Fake article. Blatantly self-promotional beyond what is expected for users to say about themselves. User has made only one edit outside his user page, and that was to ask for autoconfirmed rights in order to add more of his work to his user page. Wikipedia is not LinkedIn, FaceBook, MySpace, or a Google profile. WP:User pages. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:05, 27 January 2013 (UTC) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:05, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A copy also exists at User:William Esdale/sandbox. And presumably also existed at the recently deleted William Esdale? A case could be made that this is a user draft, although writing autobiographies on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, and it looks like this one would not pass our notability guidelines. However, if this is a draft article, it should be in his sandbox only and clearly labelled with {{User sandbox}} to take it out of the search engines. The content of the actual user page under discussion here is completely inappropriate per WP:User pages and should be removed. Voceditenore (talk) 17:56, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's the same as the deleted article. I realised that after having opened this MfD - in fact I should have probably summarily speedied the user page. I suppose any other admin could do that now. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:31, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
