The result was   Keep, withdrawn by nominator CRGreathouse (t | c) 07:39, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

This page serves to encourage and grant recognition to vandals, and I think that it goes against the spirit of WP:DENY and other such reasonable guidelines. --Nutiketaiel (talk) 13:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Snowball Keep - First of all, it's in my userspace, and second of all, I'm not the only one who has a vandalism space. The Thing That Should Not Be also has a vandalism space. I created this page to give vandals a place to vandalize without messing up my userpage.  Nerdy Science Dude :)  (✉ click to talk • my edits • sign) 13:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep. Mostly Harmless, NSD is far from the only user to have such a subpage. The argument that it serves only to encourage vandals is not supported by any diffs or other factual evidence. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:46, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems harmless. I think I have one of these around somewhere as well, it was used to help adoptees learn to use rollback, undo, and such. While I generally agree with WP:DENY, I do note that it is merely an essay, not a guideline as the nominator intimates. –xenotalk 14:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply - A sandbox to teach new users is one thing, but a page of this nature appears to actively recognize and endorse vandalism. Nutiketaiel (talk) 14:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. WP:DENY is not applicable here.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Question - Can I withdraw my nomination? Nutiketaiel (talk) 23:36, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly you may. You may do whatever you think reasonable.  Don't worry about "rules".  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:29, 6 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Nothing harmful, that's for sure.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 02:25, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - is not detrimental to the well-being of Wikipedia. On the contrary, it is a tool used by NSD to try to hamper vandalism on his userpage. Airplaneman  talk 04:57, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
