[edit] User:Hystaeminblumen and year-old vanity pages

Digging even deeper (hey, it's a slow day around here) turns up more stuff from October -- 2005.

Part 2 of working on the theory that Wikipedia is not MySpace. More userfied vanity articles for "editors" clearly who ain't here for the editin', but for the publicizin'/vanity. And yes, I left messages on their Talk Pages:

To recap, they ARE all similar, as these:

a) are user pages that were moved from article space by an admin/editor.
b) were originally articles that were originally speedy-delete candidates or speedy-delete eligible.
c) have page creators who have few/no edits outside user space.
d) have page creators who have not edited since the initial page creation, ONE YEAR AGO.
e) are, prima facie, not user pages, but attempts to use Wikipedia as a free webhost/promotional vehicle. WP:NOT, so the rule about Wikipedia not being a free web host is applicable.

Oops. I intended to leave this one off because it was created in November 2005 (making point #d above technically untrue), but since I actually added the tags:

  • Whoops, got carried away. Thanks. --Calton | Talk 06:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all, including the new one, per nom -- kenb215 talk 12:58, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all, with a request that all future vanity pages in article space be simply deleted, not userfied!!! —Angr 17:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Then you need to take it up with TruthbringerToronto (talk · contribs), who's made it a cause of his over the last few months to save every scrap, no matter how insignificant or obviously speedy. --Calton | Talk 01:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all, per nom and above. -- Ned Scott 23:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
