Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Vergina/The state name Republic of Makedonia is disputed


 * 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. One keep argument (political motivation) is discounted as an improper assumption of bad faith. The other, that the user deserves latitude, is reasonable; but, it is also waived in the event of a contrary community consensus. Userpages exist as a courtesy, at the discretion of the community.

Scratchpad page unused since February 2005. ChrisO 20:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep This is clearly a targeted deletion on political grounds. I don't see ChrisO calling for the deletion of other pages that have been far longer unused. sys &lt; in 15:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's nonsense. I came across this series of defunct pages while tidying up redirects and double-redirects; I've not seen them before. The pages serve no useful purpose that I can see; WP:NOT applies. I've speedily deleted several blank pages in the process of this bit of housekeeping, but refrained from doing so on these since there's some (albeit abandoned) content there. -- ChrisO 20:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. These have all been unused since February 2005, and there might be an issue of copyright on some of these, unless the text is PD. Sysin is reminded to assume good faith. --Core desat 20:18, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep this is an area where the "truth" is in dispute...User is certainly allowed to have draft articles in user space expressing his or her view...doesn't matter how long it takes him or her to finish them. Nardman1 22:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * They're not draft articles, they're collections of quotes and hyperlinks. None of them seem to be more recent than December 2005 - some are from 2004. Again, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. They serve absolutely no encyclopedic purpose. -- ChrisO 22:50, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, not necessary for Wikipedia. Old and unused. &spades; P  M  C  &spades; 08:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is just throwing gasoline on the fire. I don't remember this user ever making a valuable edit in his wikihistory, and all this provocates only bad feeling among Greek and Macedonian Slav editors, giving an excuse to the latter editors to make similar pages. Please keep all in mind this: Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and especially WP:USER, especially when it speaks of WP:USER.--Aldux 12:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete — agree with both of Aldux's reasons Andrwsc 18:26, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Untouched for over two years? By any editor with effectively no edits in the last 12 months? If he wants to save these scraps, that's what a hard drive is for. --Calton | Talk 23:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
