Wikipedia:Newbie club[edit]

unused page. The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 22:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

      • Comment I know this is a 2nd nom. I was having some Twinkle and prging problems --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 02:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nice idea. Take up is slow. Deletion of this is the prerogative of the author. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The page was created in 2005, and nobody posted there between its creation and this week. The page apparently never came to the attention of its target audience. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Userfy per Graham87, below - Slow take up indeed. Likely good intentions on Ed Poor's part, but there's no benefit to be had from a project-space page which has not been used once in the 4 years it has been in existence. Dreaded Walrus t c 00:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Simply no use for such a page. Welcome banners lead editors in other directions. — BQZip01 — talk 02:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Dreaded Walrus 207.237.33.36 (talk) 03:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy - is more suitable in userspace. We generally don't delete the history of pages just because they've been unused. Graham87 14:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment how does one userfy a page obviously intended for a group? Wouldn't that mean declaring the group closed, but keeping the page as a memento for Ed Poor? Or am I missing something really obvious? Totnesmartin (talk) 15:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • There are plenty of pages obviously intended for a group in userspace, such as User:Jennavecia/Bathrobe Cabal. I just don't see the point of deleting the page history, because it's not doing any harm, and the page does not violate any Wikipedia policies. Graham87 03:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – though the idea might be a possibility, this page does no good. TheAE talk/sign 23:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or userfy We have all sorts of pages for newbies that are better visited. A nice idea, but it's not working. - Mgm|(talk) 09:04, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a good idea, except that there are many pages already like this. It really isn't necessary. Hi878 (talk) 22:50, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or userfy The page is not being used so there is no reason to keep it. GT5162 (我的对话页) 17:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
