    • PS I'm not sure I understand the point of userfy-ing a vanity page if the author's sole contributions are to their own vanity page. If an established editor has a lapse in judgement and pulls a vanity, then userfying would make sense. But if someone comes here entirely and solely to promote themselves, I don't think userfying their vanity page is a good idea. At worst, it almost seems to encourage such vanity (Hey, guys, those wikipedia dudes deleted that page I made to promote my lawn-mowing business, but they just put it right back up again in another part of their site! Sweet!) and at best it just creates a page on Wikipedia that nobody, ever, will have reason to visit. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:46, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • 'Userfy' as it is a clear vanity article, but the user does have a registered account, and isn't using his User: space. Oliver Keenan 16:58, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Userfy Regardless of the advertising nature of a page... isn't the whole point of a user page to give info on one's self? [Sheepishly goes to look at what he wrote on his own page...] --Fuzzball! (talk) 01:19, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
