User:Superdude2
A user page used for activities totally unrelated to Wikipedia. Violates WP:NOT by using Wikipedia as a webhost. Kotiwalo (talk) 15:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per WP:Editors matter. Discussing with user prior to MFD may have been worthwhile. –xenotalk 15:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that a discussion with the editor would've been potentially helpful but there are dozens of these Big Brother fantasy games here in Wikipedia. They are basically using Wikipedia as a webhost. This editor has made some edits outside the user space as well, but most of them are here, concerning these games. I'm concerned about the snowball effect - that new contributors see these and think that this is appropriate while actually it's not. We should use common sense with that essay, and remember that our policies forbid using pages for webhosting. Kotiwalo (talk) 15:49, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. –xenotalk 15:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But I think I'll drop the user another message because I know these discussions may be a bit daunting. Kotiwalo (talk) 16:01, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - I just can't see there's abuse of WP:USER that warrants deletion. The user is active on other WP articles and the user page is structured as an article that could well be part of the Big Brother (U.S.) set of pages. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 04:41, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The user has recently become more active editor in the article space, yes, but still, the vast majority of edits lie here. This is an encyclopedia, not a webhost. Kotiwalo (talk) 07:03, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong keep I don't see what the problem is with this page. Ikip (talk) 00:04, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - On User:Bobbjob MFD it was brought up that the Big Brother article there was entirely fictional. I confirmed this but don't have the time to do the same for the Superdude2 page. Something that makes me suspicious is "It was hosted by Superdude2." and "superdude2's Lost Series" on the page. If this is fictional then it's not a WP article in development. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 03:16, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I did some looking around, and I am very sure that all of the stuff in this userspace is complete fiction. There are other subpages of fictional Big Brother seasons.  I don't think we should be hosting for vast pages of user created fantasy.   Userspace should serve an at least somewhat encyclopedia-related purpose.  I encourage all the previous participants in this MfD to reweigh their vote in light of these pages being fabrications. Gigs (talk) 04:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm staying with Keep. While the pages are not "presenting information relevant to working on the encyclopedia" per WP:NOTWEBHOST as I would much rather the user voluntarily move the pages to another site or modify them to be relevant to working on the encyclopedia. I see that Superdude2 edits on WP once or twice a month meaning he or she will likely show up in the next few weeks and may well be able to demonstrate that the pages are relevant. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 08:20, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Relevant to what? Gigs (talk) 13:48, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I was aware they were fictional when I voted; fictional material is a good way to experiment with and learn wikicode. –xenotalk 13:50, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - There's nothing here that requires deletion. Rafe34 (talk) 21:34, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This is Fiction I'm this user and this is fiction. This isn't real, I'm not hosting anything, I just like making my own Big Brother Series. So, I don't see why this should be deleted. I know a lot of other people who have done this and I don't see topics for their deletions. Seriously, this is fiction. It shouldn't be taken seriously. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.217.234 (talk) 19:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 24.160.217.234, I will assume that you and Superdude2 are the same. I see that you added this to your user page today which confirms that it is a fictional work. You are asking Wikipedia to host a personal project that at the moment seems to have no relevance to Wikipedia. Please look at WP:NOTWEBHOST item 1 and WP:USER and with those in mind please explain how this work of fiction is compatible with the Wikipedia project. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 08:30, 1 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete using Wikipedia for writing your own fiction is exactly one of the things we're not meant for. I see that you also work on actual reality show articles, but playing games like might cause people to wonder a little about the veracity of your work. This "game" amounts to making deliberately false pages.  Klotiwalo, I assume you will put any similar games up for MfD also once we deal with this one.    DGG ( talk ) 03:06, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as entirely fictional; WP:WEBHOST applies. Stifle (talk) 11:46, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This page contains no information that is useful to the building of an encyclopedia. Per WP:USER: Your userpage is for anything that is compatible with the Wikipedia project. This page's content is unarguably not compatible to our project. Lazulilasher (talk) 02:06, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
