Withdrawing this MfD, I mistook this for massive linkspam at first. Please accept my apologies, Triplestop x3 21:38, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Appears to be a collection of links to external glossaries, with one page for each letter of each language, 166 total. Not encyclopedic content, inappropriate use of user space. Triplestop x3 19:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep Violates no specific WP policy in the claim above. Userspace is not required to be "encyclopedic." No copyvio as the notice given makes clear. Not commercial. Not spam. 3 days old, hence not indefinite storage. User has 20K edits, making the user presumably entitled to be considered an "active contributor." Collect (talk) 20:13, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- And what foreseeable legitimate use does 166 pages of nothing but links have in an encyclopedia? Sure, "active contributors" can be given leeway, however 166 pages is beyond what is reasonable, even for an "active contributor". Triplestop x3 20:23, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep Agree with Collect. Violates no specific WP policy. Wavelength has written many environmental list articles, and these user space pages are being used as part of efforts to contribute to the project. Johnfos (talk) 20:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- Comment. The second paragraph at Wikipedia:User page#What may I have on my user page? says the following.
Your userpage is for anything that is compatible with the Wikipedia project. It is a mistake to think of it as a homepage: Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. Instead, think of it as a way of organizing the work that you are doing on the articles in Wikipedia, and also a way of helping other editors to understand those with whom they are working.
- The tables at User:Wavelength/About Earth's environment/EEA lists/English/0–9 and User:Wavelength/About Earth's environment/EEA lists/English/A illustrate my plan to use red links to show missing articles, with external links to uncopyrighted material for starting those articles and for expanding articles already existing. -- Wavelength (talk) 20:53, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
