European Union's MySpace profile[edit]

Notwithstanding the notability of the MySpace account holder, I can't imagine individual profiles are encyclopedic. Ginkgo 100 ^talk 21:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - It's at least an interesting tidbit for the EU article, provided the account is actually maintained by the Union. Robertbcole BobbyContributions/Robertbcole 21:47, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, no merge. Obviously, previous voter didn't read the article carefully. Although this EU My Space looks more like a student's show-off or prank (eg. the EU MySpace profile statistics "The European Union has 0 friends." or "Male, 55" do read kinda funny), it did receive some press coverage. `'mikkanarxi 22:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think I'm going to make a MySpace profile for the League of Nations. (But seriously, I doubt this will pass the "100 year" test.) Caknuck 22:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is self-admittedly not the EU's myspace, it's not owned, run by, or contributed to by anyone affiliated with the EU, it's just a student gimmick — WP:NFT. All those references except this one have "blog" in the url. Also seems to be a case of WP:COI from the creator's name. Demiurge 22:19, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - worthles. confusing. crap. - Femmina 07:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - if it was the offical page of the EU or made by somebody notable for satire (as opposed to random attempts at humor), then there might be a case for keeping it. Koweja 00:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the EU has nothing to do with it, and MySpace accounts set up by Danish students tend to be non-notable and fail WP:WEB. B.Wind 01:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:NOT for random jokes made up on Myspace one day. Sandstein 05:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC) -- PS: Yes, it's said to have gotten media coverage, but really, we don't have to cover every fad from the funny pages. Sandstein 05:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To those of you who have voted for deleting the article: Would it change your opinion if the EU decides to take over the profile? /MM 08:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I would since it would go from being a highschooler's prank to an official project of the EU. One is notable the other is not. Koweja 13:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would still vote delete because it's simply not encyclopedic. I removed the speedy tag and sent it here because the author made some claims to notability, but I don't think they are valid claims. --Ginkgo 100 ^talk 21:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I first nominated this article as a speedy deletion candidate. Notwihstanding the efforts by the editor to remediate the article, to my mind it still fails the notability test. LittleOldMe 13:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as blogspam --timecop 00:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is verifiable information about this, thus, it is a keepable as all the random two-man band pages everywhere.
- Comment - please add a link to all the "random two-man band" pages you know of on wikipedia to my talkpage as I'm a very big fan of "random two-man bands". - Femmina 07:08, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete blogspam -- Koptor 00:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to MySpace if anything, otherwise Delete -- Tawker 07:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If this profile is worth adding then so is all the other thousands of myspace users. --Amanduhh 21:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non notable webpage. --- RockMFR 07:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
