The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Delete. By his own words, the editor shows a severe misunderstanding of the purpose of Wikipedia's userpages. This result, supported by consensus below, should help the editor begin to learn. Xoloz (talk) 12:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:TK(film)

Used for advertising, but I'm not comfortable just deleting this myself. I have left the creator with a welcome and a request to read WP:USERPAGE. A look at his contribs shows some self promotion, so he may not understand how the community feels about this. I'm leaving the speedy tag on in case someone less squeamish decides to go for it.

  • Delete Although I removed the speedy deletion, and I think you made the right call bringing it here. However, Our Life was deleted three times, including once by me, TK (actor) once before coming to the userpage. This, along with the wording of the userpage, makes me think it is intended as advertising and self-promotion. --TeaDrinker (talk) 23:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I was the one who placed the speedy deletion tag there; since it is obvious that the content is only used for promotion/advertisement. Looking at the user's contribs makes me think, that the user has just one intention: To advertise on Wikipedia. User Doe ☻T ☼C 00:40, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (oh, and you edit conflicted me :P) As I say below, he has made constructive contributions. True, a majority are to his user page, but the fact remains that he's probably willing to contribute to the encyclopedia in a manner that isn't against policies; we just have to tell him that advertising is unencyclopedc first (as we have, though I'm guessing he hasn't read it as he hasn't replied on his talk page).

Comment If we decide to keep the user's page, then the user should at least rewrite it a little bit. In the current form it really reads somehow like self-promotion/advertisement. The reason why I wrote that I think he's here for advertisement is not only based on the user's contribs but also on what he wrote on his talk page.

Umm... What's wrong? I did create that page. I created it cause I wanted people to know that I'm making a film.[...]

That somehow sounds like the user admits that he's advertising. Of course, that's how I see it. Maybe I just have spam allergy ;-) User Doe ☻T ☼C 00:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I got that idea too. Dlohcierekim 01:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that that sounds like he knows he is advertising, but he's a new user; I'm guessing he isn't fully learned on all Wikipedia policy, including that which prohibits advertising. I suggest that when he responds on his talk page, we kindly ask him to rewrite his user page to be a bit less like an ad. Master of Puppets Care to share? 01:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This was his response to my notes on his talk page. For what it's worth. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 15:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment One more reason to delete his user page. He seems to know what he's doing; furthermore he also seems to know, that the community doesn't like it and somehow he thinks it's funny. I don't think it's funny. User Doe ☻T ☼C 21:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - From the above, the user is fully aware of what he is doing, and seems to think proper WP behavior in one area excuses poor WP behavior in another. Moreover, if he is making a film, it's a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. If he wants to advertise, he can go to Myspace. MSJapan (talk) 20:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Listen I have a MySpace which is pretty hard 2 use. I'll help editing when I can. Now, I don't have much time because of school and projects etc... With respect, you can't just make people dissapear. And peace as always. I'll try 2 edit if somethings true.TK(film) (talk) 20:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody would like to make you disappear; however, advertising anywhere on Wikipedia is not acceptable. Could you rewrite your userpage in accordance with WP:USERPAGE as soon as possible? Thanks. Master of Puppets Care to share? 21:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Even if you can't use MySpace; Wikipedia is definitely not the place for self-promotion/advertisement. If you want, you can open your own website and add it to the index of a few big search engines. However, advertising on Wikipedia is not acceptable. Unless you rewrite your user page, the community will probably decide to delete your user page. Regards User Doe ☻T ☼C 21:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me if I am wrong, but you seem to see your user page as the equivalent of a Myspace page. It is not. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a web host. The use of userpages is much more constrained. Please read WP:USERPAGE. The simplest solution is to remove anything that might be considered promotional from your userpage.
