Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Billdorr/sub0

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 discussion was blanked by owner. Billdorr returned from a year of inactivity to blank this sandbox page as a result of this discussion. While blanking in the course of an MFD discussion may indeed be against the letter of the MfD guidelines, in this case I feel it is completely keeping with the spirit of those guidelines.

• Delete I agree. Abandoned draft made by an inactive user. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 01:23, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
• Delete per above, without prejudice. The user should always be able to get this back if he asks. MER-C 03:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Kayau Voting IS evil 11:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
• Comment While I don't disagree that I haven't touched the page for a while, still a little surprising to see a user subpage be nominated for deletion. The database server running out of room or something? --Billdorr (talk) 06:49, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
• Keep Looks like it is used for testing, a legitimate use of subpages. Deleting doesn't save any space. Legitimate reasons for deleting are when material is harmful in some way, or encourages game-playing to the exclusion of encyclopedia building. Neither of those reasons apply, so until it is clear that the user isn't returning (a year isn't long enough to conclude), what's the harm?--SPhilbrickT 16:00, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
• Settlement I blanked it. I couldn't see any particular reason to keep any of the content there any longer. I know, I know, the infobox thing says not to blank the page, but I'm the owner of the page (hell, it has my name on it), so I feel like I at least have a right to clear it out if I want to. --Billdorr (talk) 23:02, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Put the page back and stop letting people intimidate you when you haven't violated any policies. State your reason for keeping the page is for "experimentation" as a "personal sandbox" which is explicitly allowed by WP:UPYES policy. You are not permitted to blank a page in an MfD. ;) EdEColbert^{Let me know} 07:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

• Keep First of all, he is back and just made an edit. Second, it doesn't violate any policies and could just be used as a cheatsheet so that the user can recall how to create a table or properly format things. Testing is very important and definitely allowed. The user may wish to become much more active one day. Probably not anymore due to us hassling him unnecessarily.

• You guys are ridiculous. First you want to delete my pointless 5 year old test page, and after I look it over, decide for myself that it really doesn't have anything important worth saving and clear it out, I get told to put it back? You know there's a reason why people mock Wikipedia for it's edit wars, and while this certainly isn't as full blown or convoluted as one of those is, it's still pretty damned silly. I am the owner of that sub page/sandbox/experiment/whatever you want to call it. If I want to wipe it, that's my business. This discussion is over, and I implore all of you to go do something more important for 5 minutes. Seriously, go, get out, shoo. --Billdorr (talk) 10:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
