Per WP:USER, WP:WEBHOST. Wikipedia isn't really the place for articles about a Mary Sue TV show. roux   00:16, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Uhhhh..... A Mary Sue TV Show?!?!? I use it to get better on how to make an episode section on a episode list article. So please don't detete it. I've spent a long time making those episodes. I't took a lot of thought to make the episodes.P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 00:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob


 * Keep Looks pretty fun actually. No worse than the movie.  Majorly  talk  00:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete along with User:DJ WikiBob/Sandbox and User:DJ WikiBob/Sandbox 3 as Wikipedia is not MySpace. Also, just last month I was debating whether or not to take this to MfD myself at WP:AN/K. John Sloan (view / chat) 00:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed to Neutral. It is harmless and a lot of good points have been raised below. John Sloan (view / chat) 16:07, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't get what your saying John. P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 00:41, 31 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob
 * Then I suggest you have a read of WP:USER and WP:MYSPACE. Don't worry to much about this Bob, you havent broken any strict rules. If you ever need any help or advice as you're learning about Wikipedia, you're free to ask at my talk page! John Sloan (view / chat) 00:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's the thing I still don't get, why would someone delete someones user subpage? I mean, it's what they may use that helps them get better on Wikipedia. P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 00:51, 31 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob
 * Because we have guidelines for what is acceptable in userspace, and what isn't. Unfortunately, your sandboxes come under the heading of 'isn't'. It's not a huge deal; plenty of people make the same mistake. We just don't keep the pages around, is all. // roux    00:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * So, is my sandbox going to be deleted or what? P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 00:56, 31 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob

In all honesty, because your subpage is harmless, I doubt it will get deleted. This is only a deletion discussion. Theres no guarantee it will be deleted yet! John Sloan (view / chat) 00:58, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm gonna put everything in the sandbox into a word document (just incase it gets deleted :)). P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 01:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob
 * Thats a very good idea! Happy new year and happy editing on the Wiki :-) John Sloan (view / chat) 01:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * You to John! P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 01:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob


 * Keep Except for the main user page and main talk page, I give a lot of leeway on user-space content. Of course, nothing copyright, blp, etc.  I'd be inclined to delete if it was actually being used as a web presence.  For example, if I put a copy of my resume on an out-of-the-way sub-page, and there was no evidence I was passing the link around, I'd be more inclined to let it go than if the URL was on all of my social-networking pages.  This looks like sandbox-y/experimental material to me, so let him keep it.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  02:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep No sound reason for deletion. No harm. Sandbox clearly marked. Nothing for anyone to take umbrage at. Collect (talk) 02:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - definately looks like material to assist in editing the encyclopedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:58, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It is a hoax tv series; see User:DJ WikiBob/Sandbox for the other half; Grammy-nominated my arse. Someone needs to point out grammy awards are for audio work, not video. Ironholds (talk) 13:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Um -- Nope. Grammys include such areas as album design, music videos and more. They are not restricted to "audio work."  Collect (talk) 13:42, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what I meant was audio- and music-related awards. The same as the oscars are technically "film awards" but are not just limited to the content you see on screen. My point was that it is an obvious hoax. Ironholds (talk) 13:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: Wikipedia is not a webhost nor a place to air hoaxes; see User:DJ WikiBob/Sandbox for the other half. "Grammy nominated"? Ironholds (talk) 13:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Maybe it could use a humor banner on the top, but it's a reasonable experimental sandbox page. Townlake (talk) 14:27, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The sandboxes are about experimenting with formatting and wording for TV show, episode list and related pages, which the editor edits. While the formatting can be transferred to a Word document, it can't be easily compared what coding produced what result and can't be edited like Mediawiki does. This is not a hoax because they're clearly named sandboxes. Revelian (talk) 14:30, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as legitimate sandbox experimentation. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  15:27, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed the award show to another one, so no one gets suspicious; I changed it on here.P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 20:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob
 * Keep. User's explanation clarifies that it is helpful for him to experiment and edit Wikipedia. Double Blue  (talk) 16:19, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
