Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Sceptre/Mexican girl


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was Keep. As the block is not indefinite, and this subpage is a sandbox for content unrelated to the ban. Even were it, I agree with tznkai that because the editor is not here to defend himself - and that this subpage is rather insubstantial - I think it's best to keep. As the sandbox appears to be made in good-faith, it may be best to keep it around if the blocked editor comes back and feels he was unjustly persecuted while blocked without a chance to participate in the discussion.

 * Delete but this shows why we need PROD for userspace.  MBisanz  talk 22:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Since the editor is banned, it should be deleted on sight. It's hurting my eyes.  Majorly  talk  22:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If your eyes hurt, you may wish to see an optometrist. Giggy (talk) 02:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Advice noted.  Majorly  talk  02:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Please note that Sceptre is not banned; he was blocked for three months. For the sake of this discussion, it is important to keep this in mind. Comments in this discussion should refelct content, and content alone. — Edokter  •  Talk  • 22:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * He's not allowed to edit, so he is banned...  Majorly  talk  22:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * My bad. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I assume Spectre will be back, and the article has been worked on since it was copied there (in feb 2008). Looks like a harmless sandbox draft, with the intention to improve the article. To me, the wording of the nom also suggests that a block was evaded to copy the article. As far as I can tell that's not the case. I fail to see the problem, sorry.

 * Delete per Majorly. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 00:10, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per SIS. Giggy (talk) 02:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Its user space, and the editor isn't here to defend himself.--Tznkai (talk) 03:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep block =/= ban. Also, it is a pretty inoffensive userspace draft of an article. Protonk (talk) 05:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per Subpages disallowed uses, using a subpage for permanent content that is meant to be part of the encyclopedia is disallowed. User subpage has not been edited since February 2008. The block began on 9 September 2008. The subpage became permanent content before 9 September 2008. There is no reason to stop implemeting policy/guideline merely because the encyclopedia is being protected against edits by Sceptre. -- Suntag  ☼  06:15, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This userspace draft should be kept since it was obviously not intended to be permanent content or preserve a version of the article that Sceptre liked. It's a forgotten about rewrite. Before deciding to nominate a page like this for deletion, a courtesy note would be much more effective. You can remind them that they have a sandboxed article, and from there, the user can decide to either work on it or ask for it to be speedied. All in all, I think mfd's for pages like these is pointless at best and insulting at worst. Seraphim&hearts;  Whipp  09:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
