 * I'm actually unsure on this one. It does seem to be tangentially related to Wikipedia (after all, I do the same thing if someone wants me to revamp their userpage), and is related to the old and cobwebbed notion of Wikibucks. That being said, however, this user doesn't seem to have any idea of how Wikipedia works, what it's for, or--and this is the most important bit--any interest in learning. As such, I am finding it difficult to believe that this user started this thing as a way to drive edits; I find it more likely that he thinks it's (yet another) 'cool' game to play, and threw in the edits as a way to avoid deletion. I'll have to think on this one a bit more. → ROUX   ₪  15:50, 27 September 2009 (UTC) Delete; user refuses to engage in any sort of conversation about concerns with their edits, refuses to learn (he has been using nonfree images in his userspace since he started here, has been warned multiple times, and just keeps on doing it--just one example), and is generally being aggressively clueless. I honestly cannot tell if he is a clueless 13 year old child or a clever troll. It could go either way. In any case, he is here to essentially write fan puff pieces about Coldplay and engage in increasingly bizarre and byzantine userspace games and weirdness. We can't do much about the former except try--slow though it may be--to steer him in the direction of contributing useful encyclopedic content. For the latter, we can delete all this nonsense until he understands what Wikipedia is for. →  ROUX   ₪  19:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Keep I think he just wants a bit of fun besides he is only a kid aren't we being a bit harsh with him -- NotedGrant  Talk  16:56, 27 September 2009 (UTC) Rm comment by sock of banned user. → ROUX   ₪  01:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It seems that you don't understand what Wikipedia is for, either. → ROUX   ₪  18:01, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Im takeing a page form Deserted Cities's book WP:BITE, just kidding! Im on the fence too-- Coldplay   Expert  17:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment how about being a bit WP:CIVIL ?should guest books be deleted from WP too ?-- NotedGrant   Talk  18:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC) Rm comment by sock of banned user. → ROUX   ₪  01:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There is nothing incivil about pointing out that you don't understand what Wikipedia is, when you have demonstrated repeatedly that you do not. Yes, all guest books should be deleted from Wikipedia too; the vast majority of them are used by people who think Wikipedia is just another form of MySpace and do not contribute much, if anything, of value. However, that is unlikely to happen. → ROUX   ₪  18:18, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

 * You are treating Wikipedia like MySpace. → ROUX   ₪  21:53, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep this appears to be an attempt at a system like Reward board. It was only created yesterday, so I think the user should be given some time try to try develop it in to something. But the author should explain its purpose here.--Otterathome (talk) 19:20, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment Im shure that guestbook pages will survive but Im still undecided on this page...-- Coldplay   Expert  19:46, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Unless the user changes it so it's not like a shop. That's taking it a little to far. Wikipedia isn't a mall. Abce2 |  This is  not a test  20:13, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Edit to make less garish. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:18, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It doesn't seem to contribute to the encyclopedia, and I do not see the specific purpose. Wikipedia is not Myspace or Facebook. talking  birds  19:52, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is nothing to do with what Wikipedia is for. The suggestion that this "appears to be an attempt at a system like Wikipedia:Reward board" is superficially plausible, but there are an umber of differences. Perhaps the most important one is that we are dealing with users who have little or no interest in contributing to the encyclopedia, and are using it as a playground/ social networking site, and the "rewards" are for doing this, not for constructive editing. For example, over the last 5 days Guitarherochristopher has made nearly 300 edits, of which very few are in article space, and those few are mostly utterly trivial. Almost all the edits are to the user pages and user talk pages of a handful of individuals. many of the others involved have no article edits at all.

 * Delete this gaudy rubbish. Wikipedia is not MySpace. Crafty (talk) 21:35, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete user has no intention of working constructively to improve the site. Deserted Cities (talk) 21:41, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a personal webhost or a game site, which is what this user seems to be treating it as. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 00:59, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to be some sort of game or personal webhost, both against policy.-- Giants 27 ( c  |  s ) 01:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete As nonsense. Furthermore it promotes editcountitis, one's edit count should not be used as currency to buy things.  Triplestop  x3  01:55, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Leaving aside the point that this user does not want to be helped by other more experienced editors, the user appears to be treating Wikipedia as a social networking site. The concept of a shop goes against what Wikipedia is about - it is not a contest to see who can make the most edits. It is also not MySpace, even though the user seems to be treating it as such. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 11:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete For all reasons listed above. Futhermore, according to User talk:Coldplay Expert, GHC's father has posted on Coldplay Expert's talk page, explaining that GHC is autistic. While that would certainly explain the inane nature of his behavior, I find it highly unlikely that this is true. What are the chances this kid's father discovered who his "best friend" on Wikipedia is and posted a message to him on his talk page? This is just too bizarre. I would move for GHC to simply be banned so we forget about this headache. Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 12:56, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete While the page could theoretically be changed into something constructive, it seems to be the case that the user won't even try.    Sophus Bie  (talk) 08:08, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
