Untouched, ancient userspace draft. WP:UP#COPIES. And for some reason it's an ancient copy of the main page from back when Featured Articles was still called Brilliant Prose. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 07:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, we don't delete user pages just because they're old. Graham87 11:48, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete stale copy. Gigs (talk) 15:36, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The page is not (1) content under development for article space or (2) excessive content unrelated to Wikipedia. At some point, editors can use the user space assigned to their user name how ever they choose, free from oversight by other editors, in part because user pages are part of a user's identity and in part because each editor has some freedom of choice within Wikipedia. Deleting old pages like this interferes with the freedom of choice users have over their user space and asserts a personal effect by other editors on the user's identity. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 14:36, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm a little on the fence on this one after reading your argument, but playing devil's advocate, isn't your argument equally applicable to most stale drafts? Gigs (talk) 13:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
