[edit] User:Vashtihorvat

This is a user page being used as a personal web page. User has made no contribution to Wikipedia except to build and maintain his user page over several years. Proposed deletion was immediately removed by user. PCock (talk) 18:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Delete. This was even originally created in the main article space, and then userfied instead of deleted (probably the wrong message in this case). The use has had over two years to show some interest in Wikipedia for something other than please-don't-say-vanispamcruftisement purposes, but has done nothing outside this page. Wikipedia is not for self-promotion. — Gavia immer (talk) 21:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Update:I stand by my original comments, and remain concerned about this user, but per the changes in behavior mentioned below by Doug, I no longer believe it necessary to see this page deleted. — Gavia immer (talk) 13:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Administrator note: The creator of the userpage placed comments above the header, deleted the Delete comment immediately above, and refactored the nomination to a comment of his or her own in support of keeping the page. In order to restore the comments, I had to remove all of the creator's comments, but they can be viewed in the page history. This note is intended to direct others to the page history, I assume that the user does not understand the process here - but have issued a level 4im warning just in case the mess was intentional.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 21:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I received an apology from the above user via e-mail and she or he has removed much of the material from the userpage. Also, the user has begun editing.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 02:10, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

• Good Faith Keep, user has now begun editing, so no longer just a personal web page. So long as the user continues to make at least vaguely positive contributions, I don't see any harm in keeping this. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC).
