Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Deepmath

User:Deepmath

The page looks like a blog or a private web page with very little Wikipedia content. It also contains inflammatory content and many factual errors (like the toxicity of cyanide). It violates the Wikipedia:User page#What may I not have on my user page?.--Sjö (talk) 17:48, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Different people interpret the guidelines differently:

Some people add information about themselves as well, possibly including contact information (email, instant messaging, etc), a photograph, their real name, their location, information about their areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, homepages, and so forth.

This is what I read. I'd like to keep my page and request that Sjö stop harassing me on Wikipedia. If there is some content that Sjö dislikes, we can have a discussion on what is appropriate and what is not in my particular case. It is inappropriate to simply ban a user from having a user page, or to propose it for deletion by referencing general guidelines without being specific about exactly what content on the user page is objectionable. Content on my user page, e.g. likes and dislikes, does not have to be factual. Here is a list of about fourteen articles to which I have contributed heavily: User:Deepmath#And_how.27s_traffic_in_Maryland.2C_boys.3F. Deepmath (talk) 06:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or remove violations of "What may I not have on my user page?" (#2, #3, #4, #9, #10) ~a (user • talk • contribs) 20:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You need to be specific about exactly what the violations are. Deepmath (talk) 20:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't need to. But I will anyways. #2: "Extensive discussion not related to Wikipedia" 99% of the pages and pages of drivel have nothing to do with Wikipedia. #3 "Excessive personal information (more than a couple of pages) unrelated to Wikipedia" Of course the word "page" is undefined, but I think most people would agree that this is more than a couple of pages of personal information. #9 "Extensive personal opinions on matters unrelated to Wikipedia, wiki philosophy, collaboration, free content, the Creative Commons, etc." Yikes. The opinions on French people, preachers, rabbis, cops, men, counterintelligence, and healthcare is divisive to say the least. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 20:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some people add information about themselves as well, possibly including contact information (email, instant messaging, etc), a photograph, their real name, their location, information about their areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, homepages, and so forth. There is no reason to single me out. Many Wikipedians have extensive user pages. Do you have a financial interest in our corrupt healthcare system in the United States? My interest in drug patent reform is certainly pertinent to "collaboration and free content". Deepmath (talk) 21:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) You're not being singled out. This page blatantly fails the guideline so someone nominated it. I agree with the nomination and the guideline. I gave the logic behind my agreement. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 21:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also have some good research ideas on my user page that people would love to patent if they could delete my page to remove evidence of prior art. Deepmath (talk) 21:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not saying that the material doesn't belong anywhere, it's just the guidelines state that they don't belong on Wikipedia (including your user page). ~a (user • talk • contribs) 21:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Do I have a financial interest in healthcare in the United States? What do you mean exactly? ~a (user • talk • contribs) 21:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Drug patents? Making generic drugs illegal? Deepmath (talk) 21:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you think that I have financial interest in making generic drugs illegal? ~a (user • talk • contribs) 21:54, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is prior art for a perfectly patentable idea: Autostereogram#Example code in PHP: What I would really love to do, or like to see done, is to take two photographs from slightly different perspectives, perform edge detection on them, match them up with a maximum mutual information image registration algorithm, and create a grayscale depth map to use as input to my example code in that article. Deepmath (talk) 21:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What does that have to do with your user page? ~a (user • talk • contribs) 21:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is on my user page. Deepmath (talk) 21:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, fair enough. I was suggesting that you "remove violations". Just remove the stuff that violates "What may I not have on my user page?". Sure, keep the php thing on your user page. The guideline doesn't care about that so neither do I. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 22:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you think that I have financial interest in making generic drugs illegal? You object to my discussion of our corrupt healthcare system in the US, which is based on drug patents and raping the public domain. Deepmath (talk) 21:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I object to extremely divisive content only because it's described on WP:UP. I do not have financial gain of course but I don't know why I have to state that. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 22:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You called my opinions extremely divisive, and rather than discussing them, you want to stifle them. Deepmath (talk) 22:12, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
