Ugh. Keep per everything that I said on all of the other MFD's-- Coldplay   Expert  01:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. This seems to have been turned into something of a commentary on the effort to delete hidden pages, rather than just a hidden page game per se. That being the case, I don't know that the usual arguments against the games pages fully apply to this particular page. --RL0919 (talk) 03:54, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page is not a game, but a comment on wikipedia, and is entirely appropriate expression of a wikipedian in his userspace.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:38, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTMYSPACE and WP:UP. Secret pages do not contribute to building the encyclopedia. Cunard (talk) 05:45, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as a page that wastes editors' time and doesn't contribute to the encyclopedia.  Triplestop  x3  21:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per SmokeyJoe --UltraMagnus (talk) 07:28, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No actual contributions to the encyclopedia from this user--just gameplay and guestbook signing.   DGG ( talk ) 18:23, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * As a recreation, highlighting the comment of the improper deletion, it serves as a valid comment about wikipedia. Even though the user (User:Happysunshine) didn't actually make the comment, in leaving it there she (a little girl) is making an implicit comment.  The statement is not particularly deep, but we should not be in the business of deleting wikipedians opinions because we consider them shallow.  Also note that it is not a "secret page", but is linked prominently from her userpage.  It forms part of her self-expression and provides an method to encourage new interactions.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:09, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, you really are taking the piss. Or to put it another way: "Hi, I'm from MetaFilter Wikipedia and I could overthink a plate of beans!" There's no 'implicit comment' being made. It's a stupid page created by a sockpuppet in the userspace of someone who thinks this is MySpace with a white background. Any other deep meaning you glean from it is the production of projection and fantasy. → ROUX   ₪  15:54, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There are a handful of contributions to mainspace and project space. It is true that this user's serious contributions are few compared to her play activities.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:52, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really matter what the proportions are of games:contribution. We aren't going to make exceptions with higher contributers. As a matter of fact, the more serious ones should know better.  Zoo Fari  00:06, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Au contraire. We watch new contributors to make sure they get the ropes, and educate wayward contributes, but when you have productive wikipedians, we let them do what works for them.  If they are producing good content, or otherwise contributing to the project, and not hurting anyone else, or consuming resources, then don’t interrupt them.  If their workspace, experiments, or incidental activities upsets you, then the problem is with you, not them.
 * Productive wikipedians should be left to look after their own userspace. It doesn’t make for an harmonious community to have some users attempting to police productive wikipedians into sticking with your defined norms of behaviour. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:17, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not appropriate for Wikipedia. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
