The result of the debate was Keep - Userpage is borderline but all of the linked articles have been deleted due to Advertising/WP:COI, so the page is pretty harmless. The user has asked for assistance and it is being provided. If the user fails to heed the advice the page the page can be renominated or, if appropriate as the page stands at such time, speedied under WP:CSD. Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:42, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Johnmaszka
Delete Excessive personal information per WP:UP. User is a single purpose account creating several articles to advance personal promotion and it seems that this userpage is being used to further that same end. Ave Caesar (talk) 14:08, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Note - User left a hangon tag on the page. I've removed it, but I think that conveys their feelings on the matter (I have no opinion for one, just pointing this fact out). --UsaSatsui (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep This user just became active today. You do not go and jump on an MfD of their userpage like this. At least take the time to talk to them on their talk page first. If there is disruption related to this account then bring it up at WP:ANI. -- Ned Scott 07:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ANI would be used if the disruption was beyond that of what could be taken care of by regular users. Admins aren't some sort of final authority above community consensus.  Such matters as notability and the deciphering of whether or not user space is being used for personal promotion rather than serious editing is better resolved by the community as a whole.  Hence the use of MfD. Further, the user came onto the project two days ago (not today) and began creating pages to advertise his work that were speedily deleted. --Ave Caesar (talk) 14:17, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * He's asking for help on his talk page, and he's clearly acting with good intentions. If there is anything wrong with his userpage (which I don't think there is) then he can always edit it. If he refuses, or reverts someone else doing it, then bring it to MfD. -- Ned Scott 06:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. For right now, this isn't the right way to go.  --UsaSatsui (talk) 06:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, how about moving it to User:Johnmaszka/sandbox? --Enric Naval (talk) 19:20, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A Google search shows that Mr. Maszka has been spamming his books on just about every blog, comment section, and forum that he can find. In his "request for help" he (1) pretends, very badly, that he's not Mr. Maszka (2) continues to claim that he's an "international studies scholar." I find him disingenuous and believe his intentions here are to spam his way to the top of Google searches. The reason for nominating the user page is that it has links to pages advertising his books and therefore appears to also be spam. WillOakland (talk) 19:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
