Promotional userpage I tried CSD but the tag was removed by the creator and your not allowed to re add a CSD tag after removal Dq209 (talk) 15:17, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I've also added back the CSD, as page creators cannot remove the CSD. Also sending a caution to the page creator. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:22, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - No opinion as to the merits of the speedy deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:44, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's draft notes about Kalaripayattu, a notable subject. Obviously not material that should be in mainspace, but clearly a good faith attempt to write about an encyclopedic subject. The only thing that could be confused for being promotional is the first line -- a basic introduction of the user which is even oriented around what they want to edit on Wikipedia. I see no problem with this in userspace. Move the Kalaripayattu material to a sandbox if necessary. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 20:33, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - The first part of the page is this new editor introducing themselves and their area of editing interest here at Wikipedia and is exactly what a user page is meant for. The second part of the page is writing about Kalaripayattu.  It's a misplaced draft, and it appears to be based on personal knowledge of the subject, but this is something that is not an unusual situation with a new editor. -- Whpq (talk) 21:03, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Blatant misuse of Wikipedia to self-promote, and by a non-contributor.
 * Delete all of:

this is a valid subject from india.and contains a lot of information that many are not aware of.i am still doing my work.its not something I can explain you here.so kindly allow someone to do work rather than being so and more bothered to delete someones hard efforts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vidhuraghavan (talk • contribs) 05:03, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You should try improving existing content. Have you not found anything at Kalaripayattu that can be improved.  It is generally a mistake to try to begin as a Wikipedian by creating new pages.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 17:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * according to this editor the current article and its format are "so boring" and it needs its own article with its own special format. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:13, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

I am updating it but slowly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vidhuraghavan (talk • contribs) 15:46, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete the draft and remove the draft section from the user page There really isn't any substance to what he has written about the subject so far as it has no sourcing and is written in a totally unencyclopedic tone and format. As I tried to explain to the draft's author in Draft talk:CVN Kalari Kalaripayattu ( Martial Arts), it was previously decided that this subject wasn't independently notable and was merged into Kalaripayattu and that a good use of his knowledge would be to try to improve Kalaripayattu (he has so far refused).
