 * 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 discussion was Delete as a promotional WP:FAKEARTICLE. Since the user is actively editing again on the newly-created SQuire Rushnell article, I want to note there should be no prejudice against him re-creating the page as a normal user page that is not written like an encyclopedia article.

User:Sqrush


Promotional userpage for Squire Rushnell. MSJapan (talk) 04:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

 * it was viewed 4 times in february
 * it was viewed 11 times in march
 * it was viewed 10 times in april
 * User:Sqrush is seems to be using their main user page the way most people use subpages under their main page. If this was their notes, on a subpage under their main page, with a __NOINDEX__ directive, would there be a problem>  I suggest this would comply with WP:Userpage.  I suggest all that is necessary is the application of a __NOINDEX__ directive.  Geo Swan (talk) 06:11, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you suggesting that this isn't an inappropriate use simply because it isn't very effective? A novel argument indeed, but not a very strong one. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:48, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not a mind-reader, but I think User:SQRush simply left notes on their user page to help them prepare to try to contribute to the wikipedia's coverage of Squire Rushland -- whoever he is. Nineteen page views in November?  Well November is when that material was drafted.  Nineteen page views are likely all by SQRush.  All these page views could be either views by SQRush, or by other wikipedian coming across the page through ordinary means.  I see no reason to assume any of the limited number of page views were due to User:SQRush inviting outsiders to view work he left here in violation of WP:WEBHOST.

 * I explained to the contributor why I added a __NOINDEX__ directive. Geo Swan (talk) 06:28, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - No, SQRush created a username, uploaded a fully-created faux article on their userpage as their first edit, and left without ever editing the encyclopedia. See WP:UP and WP:FAKEARTICLE. Noindex has absolutely nothing to do with it, nor does it address the problem, nor does the promotional guideline have anything to do with number of pageviews. MSJapan (talk) 12:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTWEBHOST - this appears to be merely promotional too. Peacock (talk) 14:13, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * FWIW I created what I think is a neutrally written stub at Squire Rushnell. After looking into him I would say that the coverage of his television career would have established his notability, prior to his retirement, and his success as an author.  I merely called him an "inspirational" author, not a christian themed author, as that is not my area of expertise.  Nor did I try to explain the term godwink he is credited with coining.  I will leave that too to those more experienced with christianity.  Geo Swan (talk) 16:51, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Page created and last edited 20 November 2011‎. Delete per WP:NOTWEBHOST, WP:STALEDRAFT, and WP:NOTPROMOTION. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 07:17, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - a promotional nature is not determined by its success, but its intent. Achowat (talk) 14:28, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
