 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous 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 discussion was: delete. Taking into account the comments about the new version, it appears the consensus is still to delete. I am willing to restore to userspace if wants to take ownership of it and host it, but consensus is that it doesn't belong in WP space. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 01:52, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEYOU


Short Essay rarely seen by people insulting  Bobherry  Talk   Edits  03:21, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Userfy as a disputed single author essay, to User:Basket of Puppies/IDONTLIKEYOU. Actual deletion of project related essays is a socially dangerous thing to do and must not be done lightly, even for blocked users, even for trivial comments. -SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:53, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The page is a misguided complaint against others who presumably were telling the author that their actions at Wikipedia were unhelpful. As a user page, it fails WP:NOTWEBHOST as it has no useful content. Wikipedia should not be a place where someone can post their random thoughts as an essay which then cannot be deleted. Johnuniq (talk) 05:01, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The references to editors is clearly a reference to Wikipedia editors, it is clearly project related, not random, and therefore not a NOTWEBHOST violation. It may be a misguided complaint, but that argument is not helped by following false statements. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:48, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete a misuse of Wikipedia space. Don't userfy as the creator could have done that and clearly did not want it in their userspace. Legacypac (talk) 05:21, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Deletion doesn’t save space. . Many Wikipedians put their POVs into project space essays and see them userfied. It is common behaviour. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:48, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I did not say anything about saving space. Legacypac (talk) 07:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC) No, you didn’t, struck, sorry. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:23, 14 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - I wouldn't call it an essay, rather a trite commonplace with nothing of value to userfy. KJP1 (talk) 05:45, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vandalismn. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:30, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * According to WP:VAND "Vandalism" is . This policy also says that I don't think this qualifies. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:08, 14 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - Having read the revised essay, I feel that I have been involved in a reverse bait-and-switch con game by a respected editor. The revised essay is completely unlike the original essay, and switching essays at this point seems to disrupt the MFD process to make a point.  Trout.  Robert McClenon (talk) 23:50, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that you feel that way, . I would note that almost all of the original wording is still present, the changes were almost all added wording. Specifically pronouins were replaceds, and 2 additional paragraphs added. See this diff I didn't think I had createsd something compeltely different, merely expressed better and more fuly what I read in the original. Also note that the Guide to deletion says  While that speaks of articles, i had always supposed that changes to deal with concerns during a deletion discussion were appropriate at MfD as well.
 * I can agree with Robert. WP:POINT  Bobherry  Talk   Edits  15:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Userfy as per . A not unreasonable comment on the feelings engendered by wiki-dispute, although not sufficiently developed to be a full-blown essay at this point. It is said above that  How do we know that the user was even aware of this option? How is that "clear"? DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:02, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Right - user knows how to set up a Project space "essay" with all caps shortcut but missed the existence of Userspace. How could I be so slow. Legacypac (talk) 22:37, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It isa at least possible that was done by imitation, quite likely imitation of WP:IDONTHEARTHAT which is often quoted at users who are thought persistently disruptive. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:59, 14 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I think I may try to expand on and improve on this right now, in fact. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:02, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Now Keep. I have significantly expanded this. to the point where I don't think there can be any serious question that it is a valid, project-related essay. As it now stands it belongs in project space just as much as many other essays, in my view. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:25, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I urge you all to read the edited essay and reconsider your various comments above. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:30, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * So start over and vote on the validity/userfulness of your new essay? Legacypac (talk) 22:37, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don’t care for this essay, and I really dislike its title for style reasons, but I guess it is now a multi-author essay and for that reason may be allowed in project space. However, as one of the two authors is blocked, I recommend userfying for User:DES.  Delete the project space titles and shortcuts. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:39, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) This thing is a bad idea from top to bottom. Would you be happy if I typed WP:IDONTLIKEYOU on your talk or in any discussion? Seems to me that using this will lead to MORE not LESS conflict. Legacypac (talk) 22:41, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree, it is not an OK project space title. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:46, 14 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete .... IMHO it does nothing but add fuel to a fire ..... Get rid. – Davey 2010 Talk 23:37, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - User essays may be moved categorically into the Wikipedia namespace and this category if they are frequently referenced, as evidenced by becoming an evolving expression of multiple editors. Wikipedia essays may be moved into userspace (or deleted) if they are found to be unhelpful or to contradict a settled point of policy. That said, I  do  not  believe that  this essay  is a helpful  contribution in any way, whichever namespace it goes into. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It is astonishing that anyone could think Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEYOU was desirable—the page should be deleted because it is the opposite of community standards. Use WP:FOC or similar to tell people to talk about content, not contributors. There is no WP:DONTFOCUS to put the contrary case, and there should be no WP:IDONTLIKEYOU. Johnuniq (talk) 00:17, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - As requested above, I've read the revised version and don't think it any more helpful or useful than the first version. KJP1 (talk) 06:04, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree with KJP1 above.  Bobherry  Talk   Edits  16:22, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
