User:JediInventor
WP:NOTWEBHOST. This user page is being used to record non-Wikipedia activities, promote a business or organization unrelated to Wikipedia, and contains extensive self-promotional material that is unrelated to the user's activities as a Wikipedian. Does not meet WP:USERPAGE. All the user's edits since April 2006 appear to have been in support of maintaining this user page. User:Jedi Inventor, User:Aldaron, and User:AmbientArchitecture redirect to this page. The Jedi Inventor link from User:JediInventor's user page leads to http://www.aldaron.com/ambient/. -- Suntag  ☼  17:55, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

 * ' Delete' . An extreme of documentation of non-wikipedia-related activities.  Refer user to Alternative outlets.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:59, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Not an acceptable use of userspace.  Master&amp;  Expert ( Talk ) 22:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sorry, I wasn't aware that user pages had content requirements. Can you describe to me what is acceptable? As long as the information is about the user, isn't it fine? There's certainly no specific business being promoted here, and everything on the page constitutes "information about their areas of expertise and interest". I have done little so far to connect that to contributions to Wikipedia, but that would seem to me to be an independent matter (are users now booted for not contributing enough?) JediInventor (talk) 22:51, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The information you have is not so much “information about the user”, but is “the users information not relating to wikipedia”.
 * As a barely contributing wikipedian, you will certainly not be booted, but we take a dim view of you appearing to be using your userpage as a free web host for non-wikipedia purposes. We will therefore remove this information.  Preferably, you will remove it yourself.  If you do intend to use it for wikipedia, then you can make a case, but it is very unlikely that your patent applications will be welcomed from you (see WP:COI).  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * So I assume that, in the future, if I contribute on matters patent-related, this information will be considered relevant, though it sounds like what you're saying is that patent-knowledgeable contributors are discouraged from participation, which I'm sure is not what you intended. JediInventor (talk) 02:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No. Patent-knowledgeable contributors are to be encouraged to contribute.  But it is dubious, though not absolutely forbidden, to add information about your own personal or company patents, as we fear that the purpose may be promotional.  WP:COI puts it very well.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * All the offending material has been deleted as requested, so I think you can close this case. JediInventor (talk) 02:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That looks more than reasonable. I suggest as a rule of thumb, that your contributions away from userspace should always exceed the size of your userspace.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
