User:TheInno/Gabriel Grey


10-year-old userification of a draft that was created at Gabriel grey. that is complete nonsense. Ricky81682 (talk) 09:07, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as nonsense. This user subpage should never have been created in the first place. The user whose userspace it is in, and who created the original content, has not edited Wikipedia for over 10 years. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:00, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Replace with Userpage blanked. Not worth this attention, it is nonsense, a test, and by someone in 2006 who wasn't here to contribute usefully.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:00, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It wasn't a test. The editor created the page in mainspace and for some odd reason it was userified. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:42, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Sorry Joe to single you out but you've just stated "and by someone in 2006 who wasn't here to contribute usefully" - So if they've not contributed here in a useful way then what's the point of this being kept, Either way this crap won't ever be edited again so better off deleted .– Davey 2010 Talk 00:28, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This whole discussion is a waste of time. Ricky should have blanked it, the user would never I blank it. By mfding Ricky created busywork, a net negative cf blanking. Maybe Ricky really thinks it is a hoax or a blp attack? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:40, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, of course it's a hoax. The content includes such "little known facts" as "Gabriel Grey invented the Internet, but couldn't be bothered to tell anyone" and "Gabriel Grey can see in 5 dimensions". If there were a real Gabriel Grey that this article is attempting to mock without his consent (I don't know if that is the case), then it would also be a WP:BLP violation. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:02, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Disagree that it is a hoax. A hoax is an attempt to mislead.  This page is obviously not intended to be believed.  I think it is a test of creating a wiki page, and am bemused that Ricky would assert that it is not, or that you would assert that it is a hoax.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:10, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I looked into this some more. Apparently the article was supposed to reflect the gimmicks of a professional wrestler. So it wasn't meant as a test, but was more about writing about fiction from an in-universe perspective. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:22, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Joe - This hasn't been edited since 2006 (minus the maintenance edits) so with the greatest of respect Ricky nominating this was the correct procedure and I believe like yourself he's a net positive here, I totally understand you want everything blanked but atleast to me I see no point in it I really don't, I would ask infuture you Comment on the content, Not the contributor, If you have an issue with Ricky (or vice versa) then take it up at ANI , Have a great day. – Davey 2010 Talk 17:00, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't believe I made a comment on the nominator. I don't believe or advocate that *everything* should be blanked. Anything that violates anything at WP:NOT, for example, is usually best deleted.
 * This page I read as being an obvious test of the wiki, it is not a hoax because it has no pretence of being true. It is not nonsense. Possibly it is Thelno teasing her school friend Gabriel Grey. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:23, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Woops sorry I ended up somehow misreading entirely what you wrote so apologies for that, To be totally honest I'd say it's more vandalism than anything, I think technically it is a hoax but personally I wouldn't classify it as such, Anyway thanks for replying, – Davey 2010 Talk 22:59, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No worries. I have been guilty of it before, and am making an effort to not do it.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:19, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Haha we all have Joe we all have, Only a few months ago I ended up calling someone a moron so it's a bit hypocritical of me to lecture you when I'm just as bad, I think us lot should all meet up & just hug the shit out of each other ... No homo tho . – Davey 2010 Talk 00:52, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
