 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was:  keep. As the user is an active contributor elsewhere on wiki, a balance of wp:notwebhost, and WP:EM has to be reached. Considering that the pages can be seen to have some value as a testing and experimentation space, after reading the discussion, I'm closing this as keep. This is probably a minor violation of wp:notwebhost, but our policies aren't absolute. (non-admin closure)  Alex Noble    - talk  19:14, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Improper use of Wikipedia as a webhost (WP:NOTWEBHOST). Articles contain information about fake association football tournaments that were never and are never scheduled to occur. I believe this falls under WP:UP: "Extensive writings and material on topics having virtually no chance whatsoever of being directly useful to the project, its community, or an encyclopedia article".

 * Leaning “Keep”. The improperness of these pages is not obvious, and the case has not been made. Userspace materials are not required to be “directly” useful, and the user is a contributor.  These pages look to me to be well within reasonable leeway for a contributor.  A case for deletion should explain how this is being intended for offsite use, or that the information is false, misleading, or fictitious. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:42, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per SmokeyJoe. I see the workings of articles here, so not sure I see a WP:NOTWEBHOST violation. There's potentiall for COI issues, in another namespace, but I'm not sure I see a reason for deletion. Doug Mehus T · C  14:00, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * thank you for your comments, they were very helpful to me. To clarify my (admittedly poor) nomination, I believe that the scope of these pages is beyond what is acceptable by the user page guidelines. I understand the case for experimentation, especially on article that make use of templates and tables. This however seems to me like a personal project, similar to the political predictions on this user's main page (User:Foghe). I don't think this type of content is actively harmful, I just didn't think it was allowed on Wikipedia – even in User space. BLAIXX 16:15, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * comment I have no knowledge of any such competition, the (few) matches and sources I checked are from the World Cup Qualifieres. The user seems to have quite a few pages like this, some look like templates for articles (perfectly OK), some look like fictional tournaments, as this one (not clearly OK, but not clearly NOK either), predictions for US midterms (WP not a webhost...?), and so on... I do not know what to think. Did anyone tried to ask User:Foghe what is the point? - Nabla (talk) 21:52, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
