User:Blackwatch21/Secret Page[edit]

The following pages are included in the nomination:

User:Blackwatch21/SuperSecret (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
User:Blackwatch21/SuperSecretSpecialPage (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (the "real" secret page, which has now been converted into a redirect)
The arguments for deleting secret pages are summarized in the essay Wikipedia:Why secret pages should be deleted.

WP:UP#GAMES states that examples of unrelated content to writing an encyclopedia are "Games, roleplaying sessions, secret pages and other things pertaining to "entertainment" rather than "writing an encyclopedia". Such activities are generally frowned upon by the community. Facetious games of no educational value relevant to the project are routinely deleted at MfD." WP:NOTMYSPACE states that "[t]he focus of user pages should not be social networking or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration."

To the creator: in a July/August 2010 policy discussion (at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 34#Does WP:NOTMYSPACE apply to secret pages?), community consensus was that the policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not does prohibit secret pages. The deletion of this page is not a reflection on you; instead, it is a reflection of the changing community consensus that secret pages set an inappropriate ethos at Wikipedia. In that policy discussion, I wrote here about why all secret pages should be treated equally; whether a user social networks or does not social network on Wikipedia has no bearing on the fact that all secret pages should be deleted.

  • I would have contacted you as I did with several users if you had been active within the past week. I have tagged the pages for deletion per your request. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 23:27, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I check my talk page daily so I would have noticed a message, but anyway i agree with deleting them. Thanks.--BlackWatch21 23:30, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
