WP:STALEDRAFT; page has not had substantive edits in over a year except for bots, miscellaneous cleanup, and an IP that blanked and prodded the page. The last substantive edit to this page in June 2010 also happens to be the userspace owner's last edit. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:36, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Blank . Does not appear yet to be a sufficiently notable subject.  No easy to find good sources, and his personal websites seem to be unable to be found by my browser.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:02, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:STALEDRAFT states (my bolding): "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion. Because this page violates WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:STALEDRAFT, it should be deleted.

 * I support deletion over blanking. Whereas deletion enforces the policy that Wikipedia is not a web host, blanking does not because the content remains visible in the page history. Cunard (talk) 07:53, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that this page was a valid draft intended to become suitable mainspace content and should not be connected to WP:NOTWEBHOST.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Regardless of 's initial intention, the user's indefinitely hosting the page in userspace violates WP:NOTWEBHOST. Cunard (talk) 16:48, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you misread the intent of the section What_Wikipedia_is_not. I am sure that section was never intended to refer to good-faith article drafts in userspace.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:15, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTWEBHOST states (my bolding): "Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, social network, or memorial site". Indefinitely preserving an inadequately sourced, non-notable BLP in userspace violates the intent of WP:NOTWEBHOST. Your motive for blanking pages: "The other factor I consider is to discourage needless MfD nominations by failing to reward them when other options (especially as listed at the top of the MfD page or at WP:UP) have not been addressed. —SmokeyJoe, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Tbmorgan74/vincent" is noted but rejected. Users are, in good faith, nominating pages for deletion at MfD. They, like I, have rejected blanking after careful thought. The userpage has been subject to vandalism multiple times. To preserve an unwatched BLP in userspace where it can be maliciously edited is not appropriate. Deletion is the best way to rectify this situation. Cunard (talk) 17:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I see no vandalism, but do see that two IPs (likely the user, if not someone connected to the subject, or both) blanked the page. While I maintain that "WP:NOTWEBHOST" doesn't apply, the reverted blanking, and the fact that it is an abandoned BLP (without demonstrated notability) are two good reasons to delete.


 * Delete. Abandoned BLP not suitable for mainspace.  Note that past attempts to blank were reverted.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:12, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
