WP:NOTWEBHOST Wikipedia is not a place to maintain personal forums. Wikipedia is not a PHPBB website. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 11:38, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment added User:Raidriar/Forum/Rules and Announcements . -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 04:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks a bit odd. It is not clear that it is really intended to be a personal forum unrelated to Wikipedia, which would not be OK.  The user is an active contributing Wikipedian, so I am tending to think this is within leeway on evidence at hand, assuming good faith.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:48, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep for now; discuss with editor. This editor is comparatively new (I don't think his userpage claim of having edited for 13.7 billion years can be credited), and full of energy, and spending too much time in userspace, but has made some mainspace contributions. We don't really have a good sense of what this and the related pages are intended for, although I agree it may well turn out that it doesn't belong on this wiki. I think a friendly inquiry about what he or she is up to would be a better approach here than a deletion nomination. Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:54, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * has deleted previous attempts to communicate with him on the issue of his forums from his talk page, from myself, and another user -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:20, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Thank you for that clarification, which addresses my concern. Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:48, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * User:Raidriar has threatened to "ban" me as a constant annoyance, right on his userpage, so proof positive that he is not communicative. As I only posted two messages to his user talk page, how that can be construed as "constant", I have no idea. Or why the recommended deletion notification should be considered an annoyance not to ever be posted to his userpage. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 23:50, 27 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm not one for voting to delete things like this, so I won't do that. However, there have been no signs that the user is here to contribute positively - none of the mainspace edits amount to much more than turning old redirects into copy/pasted articles or playing around. Perhaps Brad is right and none of us have approached him constructively, but I'm afraid this isn't one where my own experience suggests a good way to do that, with a reasonable prospect of return. Sorry if that seems bad faithed of me. Begoon &thinsp; talk  04:17, 26 May 2013 (UTC)


 * NOTE has deleted the MFD tags from the two pages with these two edits:  and  -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:04, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete The page has no demonstrated value, and the user in question has acted in bad faith in regards to this discussion. Without any sort of positive defense offered by the user, deletion seems like the proper outcome. --BDD (talk) 16:45, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
