Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. User hasn't made many substantial contributions outside of editing his userpage, which he is essentially using as a free web host-- T B C ♣§♠ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 19:59, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- weak Keep. Reasonable amount of personal detail for contributor, even if contributions are infrequent. Appears to have contributed to bio pages of friends, pages that are now deleted. This is not surprising for a not very experienced contributor. His contributions have now been deleted. To now delete his userpage could be perceived as adding further insult. If there is a problem with his page, just fix it, or help him fix it himself. He should remove information about his friendships to people who have now apparently been judged to be non-wikipedia-notable. --

- But the problem is, he's only been using Wikipedia as a social networking site, adding pages and entries on non-notable friends. Also, he hasn't been active for around half a year, so I doubt he'll care.--

- Are you ignoring deleted contributions. I suspect it is not true that he was only using wikipedia for social networking, in the past, not now either. --

- Ignoring deleted contributions? His contributions were deleted/reverted because he was using Wikipedia for social networking. Otherwise, constructive edits would have been kept.--

- OK. Looking closer, his deleted contributions to "award winning power lifter Andrew Spousta" were perhaps not a serious attempt at an article, by the creation of a page about his high school friend. Still, in the interests of not biting newcomers, don't delete, but remove the names of his friends. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 09:35, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

- Keep per above. Bart133 (t) (c) 00:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - Nice catch, Joe. -- Meldshal (§peak to me) 12:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- STRONG Delete per WP:MYSPACE - We are not a social network. User is not making any substantial work or contribution to the community, other than showing himself off on his Userpage. Thor Malmjursson ( talk) 19:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm not opposed to moving this to a sandbox subpage (which sometimes happens for cases like these), but since the user isn't active, I don't think it will make much of a difference.-- T B C ♣§♠ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 05:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
