WP:FAKEARTICLE. Two abandoned copies of a deleted page, User:Msrasnw/Richard J H Matthews and User:Rick570/Richard J H Matthews. Deleted from mainspace at Articles for deletion/Richard J H Matthews. Another version deleted at Articles for deletion/Richard Matthews (classicist). No meaningful edits in over 3 years. Wikipedia is not a webhost for a collection bios of a St Peter's College old boys. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:18, 28 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Two AFDs have been rather clear that notability for this subject is insufficient. User space is not meant as a place for holding deleted content. -- Whpq (talk) 17:07, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep the version in Rick570's user space. A large number articles started by this user have been nominated for deletion recently, and he has said "" at User talk:Xxanthippe and "" at User talk:Duffbeerforme. The live article was deleted only two weeks ago, and I think he should be given substantially more time to work on the version in his userspace before considering this abandoned.- gadfium 21:11, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * These two are copies of the version deleted in 2010. User:Rick570/R Matthews is a copy of the newer version deleted recently. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:25, 2 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete after Whpq. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:35, 28 November 2013 (UTC).
 * Comment from the user who had this in their space. I kept a copy of this article in my userspace as I felt it would be useful to keep and do no harm. A biography of a classics scholar who also has written useful stuff on the Maori language and was monk and wrote on TEFL stuff was I thought interesting. I did not realise people would object but feel free to delete if you wish. It does however seem a bit rude to do it this way without asking or discussing first - although clearly within policy. (Msrasnw (talk) 23:16, 28 November 2013 (UTC))
 * PS As suggested here: User_pages I have redirected this page to my user page. (Msrasnw (talk) 23:48, 28 November 2013 (UTC))
 * PPS On rereading the instructions I guess I shouldn't have redirected the page to my userpage as this was already here. I have restored and trimmed it down and left some refs.


 * Redirect: I would now like to suggest the page be made into a redirect to my user page. This is I think an option suggested in User_pages. This would keep the history of contributions intact should we be able to make a new article when and if notability is made evident. (Msrasnw (talk) 11:58, 29 November 2013 (UTC))
 * Comment There appear to be 4 of them-- User:Rick570/B Matt, User:Rick570/Richard J H Matthews, User:Rick570/Richard Matthews, User:Rick570/R Matthews. Whats your pleasure? Dloh cierekim  08:09, 2 December 2013 (UTC)`
 * 4 in Rick570's userspace and 1 in Msrasnw's. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:21, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Reply: I think all could easily be redirects but one only would be needed if it could be kept track of. I would be happy to redirect mine now - and previoulsy did that - but thought or realised it was circumventing this so reverted to a shortened version for the duration of this debate. Should I just do this redirect now and we could end this? I am not sure now about how best to ensure attribution of the past contributions for when the article is redone when more evidence of notability comes up but I think the one on my userspace has a long history. But this one could be moved and then redirected if a more appropriate home was found for it (Msrasnw (talk) 10:08, 2 December 2013 (UTC))
 * There is a delete-merge process. I've never done it. Dloh  cierekim  10:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
