User pages aren't for biographies. We are not Facebook. Doug Weller talk 15:17, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

- Keep I do not find this userpage to be out of the ordinary. This is someone who has made 1000+ edits in 2 years and who seems like a Wiki contributor in good standing. My estimate is that 50% of the page relates to their wiki interests and the rest is the kind of educational, subject matter interest, and personal context which many diversity projects encourage people to share in Wikimedia profiles. Wikipedia:User pages is the relevant guideline and I see nothing which restricts anything in this profile. In English Wikipedia when there is no rule against something then we presume that the activity is allowed. I do not see a rationale for deletion in the nomination on which basis there can be a deletion. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:53, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Because I removed a misplaced admin topicon from that page and somewhat feel involved (discussion) I'll only comment. I assume that the nomination rationale is WP:NOTWEBHOST (and CSD WP:U5 may apply). Because of the presence of external links to other web pages or profiles. On the other hand, if the editor is active and notices this, they could also improve the page. —PaleoNeonate – 17:53, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry. I should have been more specific. You're absolutely right. @Bluerasberry:, how about WP:USERBIO? I'd say that applies. Doug Weller talk 18:06, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Maybe WP:VERIFY as I'd really like evidence that I agreed to make him a CheckUser, being I've been on the Committee all the time he's been here. Doug Weller talk 18:12, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

- It seems that the trigger of this nomination is user claims that they are an WP:ADMIN and a WP:CHECKUSER. Were it not for these things I expect that this user profile would not have gotten attention.
- If I had to guess I would say that this user probably set up their page by copy/pasting another page. There is no evidence presented that this user attempted to impersonate an admin in any activities.
- I acknowledge that we should not allow people to identify themselves as admins if they are not. I also acknowledge that there is some limit of how much personal information a person should publish on their userpage. I agree with removing the admin claims. WP:USERBIO is not clear on the distinction between some user info versus too much user info. I would support anyone developing that rule to make a distinction. I am uncertain about applying that rule to this case when the rule is so underdeveloped and I do not see this case as clearly problematic. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:09, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep per Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Saddam Hossain Khan. The userpage in question here is much more distinctly a userpage and the user to whom it belongs is much more involved with constructive editing activities than the precedent cited. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 20:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep as a relatively unexceptional userpage for a user who has made constructive contributions. However, recommend that the user investigate recompense from the institution granting their English (Hons) degree, as the userpage indicates that the institution has not properly fulfilled its duty.

- Withdrawing nomination as the page is now changed enough, in part by the editor. I don't have time today to do with officially. Doug Weller talk 11:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
