I have closed/deleted this as per the user's consent --Improv 21:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't conform to What a user page is not. It should be moved to a personal webpage, or off the site. Specifically, "Games, roleplaying sessions, and other things pertaining to "entertainment" rather than writing an encyclopedia." Shrieking Harpy Talk|Count 21:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Moreschi 21:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per What a user page is not. Elaborate but pointless game that may entertain a few users in ways that don't help anyone improve Wikipedia. Barno 21:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete should be somewhere else. Good way to make "friends", who do go on to help each other with wikipedia-related subjects, but shouldn't be in userspace. I'm going to move it off wikipedia. — Editor at Large(speak) 00:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move Move it into a new wika dedicated to this sort of thing. New wikas are free, right? Mindofzoo999 00:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I was thinking of a Peanut Butter Wiki. I have a few already, they're easy to use and have unlimited pages (unlike some free sites). I already requested one, I'm just waiting for the confirmation e-mail. — Editor at Large(speak) 01:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Would you have room for all the other game-playing pages currently up for deletion? Carcharoth 01:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea, Carcharoth. I suppose it would need to... Has anyone thought of a name yet? Mindofzoo999 01:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Room on the pbwiki? I'll just create another one. BTW, WikiPlomacy wiki is up at http://www.wikiplomacy.pbwiki.com. No info has been added yet, however! I'll request another at http://www.coffeeloungegames.pbwiki.com. — Editor at Large(speak) 01:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Who the ... Who made that? Mindofzoo999 01:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Umm... me. Why? I'm not in trouble, am I? — Editor at Large(speak) 01:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. You very much are (pulls out a sawn-off shotgun and fires into the air). No, I was just wanting to know if it was someone who was related to the current WikiPlomacy. It's ok... don't cry... BUT WHY USE PBWIKI??? (fires in Editor at large's general direction).Mindofzoo999 01:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, that was just me being silly. Mindofzoo999 01:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
*calls in the sherriff* </silliness> I used PBwiki because I'm familiar with it. I've got more than 8 wikis there... if you a better place, by all means, use it! I don't mind at all. And yes, I am involved with the current WikiPlomacy. Interesting story behind that ... — Editor at Large(speak) 01:57, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
HA HA HA HA (kills sherriff)! I see you did it, though. Well done! No, Mr. FBI, I won't come quiety (kills FBI officer) Mindofzoo999 02:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Man in Black gets up off floor, puts dark glasses on, and <FOOM>... Carcharoth 02:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(reset tabing)

TAKE IT OFF PB WIKI PPLLEEAASSEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT ISN'T AS GOOD AS WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE! PLEASE!!!! AND I'TS NEW TO ME!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!!!! (Breaks down into tears) Mindofzoo999 06:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wait! MOVE TO ENZPAZ... O.k, maybe I can't spell it. But look at theWikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion and go down further to the chess thing and read it all. That word crops up at least once! And then we don't have to worry about learning another wiki's lauguage/code (I mean, this code is simple, and obviously perfect). Mindofzoo999 06:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hold until moved to another wiki --Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:27, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No offence meant, but we would do that anyway. Mindofzoo999 01:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
None taken =) Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Gooood... Mindofzoo999 01:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to another wiki. WikiPlomacy is an entertaining concept, but it needs to exist where the bandwidth is meant to be spent on that. --Friendly PorpoiseJoin the pod! 02:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since I nominated it, I have no problem with a hold until you find out where you want it to go even if that takes a month or more. --Shrieking Harpy Talk|Count 04:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Everyone is brandishing policies that say things about how WP is not a social networking site, but who will write the encyclopedia if everyone's been scared off by draconian policies? if there is no community, then there is no encyclopedia. See WP:IGNORE. AlethiophileAsk me why 03:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Um, Aleth? You have read WP:IGNORE haven't you? I REALLY don't think Wikiplomacy is 'neccessary to run Wikipedia' or that it's deletion will scare off anyone. At best this is hyperbole, at worst it feels like a touch of ownership. Wikipedia is NOT a social networking site, no matter how much you think it should be or how much better Wikipedia would be if it were or whatever. Them's the rules. --Shrieking Harpy Talk|Count 04:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and move to another site. Unlike a lot of creators, I'm not gonna cling to this like a dying man to a rock. I'm all for moving this to another wiki, though I'm relying entirely on other people for the technical side of it. You'll also want to know there are a load of user subpages, some my own, some not, that need to be deleted alongside this, but I please ask you to refrain from doing this until it's all up at this PBwiki thing. My humble apologies for this incident. DoomsDay349 Happy Halloween! 05:02, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hang on, could we move the wiki to another host that uses the same stuff as Wikimedia? Like, maybe, SIGNATURES? (pulls out sawn-off shot gun, realises that that was a while ago, and puts it back) Mindofzoo999 06:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepWe must keep this!!!! I am confused, why get rid of it? Does it really affect you? Why is our having fun some kind of mega insult to you? I think that you should be doing some real vandal fighting. ed page reverting. Not worrying about the goings on of a group of game loving users. Culverin? Talk 09:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The problem is simple. The rules about what is and is not allowed on user pages are pretty clear cut, and this violates them. If a violation is allowed to continue because it's 'fun' and 'not harming anyone' then you start having other violations. At some point, rules become powerless due to non-enforcement. This game does not contribute to Wikipedia and thus should not be here. Until someone gives me a reason inline with policy for this to stay, or one that does not twist WP:IGNORE into a pretzel, I (and many others, it appears) say delete and move to another site. Sorry. --Shrieking Harpy Talk|Count 13:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Alright, everything is up at the PBWIKI. Bring on the Bulldozers! DoomsDay349 20:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
