User:Sloarch/Sandbox
User page on a band that has not released any albums, only one demo recording; created by a single-purpose account whose only contribution to wikipedia, as far as I can see, is to this user page. It has not been edited since July 2008. -- Bardin (talk) 19:15, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * weak Keep - as mostly harmless. –xeno talk 19:20, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So it's okay for non-notable bands to circumvent wikipedia's policies on notability by creating articles about themselves outside the mainspace ... because it's mostly harmless? When did the title of a Douglas Adams book became a wikipedia policy or guideline? --Bardin (talk) 19:24, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a sandbox, incomplete at that. –xeno talk 19:29, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A sandbox for a band that has not released a single album, only a demo recording. --Bardin (talk) 19:42, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. –xeno talk 19:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Abandoned sandbox by SPA. Harmless, yes, but I still see no reason to keep it. If the creator weren't an SPA I might say keep. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 19:34, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer to assume these are the good faith attempts of a newbie who hasn't yet returned rather than an "SPA", tagged with noindex. –xeno talk 19:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It is an account that has not made a single edit on wikipedia mainspace, only two to the userpage. If that is not a single purpose account, then I don't think anything else is. --Bardin (talk) 19:42, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * SPA has negative connotations, for all we know it was just a well-meaning fan who may later return to their acount. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b> <sup style="color:black; font-family:verdana;">talk 19:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that might be a stretch if their only edits ever are to userspace. There's assuming good faith, and then there's blindly assuming good faith. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 20:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * They have deleted 2 deleted edits to the mainspace, the insertion of a form of this sandbox into the mainspace. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b> <sup style="color:black; font-family:verdana;">talk 21:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
