The result of the discussion was: keep. WP:SNOW, I don’t think this is a correct application of U5 (non-admin closure) Dronebogus ( talk) 00:00, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Likely U5, but not sure. Lemonaka ( talk) 08:47, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Not WP:U5. It is objectively not WP:U5 eligible. Check the text. SmokeyJoe ( talk) 09:01, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Apparent good faith editor who has contributed to articles. This userpage is just a list of the user's personal interests, and is not promotional in nature, and it is not out of the ordinary for regular editors of pop culture articles to list their favorite shows/movies/books or whatever, on their userpages. While this user could stand to perhaps make the list less excessive in length, there's nothing wrong with this userpage in principle. This should be discussed with the user, or else left alone. silvia ( User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) ( inquire within) 11:03, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Too much of this userpage is dedicated to personal interests (almost to the point of self-promotion), instead of Wikipedia-related contents and issues. — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 14:35, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- I personally don't see how this is promotional since it does not contain any
call to action, nor external links to a blog or YouTube channel or anything similar. It does certainly seem to be against the user page content guidelines as it's wholly unrelated to their Wikipedia editing, but given that this user is an active contributor I feel the potential
WP:BITING effect of this being deleted is of greater concern in this case. Just my take anyway.

- @ BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4: In my vote and comment, I used the formulation "Almost to the point of self-promotion". I wouldn't say it crossed the point of being fully promotional, but it certainly is against the user page content guidelines, and is full of content completely unrelated to Wikipedia editing (as you pointed out yourself). As for WP:BITING, I can understand that concern, but editors should realize what their userpage can and can't contain. In the end, if this userpage is deleted (as it should be), then the editor in question is free to re-create it, with far more appropriate content. — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 23:12, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

- Keep: Not particularly promotional. Within, albeit barely, reasonable leeway. While the user has most contributed bytes to his Userpage, it was almost all added on a single day, 15 May 2022, and that single day excluded, he has more mainspace contributions than Userpage contributions. There is no actual problem here to solve, let alone a deletion reason. SmokeyJoe ( talk) 22:58, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - identifying one's interests is a perfectly reasonable use of a user page. It may have some excessive detail but no more so than many other user pages. -- Whpq ( talk) 23:15, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per SmokeyJoe.-- 🌈WaltCip-( talk) 14:22, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Obviously not U5. Yeah it has excessive detail, but the user has made contributions outside of userspace. Curbon7 ( talk) 21:57, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
