Stalking and Harassment

Please stop stalking and harassing me. Morton Devonshire^Yo 08:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF, the words "stalking" and "harrassment" are strong.

I am not stalking, or harrasing you. I am attempting to understand wikipolicy as far as canvassing. You are welcome to continue to contact me here, or on my talk page. [1] [2] I welcome your comments. Happy Holidays, Travb (talk) 22:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is the precedence on userpages?

Text of Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) question, which is not archived, but automatically deleted:

Hello, User:GabrielF/ConspiracyNoticeboard is currently up for deletion.

My question:

I am wondering what the precedence is on deleting userpages which encourage others to comment a certain way in ~~AfDs~~ MfDs and on wikipolicy.

Wikipedia:Spam#Canvassing and Wikipedia:User page don't seem to address this particular issue.

I am simply asking what the AfD precedent is, by a third party. Thanks in advance. Best wishes, Travb (talk) 02:18, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a minot point, user pages belong on MfD, not AFD. I've never participated regularly in MfD. However, in the one instance I recollect where a similar page was talked about, we decided that a similar page was better placed as a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting - an example would be Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Australia. In the case that I'm thinking of, the user page that was superceded has not been deleted or even nominated for deletion. There is plenty of discussion at the MfD page, and you are better off reading all of that (plus the prior MfD for the same page) than looking for additional opinions here.

Ultimatlely, precedent is not binding. If there is a sufficient volume of similar precedent, we may eventually record it as an essay or guideline. I am not aware of any such volume of precedent in this area - but I am not an MfD regular. GRBerry 18:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you recall the userpage name?

I think a comprimise of placing User:GabrielF/ConspiracyNoticeboard on a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting would be great.

I have actually brought up this suggest here: User:GabrielF/ConspiracyNoticeboard#comp
