The result of the discussion was  keep. If anything based on this version is eventually moved into the mainspace, there will be complex problems of attribution to determine how much is based on Maureen Fleming from which it was forked on 6 March, though the first version of this does not correspond exactly  to anything in the history of that. I will make a note of the problem on the talk page. JohnCD (talk) 20:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Improper userfication. Blatant puffery. Seems to be an attempt to circumvent WP:COI. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 19:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * weak keep. Is not obviously for promotion.  Would be excessive for a non-contributor's bio, but might be OK because she has an existing article at Maureen Fleming.  It think it is reasonable for a living person to add detail in userspace in support of their mainspace BIO.  Certainly would be OK if the user's contributions elsewhere exceeded the detail in her userspace.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Though she might be told of COI rules for her mainspace edits.    Looking over them does not show anything to be concerned about AFAICT. Collect (talk) 14:29, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * keep needs lots of work to be a viable article, but I rather suspect that the subject is in fact notable. I have added userspace draft. Autobios, while discouraged, are not forbidden nor subject to deletion for that reason alone even in article space. DES (talk) 21:27, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * For notable wikipedians, I think maybe it would be a very good thing to encourage autobiographical material in userspace where other editors can transfer content to the mainspace bio. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep for all the reasons above. Tisane (talk) 03:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
