The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was delete. The concerns here seemed to be that the user subpage wasn't being used in any conceivable fashion to further the encyclopedia. Killiondude (talk) 05:04, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Caution: NSFW link ahead. User:Neverlights2/Sandbox[edit]

T&A gallery created by user with no other nontrivial contributions, includes non-free content, no encyclopedic value, misuse of sandbox. I don't see any speedy category this fits into, unfortunately. --Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:37, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete as WP:CSD#G2 (test page). I think this is sound reasoning, but I'll leave it up to another admin to second this. –xenotalk 17:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as completely un-necessary. ╟─TreasuryTag►Africa, Asia and the UN─╢ 19:26, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - A gallery in userspace of images created, uploaded, edited, or monitored by a particular user is perfectly valid; a gallery of images that a user happens to like and which merely duplicates galleries (and categories) already present on Wikimedia Commons is not. I would oppose deletion if the page had an encyclopedic purpose (e.g., to monitor pages for vandalism using Special:RelatedChanges), but Neverlights2's contributions history provides no indication that this is the case. –BLACK FALCON (TALK) 21:26, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but remove the fair-use stuff. If Cyde Weys is allowed one of these, let's give them to all editors. @harej 23:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Could you provide a link to Cyde Weys' page? Thanks, –Black Falcon (talk) 00:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you.
    harej, I don't think Cyde's page is comparable. He indicates on that page that the gallery serves a specific, Wikipedia-related purpose (tracking trends). Neverlights2 is a new user and unlikely to have a similar purpose in mind. –Black Falcon (talk) 07:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very Weak Delete We've allowed these in the past if they are stripped of fair use content. This one doesn't offer much value but there's not a compelling reason to delete. The only reason I'm on the delete side here is because of the lack of other contributions here and the lack of commentary on the images. I think we should generally keep free image galleries user space if they have any value at all, even a little. Gigs (talk) 03:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lack of specified user contributions outside of this gallery as pointed out by Gigs. Miami33139 (talk) 15:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
