 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it.

The result of the discussion was keep - worth remembering that userspace isn't indexed, so it doesn't qualify much as "self promotion" as far as search engines are concerned. --Xavexgoem (talk) 20:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

User:JRC3
Self-promotion beyond what is normally acceptable on a user page. Article-like appearance may confuse readers. User appears to be making mostly good faith edits and is not a single purpose account. Gigs (talk) 04:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If the user s acting in good faith, try having a conversation? // roux   05:15, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I said he has made other good faith edits. His refusal to use tildes for his signature, even going as far as removing sinebot's version and replacing it with his plaintext one, suggests that he is aware that his user page violates policy. Gigs (talk) 05:24, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Again: try having a conversation. I find it difficult to fathom your objection to doing so. // roux   05:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I will try. Gigs (talk) 11:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks overly promotional. Refer to Alternative outlets.  Delete only as a last resort, if the user won't engage in discussion.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems just within the bounds IMHO. And for some reason, I take being a "tilde refusnik" as not quite heinous. Collect (talk) 21:49, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * At the very least, there needs to be a userpage disclaimer template. User space isn't some way to do an end run around WP:N with a vanity article. Gigs (talk) 12:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In which case, you need to amend the policy which allows such material. Notability only applies to mainspace. If you wish it to apply to userspace, everyones' c.v.s would have to go. Collect (talk) 10:22, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not applying notability to userspace. There is no need to amend policy, since the policy already specifically prohibits using userspace to host articles: "pages kept in userspace should not be designed to functionally substitute for articles or Wikipedia space pages". Additionally, "you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service".  Gigs (talk) 18:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Constructive users are generally allowed wide latitude for their user space. If he wants to write about a band he's in, is that so horrible? If the nominator wants to encourage him to modify it to clarify the difference between that an the article, good. If he refuses, then, maybe, bring it up here. Don't start with a deletion note. --GRuban (talk) 12:59, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
