| Editor | Comment | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Naerii | Keep, sigh. | No reason given. |
| Viridae | productive editor who just wants some fun - my opinion would change of course if they werent productive. | User edits were not examined. |
| Philippe | Simply a personal opinion. | |
| Sceptre | (speedy keep) "Good lord, is humor illegal? Sean William @ 00:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)". | did not address article. |
| Justin Eiler | (weak keep) "Weak" because, strictly speaking, they don't directly promote the main mission of the site. "Keep" because though they don't directly promote, they do support that mission as a social outlet that still directs the users towards positive and continued contributions. | An analysis of user contribs suggests otherwise. |
| Kurykh | Do they distract the editors from collaborating on the encyclopedia? No. Do the editors involved only edit these pages and not help the encyclopedia? No. Therefore, WP:NOT#MYSPACE should not apply. | An analysis of user contribs suggests strongly otherwise. |
| Basketball110 (member) | (various comments) | aims stated did not match edits made. |
| Martinp23 | There's a community on Wikipedia. It needs funny, quirky stuff to survive. Screaming "omg myspace" at anything which isn't an article doesn't help our aim at all. These are created by productive editors and nominating them for deletion is, on the face of it, simple grouchiness. Do you think people would contribute here if they didn't find it fun? | An analysis of user contribs suggests otherwise. |
| Friday | Wikipedia:Delete all cabals - we have to do it; it's policy | (injecting much-needed humour into mfd!) |
| RyRy5 (member) | These cabals do promote in helping the encyclopedia with smiles, keeping cool, promoting articles to GA, ect | It's a social club and no articles were edited by them. |
| GlassCobra | Strong Keep per all above. Would support speedy close. | No reason given. |
| Parent5446 (member) | If some editors want to get together and help each other out (our first project being the random article contest, which is a race for the members to find a random article and raise it to GA or higher), then why stop them (or us, I should say). | An analysis of user contribs suggests otherwise. |
| JoshuaZ | keep per Viridae | Viridae's rationale made assumption user was productive. |
| Rodhullandemu | Keep again, per Viridae. If they were doing little else, fine, but they're not. | An analysis of user contribs suggests otherwise. |
| Mtmelendez | Ahem, Strong Keep | No reason given. |
