User:Blehblah/ss
An apparent essay. Does not seem to be related to Wikipedia. Request for an explanation not replied to. User's only edits have been creation of essays in user space, appears to be using Wikipedia as a free web host. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems to be nothing more than an essay, and not an article draft in userspace. Firestorm  Talk 05:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * comment User:Blehblah/xx seems to he incompletely nominated too. This user only pops into Wikipedia about once a month, so you may have to give them till the end of March to get an answer. These pages are harmless, even if useless. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:10, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep There is no requirement that everything in userspace by an article, or intended as such. There is, indeed, no requirement that everything in userspace be "related to WP."  The essay is not spam, is short, and within reasonable use.  User is clearly new - and deletion of everything is pretty sure to ensure he will not become an editor here.

 * Actually, with regard to the first sentence in your comment:
 * From What Wikipedia is not: " Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they may be used only to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. ... The focus of user pages should not be social networking, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration."
 * From User page: "Your userpage is for anything that is compatible with the Wikipedia project. ... [T]hink of it as a way of organizing the work that you are doing on the articles in Wikipedia, and also a way of helping other editors to understand with whom they are working."

 * Keep per Collect. The draft was only created on February 20. THF (talk) 17:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * My point in mentioning that is not related to Wikipedia is that this user has not demonstrated any interest in editing Wikipedia, just in using it as a "storage space" and Wikipedia is not a free web host. These pages seem to be this persons personal blog and they have never edited outside of user space. One of these was already deleted, and it was from October, so they have had plenty of time to learn the ropes, but haven't bothered.Beeblebrox (talk) 17:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete the user has been here since December and has another essay like this. Pre should be referred to Google Docs. Yellowweasel (talk) 02:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom: Wikipedia is not a free webhost. The user has been active since October (visible in the deleted contributions) and all edits have been to userspace essays that are unrelated to Wikipedia. –Black Falcon (Talk) 03:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Unlike the previously deleted material for this user, the material here could be worked towards inclusion in Wikipedia. We cannot second guess what the intention is, and we need to assume good faith as there is nothing harmful in the material (I have considered if the material is a copyvio, but have no evidence of that either). The appropriate course of action is to leave a message on the user's talkpage indicating curiosity regarding the material and offering assistance with editing Wikipedia. Unless it can be proved that the material is specifically disallowed in the guideline: User page, and I see no evidence of that (it looks like notes on American Romanticism ), then there is no reason to delete.  SilkTork  *YES! 11:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I did leave a talk page message inquiring as to the purpose of these pages. To date there has been no reply. My argument to delete is based on WP:NOTWEBHOST because all this user has done is to record their own private musings about things in user space. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:21, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete if necessary, but advise another attempt at offering the user advice on how to work here more usefully. He may have some potentially useful plans for these, and with help, he might realise them, I tend to doubt it, but we should give him the opportunity. DGG (talk) 08:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
