Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

User:Kyle E. Coyote
This user page is like a MySpace profile. Tried to discuss on talk page, but the user keeps blanking the page. The vast majority of this user's contribs are to this page, almost an single purpose account that exists for no reason other than this "profile" page. Beeblbrox (talk) 19:06, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace or social networking site. Ironholds 19:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Blank inappropriate content, warn user, and consider blocking. This user knows he is abusing our rules.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, the page contains several personal attacks on celebrities and groups of people. This kind of material in userspace may be deleted on sight. This is explicit at BLP. Blanking a page doesn't remove, should I say like in the policy, "delete" the content (it can be reverted, copied, etc) and we're not restricted like in mainspace. Concerning the user, he has been warned repeatedly, let's see how things evolve and hope that he'll contribute constructively. Cena rium  (talk)  22:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep myspace-ish material already removed, question moot. Chimeric Glider (talk) 23:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What makes you say it won't be reinstated ? And we're not just talking about myspace-ish material but also personal attacks. Cena rium  (talk)  23:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * And now, an anonymous IP who has | edited this page, and seems to share many of the same interests as Kyle has | vandalized my user page. I'm sure it's just a coincidence | right? Beeblbrox (talk) 04:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There is no such thing as coincidence, only inevitability. I think his editing of KEC's userpage is also a hint it's him. Ironho</b><b style="color:#696969">ld</b><b style="color:#000">s</b> 04:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Just got done reporting this new development here. Anyone who has more diffs to add, please do so. Beeblbrox (talk) 04:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Note that deletion of "inappropriate content" makes it more difficult to identify socks. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Then the page is just deleted and recreated with a SSP notice, or placed on the talk page, the present sockpuppetry is obvious anyway. Cena rium  (talk)  12:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The user blanked the page, presumably acknowlledging that he was wrong.-- Serviam  (talk)  18:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * He immediately reverted that blank, so i'm assuming that it wasnt acknowledging he was wrong. The current blank is from a different user, JimmyB48, who's been indefinetly banned for among other things page blanking. <b style="color:#D3D3D3">Ir</b><b style="color:#A9A9A9">on</b><b style="color:#808080">ho</b><b style="color:#696969">ld</b><b style="color:#000">s</b> 19:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * My hope in doing all this was that he would get that this is an encyclopedia, not Facebook, and that constructive editing is welcome, but his reaction to all this,i.e. resorting to childish sockpuppet vandalism, lying, and failing to speak up in these two ongoing conversations relating to his actions, seems to indicate a lack of interest in actually working on an encyclopedia. Beeblbrox (talk) 17:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * To be fair he may not know he's puppeteering; he could simply have forgotten to log in. The vandalism, though, is unacceptable. <b style="color:#D3D3D3">Ir</b><b style="color:#A9A9A9">on</b><b style="color:#808080">ho</b><b style="color:#696969">ld</b><b style="color:#000">s</b> 18:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I sent him a message letting him know about the sockpuppet thing so he could have a chance to explain himself, and | here is his, calm, reasoned, mature response. Beeblbrox (talk) 17:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, and he blanked his IP account's talk page while logged in under his username, so I think he did know what he was doing. He tried to play dumb on me when I first became aware of him, claiming he accidently put his user page in mainspace by forgetting to use the "user" prefix, but you can see from his edit history that he deliberately moved it.

 * Delete This is a clear violation of WP:NOT which states Wikipedia is not myspace. Since this is a clear violation, it merits a deletion.--SJP (talk) 23:12, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
