[WikiEN-l] User Pages

Thu Sep 15 11:43:22 UTC 2005

Referring to this user page - User:Matt von Furrie; is his statement at the top of the page allowed on Wikipedia?  I thought all content was supposed to be at a minimum GDFL which includes user spaces?

New guy here, do not flame me too bad ;)

Well, we lose the bits of information they do contain, and remember:
every article started out as a stub.

The flip side is: what do we gain by deleting them? Nothing, I contend.
