The result of the discussion was  Delete - I, or another member of Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles can userfy it if the author asks, but I'm not going to userfy content to a user who hasn't asked for it. Wily D 07:06, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

The fight to end vandalism


This essay contains redundant, poorly-written, and outright incorrect information. First, we've got some examples of WP:BLP vandalism that are arguably BLP vandalism in and of themselves. Second, we've got a link to Vandalism along with a vague and marginally incorrect definition of "vandalism". And third, we've got implied consent to vandalize the Sandbox, one's own User page, and humor pages, which runs counter to WP:BADSAND and WP:USERPAGE. If we remove the first and third sections and reword and expand the second, we're left with a duplicate of Vandalism. We could always add a forward there, but who's going to search for "vandalism" by typing in "The fight to end vandalism"? Wyatt Riot (talk) 21:20, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

 * userfy It's four days old. No real content as yet, but it's a reasonable topic for an essay. Bring it out of userspace when it's more ready. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:04, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or userfy. It's a WP:REDUNDANTESSAY, already covered by plenty of other guidelines and essays. It was made in good faith, and should be userfied if the author wants it.--SGCM (talk)  22:25, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Pointless and inaccurate rambling which has nothing to do with "fighting" to end vandalism. Nothing of importance is said here. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:59, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Userfy as a disputed single author essay. No reason to delete. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:17, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Userfy - per SmokeyJoe. See Wikipedia essays - User essays ... are often authored by only one person, and may represent a strictly personal viewpoint about Wikipedia. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:51, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Userfy - while essays are indeed individual users' viewpoints, having misleading advice and incorrect information in the Wikipedia namespace is counterproductive. That being said, the user is enthusiastic and still learning (as are we all) and should get a chance to work on the essay in their user space. --bonadea contributions talk 17:58, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
