Purely disruptive content, which is similar to this. Note rule number three. There are unnecessary obscenities in this vandal space. It has been determined that pages like this could damage Wikipedia's reputation. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐ • ✍) 02:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- Delete these things are a total waste of time. This page does not contribute to building an encyclopedia.--White Shadows I ran away from you 02:54, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- Keep while deleting the offensive parts etc. Treat this as a public sandbox. Kayau Voting IS evil 03:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:DENY, Wikipedia:UP#GAMES, WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:ENC. This page condones and encourages vandalism and does not contribute to building the encyclopedia so should be deleted.
WP:DENY#Encouragement: Making a big thing out of this issue [vandalism] just reinforces this behavior (see positive feedback). This vandalspace supports the notion that vandalism is acceptable on Wikipedia, thus encouraging vandalism to occur on other parts of Wikipedia.
WP:ENC says, "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia." This vandalspace does not contribute to building an encyclopedia.
WP:UP#GAMES is applicable because this page provides a playground for vandals. I have looked through the page history of User:King of Hearts/Notepad/Vandalism on Wheels! and do not see how this gamepage contributes to "writing an encyclopedia".Furthermore, an IP, while removing vandalism, wrote in an edit summary, "Removed NPOV spam, obsessively promoting TROLL as vandalism as opposed to spam, comedy, etc. Are you a wikipedia administrator?" As the nominator has noted, this vandalpage damages Wikipedia's reputation. Cunard (talk) 04:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- Delete In June 2006 (when this page was created) it may have been amusing to have a vandalspace, but it is now unhelpful since these pages promote the idea that vandalism and adding jokes to pages can be fun. Indeed, a certain amount of respect for vandals is shown by maintaining vandalspaces, whereas the correct response is WP:DENY. It is particularly unhelpful for a vandalism page to be named after a long-term abuser of Wikipedia (that may not have been the author's intention, but it is at least an unfortunate coincidence; per WP:DENY I am not going to name the abuser).
