YANWO (Yet another Wikipedian organisation) Computerjoe's talk 17:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment True, but which (if any) of the policies does it violate? Gwernol 17:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

It does not violate any policies, however, but it's a pointless (no offense) subpage. Computerjoe's talk 19:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Also, I doubt vandals need therapy Computerjoe's talk 19:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep in the context of Computerjoe's remarks above. While I find the notion of this page to be at best misguided, I don't see a compelling reason to delete it right now. Gwernol 19:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Because

(A)It is in my userspace

(B)I don't think it breaks any policies

(C)It helps users by helping them with their vandal-like behavior

(D)We don't have to indef block users who could be cured and

(E)Cured vandals can start to feel good about themselves if after they're converted they put their former wikilife of vandalism to use. GangstaEB (sliding logs~dive logs) 18:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per GangstaEB. FellowWikipedian 18:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Breaks no policy and is trying to help vandals reform Aeon ^{Insane Ward} 21:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Mainly since it's in the userspace and doesn't seem to violate, WP:Userpage.I really like the idea of helping vandals become useful and effective editors. Yanksox 22:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Unlike this (which I now realize as offensive), this is not one bit offensive. Fredil Yupigo 00:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I think the basic policy about user subpages is that unless it offends people or violates policy, only the User should delete it. Wikipedia's False Prophet holla at me petition 04:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep—There's at least a possibility of it doing some good, but even otherwise it's not harming anything. Ardric47 21:50, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep exactly per Ardric47. --Zoz (t) 16:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - userspace. GeorgeMoney ^(talk) 20:19, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• High bogosity. Weak keep because it's in userspace and is at least an attempt (apparently in good faith) to help the encyclopedia by "curing" vandals. WP:SNOW seems to apply to its prospects, but it's unlikely to be counterproductive since both casual vandals and feuders will simply ignore this project. Barno 16:33, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep --Terence Ong _{(Chat | Contribs)} 10:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, does not violate any policies, we can WP:AGF.  :) --Nearly Headless Nick 12:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
