User talk:Collins1990/Collins

This is the (now deleted) text from Talk:Jamie Collins (b.1990). Nationalparks 01:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand there may be some confusion as to the content of this page.

I would like to point out that I am NOT the subject of the page, and therefore cannot include the page in my user info. The page was created because Jamie's fanbase requested a Wikipedia page. The page does not include any nonsense, as one user commented (making that persons comment nonsense!) and is entirely unbiased.

There is no reason to delete the page, as it contains no false or bias information, and there is nowhere else for the information to be placed.

Do not get the impression that I am making a page about myself, as one user seemed to believe. I am a member of NAGTY and MENSA and have better things to do with my time than create a page about myself! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Collins1990 (talk • contribs)

Then why is your username effectively the same as the name of the page? I agree that the info may not be false nor biased nor nonsense, but it is not notable. This is exactly what userpages are for. I have copied this info to your userpage. Nationalparks 00:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My username is Collins1990 because my name is Collin Searle and my son was born in 1990 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Collins1990 (talk • contribs)

If you are a serious wikipedian, I need to ask why you just blanked Vegaswikian's user page and if your not Jamie Collins why does your user page claim that you are? --Joe Jklin 00:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so then the info doesn't belong on your userpage, but it would only belong on Jamie's userpage, not in the mainspace of Wikipedia. (I moved the info from this page to the userpage, that's why it says that. But now that is gone.) Nationalparks 00:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You must understand, I am not in a position to place information on Jamie Collins' user page (if he has one) in the same way I am not allowed to place information on Michael Jackson's!

Just because you haven't heard of Jamie, it doesn't mean that the information is not relevant. How come other comedians and writers get pages but there can't be one for Jamie Collins? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Collins1990 (talk • contribs)

Michael Jackson (to use your example -- even though you are talking about userpages, and I'm talking about the mainspace) has thousands of links into his Wiki page, plus thousands of Google hits. Jamie Collins isn't notable in the Wikipedia sense. Therefore, there shouldn't be an article on him. Nationalparks 00:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the page is't offensive or wasteful, and I have demand for it, then why should it be deleted. You don't know if people have visited it yet! Also, as you don't live in the SE area of Great Britain, you probably will not have heard of Jamie Collins, which explains why you don't see it's importance. Also, there are thousands of links to MJ's main page because it was allowed! There win't be any links to a JC page if it keeps getting deleted! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Collins1990 (talk • contribs)

It's not notable... that's enough to delete it. It lists a bunch of friends, and video games he likes to play. What would you even link in? Nationalparks 01:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is the page was deleted without even being a chance to be completed. The Internet is a work in progress. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Collins1990 (talk • contribs)
