User:Rev. Michael S. Margolin
Inappropriate use of user page - overly promotional (successfully, this shows up at the top of Google when you search on his name. Basically an extensive autobiography, an article in userspace Dougweller (talk) 18:15, 10 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - Doesn't strike me as a huge issue. FWIW, User:Dougweller is also the first Google hit for Dougweller. This is more a function of Wikipedia's intrinsic Google juice than any kind of intentional attempt to rise to the top of the ghits. Perhaps the editor would kindly add userpage to the top of the page. – xeno talk  18:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * When I searched my website was the first hit, but I thought I'd noindexed my userpage, obviously not, but I've done that now. I keep saying that should be the default, why isn't it? Dougweller (talk) 18:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Because consensus has not been found to noindex userspace. See WP:NOINDEX for links to past discussions. Please note that I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with your userpage showing at the top of Google for Dougweller. Just pointing it out... – xeno talk 18:49, 10 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. I am not convinced of the promotional angle of the page. It's a useful page in establishing the user's knowledge and experience in a subject area he edits frequently. It seems a reasonable and appropriate use of a user page to me. —C.Fred (talk) 18:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
