Life in a nutshell


And

Pointless page which, despite the claim in the page, is not particularly humorous. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:40, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:58, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - It is rather pointless and crude with no redeeming value to the reader. As to "humor", this falls short in a spectacular fashion.  Dennis Brown (talk) 15:43, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - inappropriate user of Wikipedia space. Achowat (talk) 13:16, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Userfy as a disputed single author essay. Not much related to the project. Could have some possible use in introducing this new user. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:19, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Edited - Now it's up to you to judge if deletion is still pertinent. Thecameraguy12345678 (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes it is, but thanks for playing. I think the idea is that it doesn't need to be in mainspace.  If you wanted the current version in your own name space, no one would likely care. Dennis Brown (talk) 16:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Userfied - Page is now on User:Thecameraguy12345678/Life in a nutshell. You are free to delete Life in a nutshell. End of discussion. Thecameraguy12345678 (talk) 16:45, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Userfying it as an attempt to evade deletion is a dubious step. Also, it is completely out of line with the user page guidelines, being unrelated to editing the encyclopaedia, and created by an editor who seems to have very little interest in constructive contributions to the encyclopaedia. Such pointless nonsense in the user space of a constructive editor is usually ignored, but when someone's main purpose in editing Wikipedia seems to be to create and then protect such nonsense, it is a different matter. Wikipedia is not a free web host. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:58, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The page wasn't userfied, but copy-pasted. There are now two pages.  The userspace page should be deleted, and userfication, if to be done, should be done by a page move.
 * I don't have a strong view on whether the page should be deleted or allowed to stay in userpsace, just that it doesn't belong in projectspace. As an wikipedia-essay, is it quite weak.  The recent editing has only made it weaker.  I don't think it merits the classification of "essay".  Neither is it "humor".  Its only possible redeeming aspect is that that author may submit that it explains something about the author that is useful for other Wikipedians to know about the author.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:10, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete No point, just a piece of rubbish Mdann52 (talk) 13:39, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I have 3 things to say. First, I have redirected Life in a nutshell to User:Thecameraguy12345678/Life in a nutshell. Second, it's rubbish and non-sense but it's the first page of that kind I create and it's not my principal interest. My principal interest is to contribute to articles, even if I don't do it very often on the english version of the site but mostly on the french version (less populated and sometimes poor in information compared to the english version). I'm not looking for a "free web host" but I'd like to just try to contribute to Wikipedia Humor and use the page as a sandbox as well (I should maybe use my sandbox for that but I prefer having a title that has something to do with the subject of the article). Third, I'm not defending such non-sense, I'm just trying to act as someone more responsible than a person that will post such garbage and leave it where it is without even caring for the fact there will be a discussion over your pointless page. I'm quite new to article creation (I have mostly edited until now and tried to create a serious article that I unluckily couldn't source enough) and I'm trying to correct my error. Now I think that with a redirect it's totally userfied then, no? Thecameraguy12345678 (talk) 21:45, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete the redirect. Project "humour" needs to have relevance to the project and some educational value. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:01, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
