This was an article, which was deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kyle Schole. GGG65 asked for the article to be restored and userfied so that he/she could merge content from it into another article. The restoration and userfication duly took place, but now, a few days short of a year later, nothing has been done with it. Wikipedia:User pages is quite clear on this: "Userspace ... should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content". Whatever the intention of the user who asked for userfication, the page is in fact being used only "to indefinitely host ... deleted content". After virtually a year, it is time to decide that userfication has not served any useful purpose, and the deletion decision at the AfD should be implemented.

- Because it is in their userspace and they are responsible for keeping it tidy. If you like you can try to convince them to db-u1 it. --

- Delete. Clear and strong AfD. No clear merge target. BLP. BIO1E. Too long inactive. Allow user fixation again only with a firm plan. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 11:14, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Well that's a surprising amount of interest in a page buried as a draft on a user page. I have the intention to clean and update a number of pages related to the Canada-Wide Science Fair and Youth Science Canada, however the scope of that effort and the sourcing of suitable references required for "notability" makes is a long task that I have not had the time to undertake. Unfortunately I have no updated timeline as to when I will be able to tackle this work. I have copied the material off-line so if deletion will make people feel happier then go ahead and do it, I suppose, however the long-term intention is to use this material, which although poorly constructed is still valid and of reasonable significance in my view.
