Talk:Maria Sharapova/Tennis expert's recommendation
This 'sub-page' is superfluous to requirements. The page Maria Sharapova/Tennis expert's recommendation was initially created 10:40, 6 May 2009 (UTC) by User:Tennis expert. After a brief discussion, it was moved to Talk:Maria Sharapova/Tennis expert's recommendation by Someguy1221 on the grounds that it did not belong in mainspace. What Someguy probably did not realise is that the exact identical User:Tennis expert/Maria Sharapova was created 20 minutes after the creation of the former.

Since then, there has been some discussion about whether/where this page belongs, but not much concrete action; the creator appears adamant on keeping both articles without adequate explanation as to what these different pages are destined for. The general view appears that this is better off in userspace. I therefore nominate this page for deletion, while it seems most others have no problem keeping the version which is already in userspace. -- Ohconfucius (talk) 15:13, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment this diff shows the difference between the talk-space article prior to this MFD and the current version of User:Tennis expert/Maria Sharapova. I have no particular opinion as to which copy should exist, but it seems a bad idea to have both from a GFDL attribution compliance perspective. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 16:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably best to delete. I may seem like Ohconfucius's twin, but it's not the case: I have contributed heavily to one tennis article and a little to this one. User space seems like the appropriate place for this. I do wish TE was collaborating effectively, since he has much knowledge on the topic. Tony   (talk)  16:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to me like the user space one is justified, but this one not. Alonsornunez  Comments  21:21, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Material like such a full-fledged page should either be a) on the regular talk page (in form of input to a discussion—not as a complete article), or b) in the user's sandbox. I can't see why it should be two places. So in the user space of its creator seems like the best idea.--HJensen, talk 22:39, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Per HJensen. Hi878 (talk) 18:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy as sandbox.  And as stated above.  Collect (talk) 21:18, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * As I said in the nomination, there is already a carbon copy in userspace at User:Tennis expert/Maria Sharapova. Ohconfucius (talk) 02:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
