User:EZW/Joel W. Gonzales
Delete This is a copy of an article which has been deleted at least fifteen times under different names: deletion logs at. There have been at least two AfDs on this: Articles for deletion/Joel W. Gonzales and Articles for deletion/Lil Mirkk. It has been salted under at least two titles. The creator of the article has stated that Gonzales is his client, so that the article is effectively spam. The creator of the article used at least 6 different accounts to keep re-creating this article and was indefinitely blocked. (See Sockpuppet investigations/EZW/Archive.) User was then unblocked after promising an admin he would behave better (Block log: .) The article was userfied on 2 December 2009 "for future improvement". However, the article has not been substantially changed in content: there have been a few minor changes to references etc. The article has now been re-created (for the sixteenth time) at Joel William Gonzales and has been tagged for speedy deletion under G4 (Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). This userfied copy was previously likewise tagged under G4, but this was declined with the edit summary G4 Excludes "content moved to user space for explicit improvement:" which the history shows is the case here. However, the description under CSD G4 says that it excludes "content moved to user space for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy)". Even if we assume good faith to the extent of supposing that the user's original purpose in requesting a userfied copy was for explicit improvement, it has not in fact been used for that purpose, and, whatever the intention, the effect of userfication has simply been "to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy". I also think, in view of the user's history, assuming good faith to that extent is being somewhat generous. This spam page for a non-notable actor qualifies for speedy deletion under G4 in my opinion, but as this was declined on 7 January I am bringing it here.

 * Delete, persistently recreated nuisance entry from paid (it seems) editor. Hairhorn (talk) 12:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, minor actor who does not meet WP:ENT. As noted above, this is a persistently recreated entry from a user who has stated that he's the subject's agent/manager.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 16:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - userspace is not meant to be a way of evading AFD consensus. This isn't going to make into mainspace any time soon, and isn't any more acceptable as a userpage than an article. Robofish (talk) 17:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete this paid vanispamcruftisement per above. MER-C 08:47, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Update on deletions Above I said that this article had been deleted at least 15 times, and there had been two AfDs on it. Since I wrote that two days ago the totals have now increased to 16 deletions and 3 AfDS: Articles for deletion/Joel William Gonzales is the latest.
