Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:What the Wikipedian saw


 * 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 debate was Speedy Userfy per discussion with creator; this page was created in good faith, but in the wrong namespace. It can now be found at User:Darkside2000/What the Wikipedian saw, and I've deleted the redirect (per standard practice). WaltonOne 18:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

What the Wikipedian saw
*Userfy - Maybe not particularly useful, but a lot of userpages aren't, and maybe in time it could get added to the Signpost or something. John Carter (talk) 17:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Utter rubbish, nonsense created by a mischievous editor. WWGB (talk) 14:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Userfy. It isn't a nonsense page; I see what he's trying to do (viz. write a collective story about the experience of a newbie on Wikipedia). However, it isn't really appropriate for projectspace, though it isn't the creator's fault that he didn't know that. (As an aside, the nomination is needlessly WP:BITEy. "Utter rubbish" and "mischievous editor" are not helpful or constructive remarks. It would have been more helpful to explain civilly to the creator why the page isn't appropriate in projectspace.)

 * Keep - The creator has sent me a message apologizing for the page, and indicating that it was intended to be a part of the Department of Fun. I have left a message on the talk page there notifying them of its creation. Only if they find it unacceptable do I think deletion would be called for. John Carter (talk) 18:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
