User:Sehbueno
Nominating the following pages: Large walled garden of subpages about a non-notable band. The article makes some claims of notability, such as "became the fastest-selling self-released alternative rock album in history of Brazil," but a Google search disproves these. The user had also previously placed a protection template on his page, despite the fact that the page was not protected. About 90% of this user's contribs have gone towards creating these articles. Wikipedia is not a webhost for personal pages. Glass  Cobra  00:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Textbook case of not a webhost. Dr.K. praxislogos 00:57, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Hold off While WP is not a webhost, it is also true that userspace does not require notability. Thus "non-notable" is insufficient in itself for deletion.  I note no apparent request to the editor to reduce the assemblage.  Collect (talk) 01:06, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * OK and... Sorry? ... Everything found in this USER page and its sub-pages is about a fictional band/artist created only for imagination. There are no references, and nobody here is trying to being boring. Sehbueno (talk) 06:31, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Userspace is supposed to be used for purposes related to the encyclopedia, not just entertainment. Fake articles even in userspace can be damaging to the reputation of wikipedia.  Gigs (talk) 13:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Not to mention that you are building this elaborate set of pages instead of contributing to our actual encyclopedia. As I stated in the nomination, Wikipedia is not a webhost. Glass  Cobra  14:11, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax/roleplay/game. Gigs (talk) 13:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - about a fictional band/artist created only for imagination!? we are not your webhost, Sehbueno, and you have no right to abuse our resources this way. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:47, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: To me this looks like someone is trying to build his own alternative wiki within wikipedia.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 17:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete per Orangemike, clearly inappropriate and WP:IAR if necessary. – ukexpat (talk) 18:59, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * IAR deletion during the course of an XfD is not a good idea. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Snowball delete then. Articles about fictional band in userspace. Let's not draw this out any longer. BlazerKnight (talk) 11:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There's no rush. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:01, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Refer user to Alternative outlets, and give him a few days to move the material off-site. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:01, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all as nonsense articles about fictional bands in userspace. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 16:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all-- mash together WP:GARAGE, WP:HAMMER, WP... well. Okay, it's not a garage band, nor it is a myspace band, but the end result is no different. This is just a planned mass blanketing of new articles to eventually be added at once, perhaps in an attempt to get some of them by patrols. Precedent is also pretty clear about not allowing "Band"/promotional pages in userspace, and we had an even more recent precedent where blanked band pages in userspace were deleted if previous page versions would have qualified for the standard deletion process. I completely forgot which guideline/essay says something like "some people like to hide their band in their userspace while they 'look for sources' but..." so I suppose I'll not be able to give a link to that. ...Wait, I just realized I used WP:HAMMER on the comment directly after its sage. Nice. Well it had to happen eventually. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 10:50, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
