As per the tag, this userspace draft is written like a personal essay, making this fail WP:UP. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:29, 3 October 2021 (UTC) Robert McClenon (talk) 21:58, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. This was one among the three articles I userfied for the user in 2009, and this was meant to enhance the article on David Pearce (transhumanist). I do see that the user to that article, so I believe the purpose of the userfication was met and can the page can be removed.  Jay (Talk) 21:43, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or Move:
 * This page is in the user space of a user who has not edited in six years. There is no policy or guideline or common sense rule that requires that pages be kept in user space for users who have gone away.
 * This page is in the nature of a draft. It is not a personal essay, but is about a published essay.  If it were submitted for review as a draft, it would be declined, not rejected or tagged for deletion.  But it is in the user space of a departed user.
 * If someone wants to take over this page, they should be allowed to do so. Otherwise it should be available for claiming later via requests for undeletion.
 * Keep. Completely inoffensive, and a long way within leeway for a very productive editor. The page is far less offensive than random policing of others’ userspace.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep This content is not extensive in the context of WP:UP. Even ignoring that, minor things such as this, when done by a user who is here to build an encyclopedia, do not warrant the policing of userspace. —  csc -1 17:37, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Restore article to mainspace and redirect from there - if this were simply an article userfied after deleted at AfD, that's one of the things we should typically delete. However, if material from that undeleted article was then used in mainspace, we need the history intact. There's a problem, however, in that it looks like the article wasn't actually undeleted but copy/paste moved by, which doesn't preserve the history (unless Jay was the sole author of the original article). IMO the best course would be to delete this (as it hasn't been modified, it seems), restore that actual article to mainspace, then redirect that to the Pearce article. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 23:23, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * As the user had asked for only the text of the article for reference, and not the article itself, I copied the best last version and offered the user the whole deleted 92 versions, but it does look like the user did not want that. Jay (talk) 06:14, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this draft it belongs to a user who was last active in 2015. Catfurball (talk) 16:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Courtesy blank and move on. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 04:22, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Retain in some form per those above. Keeping as is, moving and redirecting, or blanking are all superior to deleting the page in this case. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 11:51, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
