User:Tony_winward
Per WP:UP, nonsense page using non-free images outside of article space  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Evil saltine (talk) 21:20, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep non free images are gone, and it is not WP:nonsense as the text makes sense and does not make any ridiculous claims. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete "fake encyclopedia articles" are damaging because they abuse the credibility of Wikipedia when a user lands on them, potentially confusing them with a real article. User has only sparse contributions outside of this self-promotional article. Gigs (talk) 23:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as garbage posing as a real article. Harmful to the project.--Blargh29 (talk) 05:30, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as it isn't nonsense and no longer uses any non-free images. There's (as far as I know) no policy against "fake encyclopedia articles" at present. A request to add userpage might be appropriate if this survives. – Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 19:36, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The guideline specifically mentions extensive self-promotional material that is not related to the encyclopedia at all, which this is. As well, it's important to remember that the userpage guideline does not list everything that is forbidden, it only lists examples of bad ideas. Gigs (talk) 23:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Added .  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:47, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Ask the user to add appropriate tags and/or disclaimers, as the page may mislead readers. Also, your userpage should reasonably and honestly be about yourself or your activities or your intentions here on wikipedia, and so an joke like this, perhaps justified as a sandbox experiement, belongs on a subpage.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:50, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOT, WP:NOTMYSPACE. In addition the userpage policy expressly prohibits excessive personal information, and I would've thought an entire autobiography falls into that. Ironholds (talk) 22:12, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Why is there no MfD tag on the page?  I see that the user reoved a notification from the talk page, but I don't see any addition of removal of the MfD tag on the page itself.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:49, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Gigs. SmokeyJoe: Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the  link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills.  New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). →  ROUX   ₪  23:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Come-on Rouz, are you meaning to be cute or rude? Have you looked at the history of the page?  The nominator should place the tag, and if he didn't, let's remind him.  But he may have, it may have been removed, against the rules, by the User:Tony winward, indicating disrespect, or ignorance of what's going on here.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:26, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
