Delete Previously deleted through Articles for deletion/Giovanni Mascellaro. Author has basically no other contributions and has been reinserting content categories to this draft/fake article. Pichpich (talk) 18:58, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I cannot see a problem apart from the categories. So lets just remove them and let the draft stay. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:39, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It still falls under WP:FAKEARTICLE and hasn't been edited in a year (save the reinsertion of categories) It's also a clear conflict of interest and pretty darn close to spam. The user's sole other contribution is this revealing edit. The same article was also deleted as spam on it.wiki. I'm all for giving users the benefit of the doubt but this is not in the acceptable range. Pichpich (talk) 20:55, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:FAKEARTICLE states: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion. Because this page violates WP:FAKEARTICLE and WP:NOTWEBHOST, it should be deleted.

 * I agree with 's comments above about this draft of a deleted article being spam. Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Alexej66/Giovanni Mascellaro reveals 3 links to this page: User talk:Alexej66, Miscellany for deletion, and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Alexej66/Giovanni Mascellaro. These 3 links were generated after 's MfD nomination on 18:58, 19 April 2011 (UTC). Yet, this page was viewed 76 times in February 2011 and 77 times in March 2011. Prior to the MfD nomination, the page had been last edited on 10:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC) by . Because the pageviews could not have come from recent changes patrol and because the pageviews could not have come through Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Alexej66/Giovanni Mascellaro which was empty prior to the nomination, it is likely that this userpage draft is linked to from an off-wiki website. This abuse of Wikipedia should not be tolerated. Delete per WP:NOTADVERTISING. Cunard (talk) 06:59, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
