User:BlackpoolKickboxer2008/sandbox8
The user appears to be using Wikipedia as a web host (violating WP:NOT) by publishing the results of an online roleplaying game he does with his friends. Note that he "came second" in sandbox8.

 * Strong Delete. It's about time for people to learn that simply naming subpages "sandbox" won't allow WP:NOT violations. User pages and subpages have to be related to Wikipedia. I would have no issue with small unrelated bits, but this is definitely too much. Kotiwalo (talk) 14:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep As the creator of these pages I will decide if, and when, these pages are deleted, the sandbox pages 1–9 I was going to delete them anyway I was just researching how to delete the pages, however I need to keep 10 and 11 for future reference until 17 October 2009, I have ALL the information on the pages stored as documents on my PC and I WILL re-create and re-create the pages (sandboxes 10/11) if they keep on getting deleted. Whoever you are you can delte 1-9 but will you keep 10 and 11 please. BlackpoolKickboxer2008 (talk) 18:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Do I understand correctly, you are threatening to engage in page-create vandalism if consensus is that they are breaking the rules and should be deleted? Kotiwalo (talk) 18:24, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * They are MY pages like, and I have had them on my userpage since I joined Wikipedia last year so why should they be deleted now when they are basically 1 year old. Yes I am saying that I will re-create pages as they are in my Wikipedia account not on anyone elses are they, even if I have to rejoin Wikipedia with another username I will do that.

 * Read WP:USERPAGE. Your user page isn't yours - they are subject to rules as well. You can't use them as you like. Kotiwalo (talk) 18:31, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd also ask you to explain why this doesn't violate WP:NOT by being used as a scoreboard for some unrelated game. Kotiwalo (talk) 18:36, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should WP:SALT too? Dale 18:46, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've understood that salting is used where a larger group of editors recreates the page, because a single editor can be blocked. If a larger group (dynamic IPs for example) is doing it then salting is more appropriate. Kotiwalo (talk) 18:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * IPs are removing the deletion templates - . Dale 19:44, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But they can't recreate the pages if they are deleted. Kotiwalo (talk) 04:52, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:USERPAGE and WP:NOT. User pages like these are very disruptive because their proliferation spreads the wrong message about Wikipedia, inviting people to think this is "the web site that anyone edit" (but it's actually the encyclopedia, and only useful contributions should be kept). This is not a multiuser social club, and it's not a popular place to promote your ideas or recreation. Johnuniq (talk) 05:44, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per userpage guidelines and policies that we do not allow users to use Wikipedia as a venue for web-hosting. Adding that you are threatening to page-recreate, and have now used varying IP addresses to circumvent this AFD, I suggest you stop or risk being blocked. seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  06:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: This MFD should also cover Template:Big Brother endgame and File:Eye1so.gif which has a corrupted source.. seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  07:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. Kotiwalo (talk) 07:10, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Not the template. It's used by WP:BIGBRO on MANY articles (see Big Brother 2008 (UK) and Big Brother 2009 (UK)). Dale 09:50, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for clarification. Kotiwalo (talk) 10:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
