Page is redundant with Ray Charles. Blake Gripling (talk) 14:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - it may be redundant but it's in USER space and does not seem to be violating any Wikipedia policies. It does seem a bit strange to duplicate an article from MAIN space into one's own USER space but it doesn't seem to violate any of the policies and guidelines in WP:USER.  --Richard (talk) 19:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I added the userpage tag to make it clear to any viewers that this is a user page and not a Wikipedia article. --Richard (talk) 19:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - somewhat peculiar as a user page, but there might be a good reason for it - perhaps the user was planning to test edits here before making them to the main article? In any case, I don't think it violates any of our userspace policies. Terraxos (talk) 19:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep adding user page, as Richardshusr did, is usually the appropriate response to article replication in userspace. Polit i zer talk / contribs 05:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Replicating an article for one's userpage is generally fine&mdash;we accord an established editor a good lot of latitude in the fashioning of his or her userpage&mdash;but the initial copy-and-paste creation suggests an attribution to one's self (without malice, to be sure) of the content, and in the absence of any link to Ray Charles or the history thereof, this is most probably a copyvio (at the very least, the spirit that underlies our project is, consistent with our use of the GFDL, one of free content but with attribution, and it's not ideal for a userpage to tend otherwise); adding a note to the bottom of the page to the effect that the page replicates the content of an article and with a link to the history of Ray Charles should resolve the problem (it can't hurt to make a comment of the same substance in the attendant edit summary, lest there should be any question about the initial edit). 68.249.2.30 (talk) 07:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Violates no actual guideline. Collect (talk) 12:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per reasoning that it isn't hurting anything being in userspace. ArcAngel (talk) 21:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
