User page designed to lure Wikipedians away from the encyclopedia by an editor who has not edited in many months makes this a user page improperly being used as a personal web page. -- Suntag  ☼  06:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep all. These pages each contain one link to a non-Wikipedia web site (or in one case, two identical links to the same web site). But that's not a violation of policy as far as I know. Containing one link to a non-Wikipedia web site is not inappropriate. The problem is when a user page is used as a personal web page, not when the user page contains a link to a personal web page. Furthermore, Wikipedia has no claim on our Internet usage so as to make it improper to "lure" readers away from the encyclopedia. Finally, I could find no evidence that any attempt was made to discuss the alleged problems with these pages with the article creator(s) prior to nominating them for deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I removed User:Molmol1234567890, User:Military123456, and User:Greatminds0123456789. My read of NOT is that these user pages do not present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia (if they do, please explain). I'm not sure about distingushing "using" vs. "containing", but these user pages solely contain information that makes them a personal webpage that provide instructions to off wikipedia sites, such as referral links to web sites unrelated to Wikipedia. A focus of these user pages is to find readers with share interests for socializing or other interactions outside of Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a claim on Wikipedia's Internet usage (see What Wikipedia is not) and these social networking user pages do not facilitate communication among participants in Wikipedia's project to build an encyclopedia. -- Suntag  ☼  15:42, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Most of them are harmless. Delete Eddie, which appears to be trying to advertise an affiliate link. See WP:ELNO #17. Wronkiew (talk) 17:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but remove the link to his blog out of fear that he is only here for self-promotion. Let him link to his blog if he makes good faith contributions to wikipedia.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:07, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
