User:A cutts
An article in userspace, editor hasn't edited it or anything else for seven months. Not clear what it is about, apparently OR. Dougweller (talk) 20:57, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Weakish keep or subpagify either way, throw Userspace draft on there to prevent indexing (which I've done). –xenotalk 20:59, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This looks like an opinion piece of sorts. These types of essays belong in blog posts, not on Wikipedia. The user has no mainspace edits, has not edited since May, and shows no indication that he is planning on moving this to the mainspace. Violates WP:UP #2 (extensive discussion unrelated to Wikipedia) and #4 (extensive personal opinions unrelated to Wikipedia), and arguably #6 (promotion) given the subsection on the "Project For Awesome".

 * Delete it reads like an op-ed piece. It appears that the editor's only goal was to create such a page.  ~ DC (Talk&#124;Edits) 05:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep No rules against OR in userspace - this is not mainspace, and does not have to meet article requirements. Not a blog, hence not deletable as one.  Mark as noindex? Fine. But not deletable per se. Collect (talk) 00:45, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is so much a question of "OR in userspace" (you are correct that there is no prohibition against OR in userspace per se) as it is a question of a user page not being used to "facilitate communication among participants in [Wikipedia] to build an encyclopedia", containing "substantial content ... that is unrelated to Wikipedia", using Wikipedia as a "general hosting service", and failing to be "part of [a user's] efforts to contribute to the project". (quoted from the introduction of User page) –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 21:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:UP #4 ("extensive personal opinions on matters unrelated to Wikipedia") and possibly #5 ("personal information of other persons without their consent"). This appears to be a copy of a school essay rather than an attempt to write an encyclopedia article, and therefore falls under WP:UP#NOT #4. The fact that it includes personal information (including names) about living people, one of whom is below the age of majority in Arizona, raises issues with WP:BLP and possibly WP:UP#NOT #5. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 21:22, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Do not attempt to write articles about your frends or colleagues.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
