Wikipedia is not a webhost. - Burpelson AFB 00:55, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment More information on how this sandbox violates wikipedia policies would be helpful. The user-space page is marked as being a sandbox. I don’t know what the purpose of the contents of that page are, but sandboxes can temporarily hold all manner of material that might be of some facility in helping an editor build the project. How is that page a “webhost”? Greg L (talk) 21:26, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It looks to me like ASCII art—an image of a facepalm, if the window size is reduced. Not great, and I may be seeing something that isn't there, but I don't think it qualifies for deletion.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:04, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sandboxes are supposed to be for articles in progress or other project related content, like userboxes, etc. The current content of this sandbox appears to be some sort of malformed ASCII art, along with the word TROLL repeated several times. How will this ever be used to improve the project? In addition, contributions like this one [1] make me think there's more here than meets the eye. - Burpelson AFB 15:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and caution user. After reviewing the page, I was inclined to support retention. The page was a sandbox and contained a test edit. However, the diff provided by Burpelson AFB (talk · contribs) is compelling. Burpelson's link motivated me to review closely Roambassador (talk · contribs)'s contributions. I found this edit to List of Victorious episodes, which was made on 03:28, 4 December 2011 (UTC), one minute before this user's creation of this page at 03:29, 4 December 2011 (UTC). A review of the edit to List of Victorious episodes shows the ASCII art in a non-malformed state. I cannot conclusively identify the image; however, I do not believe it is obscene. What compels me to support deletion is this user's abuse of Wikipedia as a playground, in violation of WP:NOTMYSPACE. This page is an extension of the WP:NOTMYSPACE-violating behavior. This is evidenced by the "TROLL TROLL TROLL" at the bottom of User:Roambassador/sandbox4. The user's vandalism (1 and 2) indicate the user is young and immature. I would be inclined to support a WP:COMPETENCE block if issues persist. I would recommend against a block at the moment because there are some good faith but misguided contributions (e.g. 1, trivia) and constructive fixing of typos and capitalization (1 and 2).

  • Delete and caution user per Cunard's meticulous analysis. --Kleinzach 14:46, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
