If we are to have User:TropicalAnalystwx13/Sandbox deleted as a fake article then i would reccommend that this sandbox is also deleted under the same rules. Jason Rees (talk) 01:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:FAKEARTICLE states: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion." Because this page violates WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:FAKEARTICLE, it should be deleted.

 * Keep article has a template on it stating "This is not a Wikipedia article: This is a workpage, a collection of material and work in progress that may or may not be incorporated into an article. It should not necessarily be considered factual or authoritative." Which it certainly isn't. Seems to be in use for editing tests/practice. Also some other page being nominated for deletion has no bearing on whether this page should be kept (especially when the two pages are dissimilar in a great many ways), so the reason for nomination seems invalid. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:09, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Acctually at the time of nomination the pages were not that dissimilar.Jason Rees (talk) 01:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Editing tests and practice are acceptable uses of userspace. However, this page has surpassed the leeway given to test pages, in that it is of substantial length and contains false content. It contains sentences such as "The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic Hurricane Season in recorded history, shattering records even that the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season could not." and "Hurricane Nana was the costliest hurricane of 2014, striking New York City and causing $74 billion in damages and killing 145 people." The page solely consists of made-up content about the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season which has not occurred yet. This page therefore violates WP:MADEUP and User pages, which includes: "Extensive writings and material on topics having virtually no chance whatsoever of being directly useful to the project, its community, or an encyclopedia article. (For example in the latter case, because it is pure original research, is in complete disregard of reliable sources, or is clearly unencyclopedic for other clear reasons.)" Because this content is madeup, it is not "directly useful" to the project. I am not opposed to editing tests. But when such tests span the length of several pages, they become problematic. Wikipedia is not the place to host fictional material about hurricanes. Cunard (talk) 01:06, 26 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. I'm sorry, but I just find it inconsiderate, calling for tens of thousands of deaths and billions in damage. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:22, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, utterly unacceptable use of userspace and I strongly agree with Cunard. Strange Passerby (talk • contribs) 08:18, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I also note the user was previously warned about this and agreed to take it down, but has not done so in the 1.5 months since. Strange Passerby (talk • contribs) 08:20, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
