[edit] User:Text97

Not an active editor's page: Only edits were in April and May (and mostly to this page and to uploading self-portrait) -- and to remove the Prod tag place on the page yesterday. WP is not a free webhost and user pages are not a way to skirt notability requirements for mainspace articles. --Calton | Talk 07:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Note that the page initially only came to exist here after being moved from article space (see talk), but even so, it's been there for months and clearly now is in the category proposed by the nominator. Orderinchaos78 13:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep for now. User promises to be an active editor from now on. -PLEASE- cut me a little slack here. I really would like to keep this page. I worked on it for a bit, and if you give me say 30? days to prove myself, I'll be a more frequent editor here. I appreciate your consideration.Text97 01:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

IMHO, the issue not so much the dearth of constructive edits as the apparent use of Wikipedia as a free web host or advertising. The content really needs to be more in line with guidelines. Maybe if the contributor demonstrates some constructive editing the community would feel better about granting greater leeway in the future. Right now, I fear the only purpose of the account is free web hosting. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 01:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Vanity page and I'm not much of a fan of userfication for precicely the reason this has ended up on mfd. Note user has the following user contributions: 8 main, 1 Talk, 19 User, 2 Wikipedia, 3 Image. Total 33. Last edit to mainspace in May. Whatever the reason for the page its not because the user intends to contribute to wikipedia. Spartaz 23:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
