  • Delete. No relevant content Epolk 07:21, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I've got no problem with articles that cover illegal activities, but we shouldn't be promoting them. --Xcali 07:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Wikipedia is not a free host or webspace provider". Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:41, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • Sorry, but anons are not allowed to vote. Please type ~ four times to sign.
      • Sorry, but anon are allowed to vote Wikipedia:Guide to Votes for deletion though I doubt this one would be counted. DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:35, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • IPs are allowed to vote, but not anons. This user did not sign his post, so it cannot be counted. ral315 23:57, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
          • I don't believe that forgetting to sign my vote is a reason to disallow it. However, this anonymous user has very few edits (only to User:Again and some warez articles), and is likely User:Again him/herself. - Mike Rosoft 14:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete But state why in his user talk, and ask not to make it again Sonic Mew 15:25, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep good stuff Chubby Chicken 15:34, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: This user, as stated elsewhere in vfd, has been voting "Keep" for an astronomical number of VFDs. ral315 23:58, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, for reasons stated by Sjakkalle. You 15:37, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC) Weak Keep as long as it is a vanity band article, Delete if it returns to advertising warez, etc. You 15:42, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: It is now a vanity band article. This is a User Page, so a bit of vanity is allowed, but it could change again. Sonic Mew 15:38, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. User:Again started this page as a warez advert so I presume that is what it is. DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:34, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Why has User:Chubby Chicken vandalised User:Again's page? [1] DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:34, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • He seems to have reverted it. Sonic Mew 16:36, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete promotion of illegal activities. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 18:49, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete User:Again and block User:Chubby Chicken for vandalism. -- BD2412 talk 19:16, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
  • Delete, user pages are meant to be related to Wikipedia activity, not for use as an advert, personal webpage, or anything similar. Average Earthman 21:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Inappropriate use of a user page. Delete band vanity; speedy delete advertisement for illegal software. - Mike Rosoft 02:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per above. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 03:44, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy, wikipedia is not a webhost. --Phroziac (talk) 04:21, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete advertising. The chickens have come home to roost for chubby. JamesBurns 04:41, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep user space Delete, user hasn't done much of anything else --SPUI (talk) 05:01, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Abuse of the userspace isn't a problem for VfD, which is about pages, but is a problem of user behavior, and we have procedures for dealing with troublesome actions of users, wherever those problematic edits occur. -- Seth Ilys 05:11, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Self-explanatory. ral315 23:57, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, advertisement, inappropriate user page -- Dpark 03:19, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, abuse of Wikipedia user namespace. Bratschetalk 5 pillars 03:21, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment, just as a side note, this "user" has made exactly one contribution (excluding user page modifications), changing a comma to a period on List of warez groups -- Dpark 03:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for all of above reasons. And I would say permanently block the user, who has clearly attempted to use Wikipedia for illegal purposes and has made NO contribution to this site. Postdlf 03:40, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete troublemaker. We already have enough of those who actually make contributions Nohat 06:20, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, should arguably be a speedy as promoting illegal activities is in itself illegal. Radiant_>|< 14:32, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete WP is not a free web host. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:22, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete. Not only are we not a web host, this is VERY illegal. Oh sure, they've cracked XP and Office 2003, yeah that's bad enough already... but they're "selling warez for a living"?!? That's some deep **** they're in, and I wouldn't want WP to in any way be percieved as aiding or abetting software pirates in the organisation and reconnaisance of their work. That, and the fact that some wronged company could find this page and misunderstand the nature of WP and send us a nasty letter. We have a policy clause about illegal uses, right? If not we should organise one so things like this can be "shot on sight" in future. Master Thief GarrettTalk 10:55, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • In the discussion about speedy deletion criteria it has been mentioned that illegal contents do already get deleted on sight. I am marking the page for speedy deletion. - Mike Rosoft 07:25, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Ah, thank you, I knew I'd seen it somewhere. However I was unable to to find it on the "what you can and can't use your User page for" list. Maybe we should add it there too? Master Thief GarrettTalk 07:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
