The result of the debate was Speedy Keep per WP:BITE. Give them some time. Editorally, I've changed this page from 3rd person to 1st person, and removed the external link in the interest of WP:SPAM. — xaosflux Talk 16:10, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

User:Joelporter
Non-notable person, would fail WP:CSD#A7, no value in keeping as user page. User not active. Looks also like a WP:COI because the user is named similarly. Delete. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 ( talk) 01:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Keep speedy even... Talk about WP:BITE, the user's account was set up today and the userpage was MfD'ed 10 minutes after being created. User not active? 100% of his contributions (abet 1 edit) have been today... Come on. How about a hello, welcome. Give the boy a chance to prove his usefulness to the project. At the most, I would suggest removing the external link -- but it would be better to expalin and have the user do it himself.-- Jordan 1972 ( talk) 01:43, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. Your deletion reason is that the user has a conflict of interest with his own userpage? That a user who just set his page up 10 minutes ago is "inactive"? You're aware it's November 1st, not April 1st, right? Ignoring the bite factor, it's still a speedy keep: you didn't give one good reason to actually delete the page. -- UsaSatsui ( talk) 05:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep User:Jordan 1972 & User:UsaSatsui have said it all. Plus, if we go about like this, we might be scaring away people who could be very valuable to Wikipedia in the future. Chamal talk 15:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
