User:Alantauber

 * Keep Take it to the user's talk page first. There's no blatant violation of policy here, so nothing urgent. -- Ned Scott 08:50, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I have followed up the suggestion by Ned Scott. The template for deletion has been removed, and I have left a follow up message on the talk page in attempt to explain the situation and options. =Species8473=  (talk) 15:12, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for Now Though this is a violation of WP:NOT, and is an inappropriate use of userspace according to WP:USER, we should ignore those for now. Though this user registered a while back, I would still consider him a newbie since he has just over 20 edits, some of which were recent. Thus I believe WP:BITE applies here.--SJP (talk) 08:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I am just trying to figure this all out. I see other pages of friends of mine in Tech mostly, that have a bio page. I am trying to figure out what they do differently. Seems to be they help out more on Wiki. I would be glad to do more editing as soon as I learn what the heck I'm doing

Thanks for your understanding. I will consult with my smart people here in Boston.

 * Keep. Is a wikipedia mainspace contributor.  Userpage is well within what is considered appropriate for a contributor.  Advise Alan that he should seek to have his wikipedian contributions exceed the amount of content about himself, though there is no time limit.  I expect that he could probably write an article about a subject or two from his knowledge of Guinea, using independent reliable sources, of course.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
