User subpage fails WP:FAKEARTICLE and WP:NOTWEBHOST. – JBarta (talk) 01:42, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Note user has since copied everything to User:Deaths in 2013/sandbox. – JBarta (talk) 05:26, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Moved from User_talk:Jbarta#Why_delete_my_subpage?:
I'm curious: why is this page that I created nominated for deletion? What's wrong with it? Deaths in 2013 (talk) 04:23, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- As the nomination says, it fails WP:FAKEARTICLE and WP:NOTWEBHOST. "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content." – JBarta (talk) 04:28, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- I copied everything on the page and put it in my sandbox until I can find a page to have it. Where else is a good place to put it besides my user sandbox? Deaths in 2013 (talk) 05:30, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- There is no place to permanently park it on Wikipedia. If you believe any, some or all of the material would make useful additions to regular articles or valid new articles, I would suggest you make an immediate effort to do so. Then remove whatever is left and confine your article editing to the Wikipedia article space. – JBarta (talk) 05:43, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Comment: For some context, this may be useful here. – JBarta (talk) 20:01, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
Delete Majority of the information in this user page is either present or can be added to existing longevity articles. Numbers 5, 9, 11, 14, 18 to 28 and 35 to 52 contain information that already exists in other longevity articles. Numbers 16 and 29 to 33 can be incorporated into existing longevity articles (if not already done so). The remaining are all useless information such as "How old were the verified 116 year olds when I was born", etc. CommanderLinx (talk) 02:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom and CommanderLinx. No doubt the editor has put a lot of work into it, so I would recommend him to save or host his work elsewhere. Looking at the excessive and trivial details, it also goes against WP:INDISCRIMINATE. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:09, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
I think that numbers 13, 16, 17, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33 are the most useful sections of the entire page and can be added to the correct existing longevity articles. Everything else is trash and can be deleted. Deaths in 2013 (talk) 04:11, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- 13 ('1,455 verified oldest people') is entirely useless without sources, as is everything else on the page that lacks sourcing. Per WP:BLP policy, such material must be sourced first. AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete as unsourced - and as such in contravention of WP:BLP policy. If User:Deaths in 2013 wants to keep it he/she can find somewhere off-Wikipedia to do so, this is not a webhosting service. AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and all the others above. This fails so many policies it's hard to list them all. And on top of all that, several statements on this page clearly attempt to violate WP:OWN. Has anyone looked into whether this is a sock of Bensonfood?? — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) (User:Wtwilson3) — 14:46, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- No, this isn't a sock of Bensonfood. I know this user from another place, we just have similar lists on our page, that's all. Bensonfood 16:20, 15 Dec 2014 (Greenwich Mean Time)
- Question Am I right in assuming that this MfD discussion also applies to the copy of the page being discussed that User:Deaths in 2013 created at User:Deaths in 2013/sandbox after this discussion was started? It would seem entirely inappropriate for the result of this discussion to be subverted by a simple copy-paste. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:41, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- Yes it also includes the material copied to the sandbox. That it was all copied to the sandbox was mentioned early on in this discussion. – JBarta (talk) 02:59, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
