I've attempted to discuss this user's behavior with him, but he is non-responsive. Userpage is being used as a personal web page to repeatedly create and wipe out imaginary hurricane seasons, which is not an appropriate use of userspace. (ESkog)(Talk) 17:53, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Users are allowed some latitude in User pages, but this goes too far. More than 250 edits to his userpage, all of the user's edits are to either his user page or his talk page, with the exception of 7 deleted edits creating pages for future hurricanes. -- Flyguy649 talk 18:08, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Refer to Alternative outlets. This material could be misleading and so cannot stay.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:45, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * What's the problem? He's using the thing as a sandbox. I see nothing wrong with such doodling. &mdash;  Rickyrab | Talk 22:28, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * At least you're giving him an opportunity to comment, which is the right thing to do in such cases. &mdash;  Rickyrab | Talk 22:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * When doodling becomes realistic, it is past the point of play and time to get on with real things. The material looks real, and could be mistaken for real.  We do not want anyone to mistake fake content, even in userspace, for real content.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:05, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's my main motivation for eventually bringing the page here for discussion. Sandboxing to create potential articles - even about things which are unlikely to ever meet our bar of notability - is acceptable, but sandboxing to create fictional worlds doesn't really work. Especially since real images of historical hurricanes are/were being used in these fictional seasons (that's actually how the page caught my attention). (ESkog)(Talk) 23:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Strongly conflicts with WP:USERPAGE; perfect for MYSPACE but not an encyclopedia. Johnuniq (talk) 10:49, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Move off Wikipedia to another wiki, to avoid conflict and to keep Wikipedia an accurate information resource. I recommend the user create his own wiki, as I did. &mdash; Rickyrab | Talk 20:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
