[edit] User:Kwhite8

Wikipedia is not myspace. Also nominated is User:Smbtuc. Users have no encyclopedic edits. Contested prods. MER-C 05:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment It seems a tad excessive to delete these two user pages. They haven't even been active this year, so it hardly counts as being used as Myspace. -Panser Born- (talk) 11:45, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• That's the point. No encyclopedic contributions + inactivity = deletable crap. We need to get across the point that Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for vanity (i.e. myspace lite) hence this needs to disappear. MER-C 13:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. User pages are for Wikipedia users, which Kwhite8 is not. —Cryptic 17:32, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both:

• User:Kwhite8: Not an editor's page: Only edit (in December) was to his user page. WP is not a permanent free webhost/MySpace substitute. If and when he actually starts contributing, he can get it back.
• User:Smbtuc: Not an editor's page: Only edits (12, in August and October) are to his userspace. WP is not a permanent free webhost/MySpace substitute. If and when he actually starts contributing, he can get it back. --Calton | Talk 01:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both as Wikipedia is not a webhost; the only edits these two users have made are to their userspace, and with SMBTUC's talk page, it seems like it has only been used for (minimal, four edits in the history) chatting. Kyra_~(talk) 06:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both as per Calton. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Poeloq (talk • contribs) 09:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
• Delete both. Neither user has edited in the encyclopedia, or anywhere outside userspace. Obviously, that means Smbtuc has not made the promised contributions to The Underland Chronicles pages. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Kwhite8's user page is a very short bio. Mine is filled with userboxes. Both share the same purpose, to tell anyone reading it a little about yourself. It's in user space and not being abused, so what's the problem? Nardman1 22:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Er, it IS being abused, as in "the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors", and not as a permanent free webhost/MySpace substitute. --Calton | Talk 08:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete over WP:NOT violations. Acalamari 18:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
