User:Eep²

Except for a brief comment and a weblink at the top, this page is a copy of deleted material from EEP, see this diff . This violates WP:User Page policy While userpages and subpages can be used as a development ground for generating new content, this space is not intended to indefinitely archive your preferred version of disputed or previously deleted content.

Try again. That page still links to Misplaced Pages:User page, which is still a GUIDELINE. My user page is a way to show that my name can mean many things by many people (which I imply on the page with this statement: "Note: Eep is different things and, hence, its link should not be changed in such a way as to limit it to being only an expression, sound, acronym, or anything else." It's this diversity that reflects my interest in topics (see my contributions for evidence of this). Plenty of user pages have silly infoboxes all over them describing various aspects of the user--my page is no different except I take a more "Wikipedian article" approach to it. So what? Get over it. -Eep² 04:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
The issue is that you quite clearly state that you are keeping the information on your userpage so that you don't have to abide by AfD consensus. You are not allowed to do that. Oh, and calling everybody who wants to delete a page you created "wikivultures" does not at all help your case. -Amarkov moo! 04:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
It should also be noted that a policy page linking to guidelines does not make it any less a policy. --Coredesat 01:47, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Ah, yes, "majority rule", eh? Misplaced Pages is a consensorship (consensus + censorship), eh? Typical dictatorial mentality--only by the masses instead of a single person (or a select few). That's rich... -Eep² 11:57, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
