Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Gewi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany 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 Delete. I considered NY Brad's suggestion; however, I think it is probably best if the user learns rather decisively that "Wikipedia is not for roleplay." If he is confused, I'm sure the deletion will bring to my talk page, where I can give friendly advice, but the line against this sort of misuse should be fairly firm.

[edit] User:Gewi
User page being used for some sort of role playing game, user has made no edits except to user page, this page also being nominated for deletion, and user talk pages. Wikipedia is not a free web host. Khatru2 02:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete user page and subpage but keep user's talk page-- if the user should happen to return, it seems fair to have a message posted on the talk page about what happened to the other two pages. Dar-Ape 03:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete userpage only per the great ape above. -- nae'blis 21:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete userpage only as per above. --Brad Beattie (talk) 17:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Warn user, if no response then delete. Obviously an inappropriate use of Wikipedia resources per Khatru2 above, but absent an emergency, I would support giving this type of user friendly advice to move this type of content elsewhere before simply deleting it. Yes, the "being considered for deletion" banner at the top is a warning, but I imagine it might be a bit inscrutible to a newbie. A friendly message urging the user to find another webhost, and maybe even to also consider making a contribution to the encyclopedia, couldn't hurt. If there's no response after a reasonable time then it can be speedy'd with no argument. Newyorkbrad 00:49, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
