User:Strivingsoul


User page is used solely as a soapbox to promote and advocate for a religious POV and links to a commercial religious film used to proselytize. This is a fundamental violation of the core tenets of our user page guidelines against promotional and advocacy material and links. Viriditas (talk) 03:20, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I remember I had asked an experienced muslim Wikipedian, about whether or not my user page violates WP:UPNOT. And he told me that it doesn't! Apparently Wikipedia allows some description of our personal beliefs on our page. And as for the movie, I have no connection or commercial ties with it. The movie was just recently released in Iran and Canada and it has received many positive reviews. And I thought it can help to counter the wave of Islamophobia in the West. And this has actually been one of the motives of the movie's producers. And that's also why I thought it is useful to share it on my page. However if it qualifies for "blatant" promotion I have no protest. But I really don't have any commercial relation with that!


 * Keep I think what we have here is a rather dogmatic and zealous reading of the user page guideline. I don't think this would pass as promotion by most reasonable persons. This is just a run of the mill description of a person's faith. No big deal. Lets all move on.--Adam in MO Talk 03:42, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps it would help the effected party to add a few images or a couple of user boxes or something of that nature to help alleviate the concern raised. As a practical matter, I could see why this would be considered, but I don't see any real soap boxing here as described in the nom. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:46, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. User pages are often used for personal expressions of beliefs, religious, political, hobbies, etc.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 04:12, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Standard Shia stuff. User:Fred Bauder Talk 06:25, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Is this a proxy battle related to Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Strivingsould is an idiot who will soon be banned, but this userpage is well within the bounds of what we allow for user pages. EEng (talk) 03:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * If anyone, it is you that should be banned for embarking on insult and personal attack! Strivingsoul (talk) 02:39, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Someone who blathers about "atheist Jewish pornographers [who have vowed to subvert Christian culture in American by promoting moral degeneracy"] might do well to avoid the topics of insults and personal attacks. EEng (talk) 20:35, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Proposal I think it is time we snow close this and trout the nom. This user is headed for a site ban anyway. So the whole issue is moot.--Adam in MO Talk 02:12, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. At least it lets us know how his mind works and what his stance is. I don't think it egregiously violates anything. We see belief systems expounded all the time on userpages. Softlavender (talk) 14:39, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not a big issue; this seems a bit much. The ANI is the important matter right now. GABHello! 01:15, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
