Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Bjornke


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was a clear consensus to delete (I deleted both the user and user talk pages as the content was on both). I will refer the issue to oversight who ultimately make any decision regarding whether content should be removed from our servers using that tool, as my opinion or community consensus does not bind their decision.

User:Bjornke
User pages are not for self-promotion. KurtRaschke (talk) 03:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * VERY STRONG KEEP -This was for a Friend of Mine who I thaught would like to be put into an encyclopedia as I thaught he should be recognised for His Contributations to History, Medicine, and his New Inventions. Bjornke (talk) 03:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC) — Bjornke (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * VERY STRONG KEEP -If it was for ME, I would agree with you, however, I do not. I would sugest you go searching for others who actually do use there pages for Self-Promotion. If you would have READ the END NOTE CAREFULLY, it would have made it much easier for you to understand that this is for a friend of mine, not me. Bjornke (talk) 03:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - per self promotion. Page serves no encyclopedic purpose, which is fine in userspace, but also fails to say antyhing about the user, which is the point of userspace. You can't use your userpage as an end-run around notability rules for encyclopedia articles. You also don't get to vote twice. I have indented your vote and removed the dividing lines. // roux   03:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * VERY STRONG KEEP Nothing is wrong with this page Apovolot (talk) 04:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep As WP:SOAP doesn't apply to user space (I think). Guy0307 (talk) 07:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Per WP:USER, SOAP does generally apply, though more latitude is given. // roux'''   07:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Roux. Jclemens (talk) 08:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * VERY STRONG DELETE (lol). per Roux. Message from XENU u, t  13:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It does not count as spam, it does not count as harmful, and by gosh the amount of "self-promotion" in it is small. If we were to delete all pages with the outrageous claim that the user has a good memory, how many more would be submitted for deletion? Surely there are more important cases out there?  AFAICT, the relevant part under "self-promotion" is " Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable."  Which is clearly not the case here. It is not linked from anything, nor to anything. Ergo, WP:SOAP does not apply.  Collect (talk) 14:37, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The page is in direct violation of WP:UP. There is nothing here about the user's activities as a Wikipedian and the stated goal of the page is to "further popularize" (as the page itself puts it) a friend of the page's creator. Wikipedia is not a free webhost and such things belong on myspace.com or similar off-Wiki sites but not on a Wikipedia userpage. Nsk92 (talk) 18:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Meh, user isn't a contributor. No edits to mainspace. We are not a place for free hosting. User pages for for people who actually contribute to the project. Spartaz Humbug! 20:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. User pages should not be used to publicize personal information about other people, particularly minors. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:23, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Gaming user space to create an article about someone that would not otherwise pass WP:N. Pcap ping  09:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wikipedia is not a free web host to keep material like this. And as the page itself clearly states, Nyssa Sanches uses the account Bjornke to further popularize Brandon Ragland for his remarkabel Memory. OK, so he may be a genius and all, but that doesn't mean we should let promoting pages like this exist in violation of policy.  C h a m a l  talk 12:38, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The page is blatant advertising, and used only for this purpose. That's not why we have user-pages. Nowhere does it say: If a person or subject isn't notable enough for inclusion, make a user-page for them instead. --Eivind Kjørstad (talk) 09:08, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: The last comment of the use page explains that Nyssa Sanches uses the account Bjornke to further popularize Brandon Ragland for his remarkabel Memory and that, more than anything, explains why this user page is at MfD. That statement affirms that this is a SPA and one need only to look at the edit history to see the users actions support the statement. What may I not have on my user page? contains 14 basic guidelines including number 2: "Extensive discussion not related to Wikipedia"; number 5 "Personal information of other persons without their consent" and number 7: "Extensive self-promotional material that is unrelated to your activities as a Wikipedian", any of which can be applied to this userpage. Also important in all of this is the username itself. According to the first response in this MfD Bjornke stated: "This was for a Friend of Mine who I thaught would like to be put into an encyclopedia as I thaught he should be recognised for His Contributations to History, Medicine, and his New Inventions." and follows up with another statement that closes with "it would have made it much easier for you to understand that this is for a friend of mine, not me". These comments indicate a possible violation of the Wikipedia username policy which, under the "Real names" header, says "You should not register under any name that would lead others to assume your account is associated with any person other than yourself."

 * Move to mainspace, then delete as not notable Or you could just snowball it now.  -- Thin  boy  00  @969, i.e. 22:15, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment (may be important, please read) If this is without permission of the subject (and isn't notable), shouldn't it go to oversight? -- Thin boy  00  @972, i.e. 22:20, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not myspace, no mitigating encyclopedic contributions. MER-C 11:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete and oversight deleted contributions This should be done as this page effectively outs a 7th grader. Last I heard, 7th graders were minors. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 11:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
