Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:TV-VCR/Vandalism


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany 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 debate was Delete. It is a rare day when I invoke "strength of argument" to reach a result that might appear counter-intuitive. In this case, though, all keep commenters make points akin to WP:ILIKEIT, which is not especially revelant to deciding the fate of the page. Additionally, there is this proposition that "vandalism subpages are generally allowed", which is unknown to me, seemingly in contradiction of WP:DENY, and (mostly importantly) unsubstantiated by any evidence cited.

In contrast, deletion commenters ground their objections firmly in policy, and seem to have in mind the welfare of the project, rather than any subjective likes or dislikes. For this reason, I make the (rare, for me) determination to disregard numbers completely. Frankly, absent evidence (and there is none below), I think it would be unreasonable for any closing admin to accept the rationale "vandalism subpages generally allowed" as a valid point in a debate. I'm open to evidence on that point, and there is always DRV available; but, the proper stand for now seems to be to discount that argument. Xoloz 17:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as nonsense. "Vandalism" subpages are generally allowed (for example, User:King of Hearts has one), but this one is disgusting and excessive. Yechiel Man  04:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A disgusting and excessive Vandalism subpage is a Vandalism subpage none the less, which, I believe is allowed. Dfrg.msc 05:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This debate is insane. Just let the PEOPLE decide what they want on their userpages. This isn't a dictatorship, damnit. Dark Ermac 22:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Vandalism subpages are generally allowed, as are many other pointless userspace pages. --- RockMFR 22:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep this page, and, if you insist on deleting it, then you should also Delete nominators sig, as that's even uglier. Thanks, Luc "Somethingorother" French 10:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * What does my signature have anything to do with this? ^ demon [omg plz] 14:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as I would say on any other "vandalism subpage" put up on MFD. Pulling excuses like the nominators signaure is ugly, WP:ILIKEIT and WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS aren't valid arguments. It's against our User page guideline and policy on what Wikipedia is not, end of story. — M o e   ε  18:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Funny page, and a chance to see some of the vandalism some users have done Dep. Garcia ( Talk   + |  Help Desk  |  Complaints  ) 20:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DENY. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 20:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not even that funny, and it's a total mess.  bibliomaniac 1  5  An age old question... 00:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Objecting to a vandalism page being messy is like objecting to a page on Chinese calligraphy containing foreign characters. Stammer 10:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think that vandalism subpages should be allowed. Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 14:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete these things are searchable, and do us no good. DGG 21:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not about the user, it is not relative to wikipedia, and it has no value. --James, La gloria è a dio 01:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete in agreement with Moe Epsilon. Acalamari 17:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
