Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the debate was Keep. As outlined in this section, usage of your main userpage is an acceptable substitute for a sandbox. If it wasn't this users intention, then someone can show him/her how to do this. Furthermore, it should have been mentioned before the MfD and not during. I'd also recomend that someone should mention COI to him as well. Synergy 15:31, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Rationale The user namespace is not the place where articles should be tested before creation. In addition, the so-called "references" listed seem to only promote companies and don't mention a "Mr. Quick" in any of the pages. If he wants a Sandbox, we can help him with that. ←Signed:→Mr. E.

- Keep - this is no reason to delete a page, instead talk to the user and make your suggestion of a sandbox and show how to, or help move the page. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - Uh, the user namespace is precisely where articles should be tested and is where all personal sandboxes reside. This may be a vanity/advertising page, I didn't look carefully; but there is certainly no rule against drafting pages on a top level user space page rather than a subpage.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 23:00, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - I meant the top-level user space when I said "user namespace". Sorry. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez Get to know me! / Talk to me!←at≈:→ 23:52, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- Some people use their main userpage as a sandbox. I guess you could be bold and move it to a /sandbox subpage, since the user probably didn't know how and might not mind it. -- Ned Scott 03:57, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- move to sandbox - Simply ask an admin to delete the userpage when you are done. --Lord₪Sunday 15:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
