User:Hank Green
Abandoned copy of a draft page, article in main namespace. WP:UP or WP:FAKEARTICLE. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:55, 28 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:FAKEARTICLE.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 05:27, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 *  Weak keep Delete or move to a subpage or delete the other users versions as well: (See more comments below) I would not call this a "fake" - it is a user page and the user appears to be Hank Green. The "problem", which should not really held against users and their user pages but often is in MfD discussions, is that the user has only made a handful (fingerful?) of very minor mainspace edits over the course of about a week (July 29 and August 6, 2009), and creating the user page on July 22, 2009. I think if the page is tagged with a  it should solve any confusion. Soundvisions1 (talk) 13:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You know that this is just an incomplete version of our Hank Green article, that was in the end never used in the rewrite, right? See Deletion review/Log/2009 August 8 for more.  Furthermore: Given that there are at least three userspace drafts of this, one (possibly two) of which was used in the rewrite, what makes you think that this is a real user autobiography?

 * Reply: I knew nothing of Hank Green until just now. Likewise I didn't know about three userifed versions of the article either. At first glance this seemed like numerous other userpages I have seen that use a similar format. In assuming good faith I looked at the users edits and while they did not seem to be an SPA making COI edits they did not seem to have made a lot of edits overall - and in past discussions of this type it was established via consensus at them that a new user who creates a user page of this type first, or before they make mainspace edits, has their user page deleted. I disagree with that, thusly why I said weak keep. If this is really another userfied version of the Hank Green article that would be a different thing altogether - so i will look more into it.

 * Follow up: In doing research I have changed from a "weak keep" to a "delete" however I wonder if User:JoinTheMadVender/Sandbox should also go as well as User:Madithekilljoy/Sandbox. The same argument(s) would apply as pointed out by Uncle G above. There is not a need for three versions of a mainspace article and, likewise, this also seems to tie into the DFTBA Records deletion and usefied version of it that is also currently at MfD (see User:MaraudingChimpanzee).

 * One does wonder why you have suddenly decided to contribute to MFD discussions. Is it in direct response to my nominations? Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:MaraudingChimpanzee. I was not calling for the deletion of the main namespace article. It exists, as stated in the nomination. There is no need for abandoned drafts. And yes those others should go as well. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all per WP:FAKEARTICLE, which states "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion." I agree with and  that User:JoinTheMadVender/Sandbox and User:Madithekilljoy/Sandbox should be deleted as well per WP:FAKEARTICLE and WP:NOTWEBHOST. Cunard (talk) 07:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
