User:SchafferBR
WP:NOTWEBHOST. This user page is being used to lead Wikipedian readers to his non-Wikipedia blog. -- Suntag  ☼  01:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Ya, this is something that needs to go, its the users only edit. I probably would have just blanked it tho.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 02:10, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Florero de decoración.jpg|20px]] Delete - Wikipedia is not a free web host service. macy 02:21, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep its a valid userpage, it lists his name, e-mail, and website, whats wrong with that? It does not say "click this link!!!" or any other spammy stuff. It provides information that might be useful if someone wanted to contact him. True, the user has no contribs outside his userpage but give him time, perhaps he will make a few edits some day, no need to nuke his userpage just because it contains an offsite link. The userpage is doing no harm, no one who comes across it would think it was any worse than many other userpages out there. Icewedge (talk) 04:17, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep As it is, it is smaller than the discussion about it. Collect (talk) 15:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Appears to be pt:Usuário:Schaffer. While the EN user has no other contributions (and this one was 6 months ago), the PT user does have normal encyclopedia-making contributions (albeit rather few). While I can see what Suntag is concerned about, after searching on the person's name and finding a bunch of similar profiles, I don't think there's anything bad happening here. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 19:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I think we should assume good faith, and try to contact the user and come to an agreement.- Marcusmax ( speak ) 00:53, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I just gave the user a message on their talk page on the Portuguese Wikipedia, hopefully they understand what I am saying considering I have very very basic Portugese skills. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 01:02, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - Hi, first of all sorry for causing this issue. I don't know the rules, I just thought there was no problem in adding my blog as a way of contact. If i'm breaking any rule, please tell me and I'll fix it. If the link is a problem I remove it with no more discussion. If the page itself is a problem it can be deleted as well. What should be done? Marcusmax, thank you for warning me in my pt wikipedia profile. SchafferBR (talk) 16:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - It is obvious this user is not using this as a promotional thing, and as they stated above the user is willing to delete the link mentioned. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 02:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral - given the new information about who this user is (ie a reasonable contributor to other language WPs) I have much less issue with the page, but it was the fact that the only edit was creating this userpage with a link to an off-wiki site. Perhaps add links to the other language wikis and make the off-wiki web address non-clickable or remove it all together.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 14:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think that if we make the link with the portugese user clear, there's no real problem. - Mgm|(talk) 10:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
