Relisted. Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:45, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

MfDs for this page:  WP:STALEDRAFT states: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion." Because this page violates WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:STALEDRAFT, it should be deleted. 's changes, while in good faith, resulted in the history preservation of a promotional page that violated WP:NOTADVERTISING. No improvements to the page have been made since 16 June 2008. The creator,, who is a single-purpose account, has not edited since 16 June 2008. Cunard (talk) 19:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that concern of advertising removed in the history is an over-concern. Most people see no problem with even small copyright infringements in histories.  I would say "keep" again if I thought this was a draft for anything, stale or otherwise.  It is not, however, a staledraft, but an autobiography of an editor who made a few good edits.  Neutral .  "We don't host autobiographies" versus "We want all past toe-tipping editors to return and feel welcome"  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:33, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That some people do not oppose copyright infringements in histories is no reason to tolerate the indefinite preservation of spam. Per WP:NOTADVERTISING, such content should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 23:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking back to the original version, I am not convinced that it is well described as advertising, and certainly not as spam. I note the absence of external links, "contact me" information, or anything giving me any sense that that he is trying to use wikipedia to promote some external purpose.  It is not spam because I can find no repetitive posting of the same of similar information.  This user made a few welcome contributions, then posted information about himself on his userpage, which is the purpose of a userpage.  All users should be encouraged to post a brief introduction on their userpage.  Pprasadnair's was not excessively long.  But as he then made no further edits, and someone thought that promotion could be seen, I edited the page back to an extremely conservative version.  My think was that when the user returns, and contributes further, he can re-expand his page.  Therefore, as I think there was no advertising, and even if there was it is removed, and as WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:STALEDRAFT do not apply, the page should not be deleted.  If there is any concern, it should be edited with a view to subsequent conversation, as has already been done.   Keep .  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The page is certainly advertising. Résumés are prohibited on Wikipedia. Further, the page was previously deleted at Articles for deletion/PadmaPrasad. The AfD was initiated on 9 June 2008 and closed on 14 June 2008. The userpage was created on 16 June 2008 to circumvent the consensus of the community. Preserving the deleted résumé of a single-purpose account violates WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:STALEDRAFT, which explicitly prohibits indefinitely hosting "deleted content". Cunard (talk) 10:46, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I had missed Articles for deletion/PadmaPrasad. I didn't know that the page used to be in mainspace.  As he wrote the page for mainspace, it means he did not intend it as an introduction for an intending regular contributor.   Delete.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:33, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
