User:Rampyrobo
Apparent sock account of used to host and edit an article on a college team that has been deleted multiple times. Its equivalent at User:Steverhodes7 was deleted under WP:CSD, but since neither version is particularly spammy, I'm bringing this one here for discussion in the hope of getting a binding consensus from the community. jonny - m t  10:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It would be nice if someone could encourage the user to work towards a mainspace article. Why not leave him a message?  Perhaps blank the page to get his attention.  Is it possible that this is a potential contributor and not just someone attempting to use wikipedia as a webhost?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's already been deleted from the main namespace and from the original user's userpage, each of which was accompanied by a discussion on User talk:Steverhodes7. I'm applying WP:AGF by allowing the user to explain why they feel this article should be kept, but the fact that they resorted to using a second account to host the article after multiple deletions under the first and are now using  to remove the MfD tags rather than participate in the discussion (despite multiple invitations to do so) strongly suggests that the user simply wants the article to stay up wherever they can keep it. -- jonny - em  tee  05:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites that provide wiki hosting (free or for money). You can also install wiki software on your server. See the Wiki Science wikibook for information on doing this. Scratchpad Wiki Labs also allows personal wikis. See also Alternative outlets.
 * Give the user this advice (from WP:NOT):
 * Delete as per nom. Note that any user may request a copy for their own purposes, or if they want to use it for article building.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Doesn't seem to have any potential to become an article. --Tikiwont (talk) 08:50, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't see why everyone is so against this page and why it is such an issue. The team play in the premier university league with a lot of funding, about half of the team are paid to play .ie semi-pro. and i dont believe it is an irrelevant subject.--164.11.204.57 (talk) 13:47, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's a problem to have and keep pseudo articles in userspace where they can exist without meeting normal standards. Either, you should seek to move this to mainspace, or its purpose should be in supoort of building related mainspace stuff.  The fact that a google search on "UWE Mens 1st XI" leads to this userpage is a problem per se.  It is like you are maintaining your own personal wikipedia article on something.  This is not OK.  You are not allowed to own articles.  Userspace is not for articles.  If you want to keep it for help in building another article or articles, you should find out how to ask webcrawlers to not index your workspace.  What do you want to do?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to move it to mainspace but everyone says it is not relevant, which i really dont agree with as it is a very high standard of hockey, the english nations 3rd most popular team sport. Will you give it authentication to be put on a mainspace..or can i use the wikipedia software on another site as I have spent a long time making the page. Thanks --86.112.217.125 (talk) 12:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and for reference, the image teamwest0003.jpg which was deleted was my own image from my own camera, so how could I put it up so i dont have licencing issues?--86.112.217.125 (talk) 18:17, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
