User:Howard Drake
Also User:Howard Drake/Songs. Both of these pages are insanely long lists of random artists, creating false positives when checking WhatLinksHere and nearly crashing any browser that should happen to find its way here. Attempts to contract the user back in November '08 got nothing; even though he's still editing, his user talk page hasn't even been touched the whole time. These lists don't even seem to serve any purpose except to crash browsers and create false positives. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 20:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - This type of thing puts a heavy strain on Wikimedia servers, its one thing if the content is meaningful but this is definitely not the case in this situation. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 22:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Appropriate use in userspace. Active editor.  Does not crash IE, which is the single most-crashable browser .  We do not have access to data on server-load, but assuming WP does the logical thing (cache the page with links) it should have essentially zero effect.  And I am unsure that "server load" is a valid reason for deletion in the first place.  And I do not recall DEADLINE having a stronger meaning in userspace than in mainspace.

 * Keep It doesn't crash any web browser I try it with. It loads just as quickly as any other page. Also, the user is still actively editing. Hi878 (talk) 21:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * …but blatantly refusing to tell us what the (*@#$ they're doing. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 16:07, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, its fine. –xeno talk 19:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - harmless, did not crash or slow down my browser, although HD did not explain why it is like it is. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to subpage, at least. Not a good userpage.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:14, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
