, that's the only shortcut to that section). TJRC (talk) 21:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Wikipedia is not a free webhost.  Peacock (talk) 00:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all. WP is not a free webhost for worthless games. --Calton | Talk 01:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:UP. The user can go back to Uncyclopedia and do this if she wants. This is not the place for it. Firestorm  Talk 04:15, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per EVula. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 05:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:UP.  young  american  (wtf?) 12:35, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. According to my edit percentage now, the Article namespace is 23% now, and Project namespace is 13%, whereas the user namespace is down to 40%. -- Myfavouritecolourispink 15:44, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Such a relatively minor shift of figures is irrelevant; the vast majority of your edits are still outside of where they need to be. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 16:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Requesting db-u1 before this closes will reduce your userspace edit count and help build your reputation. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems a little too many pages though, I'll request all of them to be deleted on User:Pinkgirl34/Click. -- Myfavouritecolourispink 01:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
