 * Keep it's marked as a draft article, albiet an old one. Next time, please ask rather than shoving a bunch of user pages to MFD.--Paul McDonald (talk) 10:21, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Userfied following Articles for deletion/L. William Caine.  This is not propotional.  A living person is not involved.  This is an appropriate, even encouraged use of userspace for which there are no time limits.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:50, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Stale and previously deleted. No time limits does not mean indefinite. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
 * Actually, "no time limits" does mean "indefinite" ... AND the result of the AFD in question was Userfy not delete.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:39, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Let's not pretend that AfD was going to do something besides delete had the userfy request not occurred. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
 * What makes you think anyone is pretending that? And what difference would that make?  And what does that have to do with "no time limits" and "indefinite" ?  What's your real motive here?--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:29, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep for now - it's only a stale draft since October 2010, and the user is still active. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:04, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. When a page is userfied at AFD, and the user in question is still active, there's no problem with keeping the page.  Nyttend (talk) 18:40, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * While STALEDRAFT discourages the indefinite preservation of deleted articles in userspace (and the user appears to have quite a few such articles, none of have received non-trivial edits in eighteen months), I don't have a hard time believing that this is simply a back-burner project for a very active user. I'd hope that Paul would nominate them for deletion himself if he found it impossible to justify their future promotion to mainspace.

 * I could clean it up some, I'll do that now. But this article is one that is open for work and collaboration, please leave it.--Paul McDonald (talk) 10:42, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
