Keep per everything I said on other MFD's--Coldplay Expert 01:27, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, along with other users' secret pages. It's not hurting the encyclopedia; if you don't want to try to look for it, don't. Tezkag72 (talk) 02:48, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:UP#Games. --RL0919 (talk) 03:48, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well within reasonable leeway for a valued wikipedian. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTMYSPACE and WP:UP#Games. Secret pages do not contribute to building the encyclopedia. Cunard (talk) 05:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I see no reason to destroy this. There's no mandate that user pages must be exclusively related to encyclopedic studies is there?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 12:02, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is: see WP:UP#What may I not have on my user page?: "Your user page is about you as a Wikipedian, and pages in your user space should be used as part of your efforts to contribute to the project." JohnCD (talk) 15:25, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Very active editor, and active editors need to be encouraged. The gameplay isn't their main activity here, so it can be tolerated. Coming here for a combination of reasons is on balance, more beneficial to the encyclopedia than if they didn't come here at all. We need to encourage good editors, even if only 90% of what they do is actually positive & the rest irrelevant but not harmful. DGG ( talk ) 18:27, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not myspace, etc. Established editors must be held to the same standards as newbs, if not higher. → ROUX ₪ 23:38, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

certainly held to the same standards when they are doing harm, but they can be encouraged a little when the problem is not actually harmful. DGG ( talk ) 14:21, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But that's hardly welcoming to new contributors, is it? Newbs are told to put their nose to the grindstone, while 'established' (whatever that means) editors are free to do stuff the new ones are explicitly disallowed. And I don't just mean these bloody stupid userspace games, obviously, but it's part of the problem. → ROUX ₪ 16:00, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
