Contributions of newbies are valuable
Speedy userfy per author's request (User:Sebwite/title excluding WP). I forgot about this essay I started, and I can continue with it there. Sebwite (talk) 02:00, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not add anything to WP and is a POV. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 23:38, 28 October 2009 (UTC) -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 23:38, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Essays are allowed to be POV, however, if they haven't done more with it in nearly a month than this, then I don't see much point in keeping it around. Short sentiments like this can just be put on a userpage. Gigs (talk) 01:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Gigs. Crafty (talk) 01:01, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, appears to be abandoned. Stifle (talk) 15:39, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy to User:Sebwite/Contributions of newbies are valuable. Perfectly reasonable user essay.  POV is rarely a good reason for deletion.  We should be loath to delete users' opinions on Wikipedia.  I actually don't see what is so offensive about this essay.  However, disputed single-author essays should be userfied by default.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 20:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as disparaging to new users. Any new user (and some veterans) would most likely be too offended by the POV presented in the first few lines to notice the last statement. At best it belongs in user space with some serious revision to the method of presentation.  delirious  &amp;  lost  ☯ TALK 20:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Does this fix those problems? Do agree that it adds little.  Perhaps redirect to Please do not bite the newcomers.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 20:42, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that it adds little but it takes away the bite to newcomers. Thank you for reminding me of why i had the lingering feeling there was a redundancy to this article.  delirious  &amp;  lost  ☯ TALK 21:22, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Userified to User:Sebwite/Contributions of newbies are valuable CNR nominated for speedy under db-author. Thanks. Gigs (talk) 15:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
