Appears to be a list of tennis scores for personal use from a single purpose account, due to wikipedia having very good wikicode support, violates WP:NOT. I found no article using this list and it's non-encyclopedic trivia. Other page with the exaxt same setup: --Enric Naval (talk) 21:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC) Enric Naval (talk) 21:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

 * weak Keep for now. Is conceiveably a good faith attempt to build encyclopedic material.  Talk to the user first.  If he wants to use good wikicode, help him do it elsewhere.  Help, don't bite.  If he won't talk back, maybe then you should bring it to MfD.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:11, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the first page was edited for six months by the same user, who never did edits to any other page. The second page has displayed the same behaviour. The only incoming link to any of any of those pages is a complain on ANI. The name of the user looks like a placeholder for lists of scores. All of this stretches my good faith just a little too much. I moved the list to the user page and I will leave a message here for him to find another host. --Enric Naval (talk) 18:09, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hadn't noticed all that. If he comes back, I'd advise him to consider the following from WP:NOT:

If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites that provide wiki hosting (free or for money). You can also install wiki software on your server. See the Wiki Science wikibook for information on doing this. Scratchpad Wiki Labs also allows personal wikis. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:18, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment It should probably be noted that all of this material is in fact situated in mainspace at present; the page appears to aggregate the "Grand Slam finals - Singles" sections that appear in the biographies of each of the players listed (see, e.g., Pete Sampras, whence the first entry on the instant page comes), and none of the content appears to have been created by Tennis scores (I don't imagine that there should be any GFDL problems; the arrangement of the data in the tables of scores cannot be understood as requiring or reflecting any creativity, originality, or deliberate exclusion), such that it may not be fair to say that the user has created offline content that he means to preserve (for personal use) on-wiki in view of MW's or "[W]ikipedia['s] having very good wikicode support". User:Tennis scores 2 is simply an updated version of User:Tennis scores, and one might reasonably conclude that the user abandoned or lost the password for his first account and adopted the second to recreate the content that he/she might otherwise have undertaken only to update; we may safely say, then, I suppose, that if we finally permit the user to use his userpage in this fashion, we might nevertheless delete the userpage of the older account, to which deletion the user, having no further use for (or perhaps even access to) the older account, would surely accede. (Not taking any position on the underlying issue; only qualifying/clarifying some facts.) Joe 06:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, so, this content actually appears on the encyclopedia? Well, I'll be damned :) --Enric Naval (talk) 07:16, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

MOOTI've deleted this and tagged the user page as the user is an indef blocked puppetmaster. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 02:11, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. The content is already in mainspace, so there's no reason to keep it. Bart133 (t) (c) 00:32, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
