The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
User:Gregaga (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

User:NE Ent non-admin closed the MFD stating there was no attempt to resolve this with the editor. As stated in the nomination, this was not the first time this editor has misused user space a a web host. His sandbox was previously deleted for this same reason. He had an alternate account which he used for the same purpose. I asked NE Ent to reconsider, and he declined. At the time of close, there was one other editor providing a delete opinion. I am requesting the NAC be overturned and the MFD left to run its course. Whpq (talk) 00:37, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Gregaga; as I said on my talk page: Long ago the individual was a contributor, and in the past they were assisted in keeping the page by an admin, so it doesn't really hurt anything to attempt to resolve the issue with the least amount of intervention, which is simply blanking the page and leaving them a note. Hopefully by suggesting the alternate of wikia.com they'll find a non-disruptive way to pursue their interest, and by leaving the content accessible in the edit history they can copy the content without having to have pester an admin to email it to them or temporarily restore the page. I've got the page watchlisted and if they restore the content we can take more assertive measures then. If that doesn't work for you, DRV reviewer, a full MFD would be bureaucratic overkill; just speedy the page. NE Ent 00:51, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That assistance was in 2009. Since 2009, he has repeatedly used Wikipedia as a web host for fantasy reality games. It is also not eligible for deletion under any of the existing speedy deletion criteria. -- Whpq (talk) 00:55, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
