User:Gabriel Kent/archive:Philosophical Perspective on the Spirit of Christmas


Delete per WP:NOTWEBHOST. User's creative writing which was previously added to the Christmas article as a copy/paste from Gabriel Kent's personal website. The user created an article for it, but the article was deleted at Articles for deletion/Philosophical Perspective on the Spirit of Christmas. The user assumed responsibility for developing the material in userspace, but there is no hope for it as an article. Binksternet (talk) 05:22, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep . Reasonable leeway for a Wikipedian.  Page view stats provide no indication of any NOTWEBHOST issue.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Persuaded by others, that this is more an archive of rejected content than an expression of a Wikipedian identity.  This edit demonstrates that.  Agree, long term archival of deleted material is not OK, and yes, the purpose of the page is highly questionable.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:47, 8 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as per WP:G4. Clearly this page only exists to circumvent the deletion discussion. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:44, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It was the user's mistake in ignorance to put it in mainspace. It was never meant to be an article, and it is not being hosted as an article, but as original work by the user in whose userspace it is located.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:37, 15 June 2015 (UTC).  As the AfD considered only the appropriateness in mainspace, and as it is so obviously not an article but a Wikipedian's personal expression, G4 doesn't apply.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:40, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * As the user made accepted contributions, he is entitled leeway in userspace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:39, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Still violates WP:NOTWEBHOST. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 12:55, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Pageview stats indicate that there is no NOTWEBHOST violation in play. The MfD nomination, however, caused it to be read by many people, demonstrating the counterproductivity of these nominations.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:40, 2 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a place to host material which "was never meant to be an article, and it is not being hosted as an article, but as original work", see WP:UP: "Userspace is not a free web host... Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion", also WP:NOTESSAY. JohnCD (talk)
 * Delete. Editor hasn't been here for over five years. Leeway would be given to an active user and if then it'd be questionable. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:24, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
