User:Kavipotter
A verbatim copy of Voice over Internet Protocol from February 2008 that was never used for article development. Alexius08 (talk) 07:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep There is no requirement that userspace only be used for WP articles in the first place. You might ask that it be moved to a Sandbox of some sort, but "never used for article development" is not grounds for deletion in userspace. Collect (talk) 11:41, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - harmless, entirely appropriate use of userspace. – xeno  ( talk ) 16:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per all of the above. Just taking up disk space isn't a reason for deletion. — BQZip01 —  talk 20:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It is settled that one's using his/her user page this way is fine (see, e.g., Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:ChanceYoungJr.Robert and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Reachmean), but it is preferred, for GFDL compliance, that the history link to the article from which the content is taken; the user should, then, be gently counseled to make a dummy edit to the page with a summary that reports that the page includes text from Voice over Internet Protocol.

 * If indeed, this is an exact copy of Voice over Internet Protocol, would this not violate WP:NOTLINK ? If that were the case, I'd have to say Blank or Delete. 207.237.33.36 (talk) 23:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You mean in that it's a mirror? I think that guideline speaks to mirrors of other sites. Besides, it's no longer a mirror, it's an old historical version. – xeno  ( talk ) 00:03, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The nom says that it is indeed an old copy of VOIP but was never used. So it's just the user's notes?  Odd.  Yes, I know the mirror is for other sites, but it could be looked at as an internal mirror of sorts. 207.237.33.36 (talk) 00:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
