User:Andypandy.UK/Free software
List of links created nearly two years ago, and untouched since then apart from one URL change. Creator, User:Andypandy.UK, has not edited Wikipedia for nearly a year. Was PRODded, but rejected by User:Ned Scott, with no reason given other than his personal belief that WP:PROD policy should be changed to not cover pages in userspace. --Stormie (talk) 10:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete A pile of off-wiki links; no relevance to Wikipedia at all. PeterSymonds (talk)  11:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per PROD.  MBisanz  talk 12:34, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Care to expand on that, since the prodding user gave no rationale? -- Ned Scott 04:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Aye, PROD is for non-controversial deletions, including those of userpages of retired users, so a PROD tag is a good enough reason to get rid of this old page.  MBisanz  talk 11:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No intrinsic value to this page.  This is an encyclopedia, not a personal homepage.  CrispMuncher (talk) 14:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't really think one can complain that I removed a prod without a reason when the prod itself was added without a reason. If you want more of a reason, however weak it might be, I simply didn't see it as problematic. Plus, the user was once very active, and as such didn't meet the requirements to have their userspace content prodded. -- Ned Scott 00:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Blank or delete due to no prospect of it leading to serious contribution to the encyclopedia. Undelete if the user can give even a weak rationale.  Agree that PROD should not be used for other users userspace, where those users are/were contributing wikipedians.  Time since last edit is irrelevant.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per PeterSymonds and SmokeyJoe, but do not keep as a blank page. While I think the PROD should have been allowed to continue, I can't really fault the removal of a reasonless PROD tag. A deletion request should always have a reason, even if it's something as basic and generic as "Not useful to the encyclopedia". –Black Falcon (Talk) 18:50, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
