Delete per WP:NOTMYSPACE and WP:UP#Games. Secret pages do not contribute to building the encyclopedia. Cunard (talk) 09:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

• Keep on the basis that I tried the same thing with GuitarHero Christopher and the community voted keep. I fail to see why you should succeed where I failed. Crafty (talk) 09:58, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

• Which discussion are you referring to? Cunard (talk) 10:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

• The one involving GHC. Crafty (talk) 10:09, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

• Comment Crafty, you know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't a valid argument. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 22:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

• Delete We had a pretty thorough debate on secret pages last month (see here). The consensus was to delete those secret pages even though Tezero was an editor in good standing, because these pages violate WP:MYSPACE and are not protected by the "foundation for effective collaboration" clause. An excerpt from my arguments there, which also apply here: "Secret pages and other games are not only completely irrelevant to the encyclopedia; they furthermore do not and cannot serve any purpose with regards to 'providing a foundation for effective collaboration.' They might be acceptable on a site designed for such social networking, such as Facebook or MySpace, but not on Wikipedia." A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 22:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. I'd be happy to ignore these little side activities, but the community consensus is that we don't want them, as per above. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
• Delete violates WP:MYSPACE. Also, I suggest Crafty check Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Guitarherochristopher/Shopherochristopher and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Guitarherochristopher/My Hidden Page, again, because the consensus in both was to delete (as it was in Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:BIONICLE233/Trytofind, Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Rascal_the_Peaceful/Secret_Page_Challenge, and Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Robbie/Secret_Page_Challenge among others). ~ DC (Talk|Edits) 06:06, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
• Delete - I personally wouldn't mind having these on Wikipedia. But in all honesty, there's no encyclopedic content, and they violate WP:MYSPACE and WP:UP#GAMES. I've never seen a hidden page MfD that's been kept, and this one isn't really an exception. Unless, for whatever reason, some secret pages are kept, shouldn't there be some sort of guideline/policy for them? Maybe even a CSD?

• Delete per WP:UP#Games. We should continue to consistently apply policy and precedent regarding secret pages. Also delete the following associated pages:
  • User:Vinsfan368/^ (redirect page)
  • User:Vinsfan368/!
  • User:Vinsfan368/D
  • User:Vinsfan368/secret
  • User:Vinsfan368/!! and talk page
  • User:Vinsfan368/==

  User:Vinsfan368/? is also part of this series of pages, but I'm loathe to suggest deleting it... –BLACK FALCON ^(TALK) 22:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

  • • User:Vinsfan368/?, the Wikipedia logo converted to ascii art, is acceptable recreation. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
