These lists, some of which have been untouched for two years, seem to have been created simply for one person's interests and information. WP:NOTHOST. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:15, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, clear cut WP:NOTWEBHOST. See similar Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Eric444/Sandbox (2nd nomination). Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:57, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Corresponds to the user's mainspace contributions.  Over 15 000 mainspace contributions.  Several of his similar userspace pages were moved to mainspace.  The subpages are clearly related to the user's project contributions and so are NOT covered by WP:NOTWEBHOST.  Pageview stats prove this as well.  Do not attempt to delete other's userspace without good reason.  If the user is long inactive, and if the information is out of date or surely no longer likely to have value in mainspace, then blank with Inactive userpage blanked.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:37, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - Since the user is a currently active editor, I will wait for a statement from the editor.  However, I don't favor deleting files because of abandonment unless the users have departed.  It is unlikely that I will favor deletion.  I don't know whether I will be neutral or will support a Keep, on hearing from the editor.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:03, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I tend to agree with here. If the editor is still active or semi-active (within the past year or two, I'd say), I would think we shouldn't rush to delete these. There's some useful content here. Looking at the editor's Contributions, I see he or she had edits today. So, while not a !vote, I'd say I'm leaning keep here per Robert's comment above. -DM
 * Keep. This has nothing to do with NOTHOST. These look to me like detailed draft WP list articles, on a valid WP list topic (unlike the previous MfD mentioned above), that a WP editor has spent considerable time, and skill, creating but never published.  They seem to be still editing. Britishfinance (talk) 12:51, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment The editor's focus has been on top-ten lists. Per this discussion at AfD, there is some precedent and consensus that top 40 lists are extraneous. The user has admitted he understands this on my talk page, which means these pages are being disguised as actual Wiki-articles in user space with no intent to publish.

 * Comment If an article is published then it can be taken to AfD for consideration. However, the material is not so offensive that it should be deleted before publishing. Any established editor is owed that courtesy. Britishfinance (talk) 15:35, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Obvious, borderline speedy Keep per User:SmokeyJoe; long-term active users should and do get a much broader benefit of the doubt with what they choose to keep in their userspace. bd2412  T 23:39, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * But what about the user page guideline that say "userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles." These user pages are not intended to be published. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 02:21, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
 * They look intended to be moved to mainspace to me. These pages may be the least worthy, which may be why the user is working with them the least.  This is not a reason for you clean up someone else's drawers.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:32, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - sandbox pages with info in area where user actively writes. The idea this violates WEBHOST is so farcical it's hard to believe anyone could argue it in good faith. Wily D  10:15, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep all - User space content that is related to the development of Wikipedia. -- Whpq (talk) 12:16, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
