User:IVFdivas
The user page is used as a discussion/information board by a number of SPAs. Googling the phrase "IVF Divas" indicates that it is a network of people who are going through IVF treatment. While it is understandable that they want some place to keep each other up to date with what is going on, it's very much against WP:NOT and User page to use a user page for that purpose. In addition, the user name indicates a role account; I placed a note on the user talk page but it's uncertain if or when that user will log in and see it. -- bonadea contributions talk 17:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, but give them time to copy the information to take elsewhere (the standard 7 day window should be more than enough). –xenotalk 17:30, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for violation of "Wikipedia is not a free web host." But I second xeno's suggestion to give them time to move the discussion. No WP:SNOW invocation here, please, even if the clear consensus is for delete. Vicenarian  (T · C) 17:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Agree that the MfD should be allowed to run its course in order to leave enough time for them to copy the information. --bonadea contributions talk 17:59, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * comment - they seem to be ignoring us entirely; I'm not sure that our restraint is actually accomplishing a darned thing. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:49, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've taken off the content and left a more strongly worded note: . –xenotalk 13:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * We're dealing with a group of people here - it's possible that the group leader or whoever it is who has the account hasn't seen the note yet, and the members who come in to add to the updates think that it's nothing to do with them. It hasn't been more than 24 hours since the MfD was posted, and I have heard that there are some people who actually don't live on the 'Net :-) Or maybe they are aware of it but don't realise that it's a good idea to acknowledge to us that they have seen it. They can't miss the new note, though, and it was a good idea to leave a link to another site they can use. I have a feeling they might just have used Wikipedia because it's easy to update for people who aren't very web savvy, and that they honestly didn't think there was anything wrong with it as long as it was kept on a user page. --bonadea contributions talk 14:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
