User:Fay Freak marked this page for speedy deletion. I can't imagine why. There are red links.
In addition, I would not even have known of the speedy had not it been brought to my attention by another user because I never thought it was necessary to put my user pages on my watchlist. I thought it was bad form to delete user pages of active users. We rarely even delete such pages created by users known to be deceased. DCDuring (talk) 03:07, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep: yes, I don't think it's in good form to nominate user pages or subpages for deletion unless it's a self-nomination by the user or there is some objectionable content (e.g., spam, vandalism, content that attacks other people, and inappropriate personal information). — SGconlaw (talk) 11:20, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep even if they were all created, bluelink lists are still useful for categorization and to keep a record of. i think really userpages should only be deleted by a non-involved party in cases of clear WMF policy violation like commercial spam or copyvios, which this isn't. --Habst (talk) 05:17, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep if DC wants it. Apart from any question of page ownership, the fact that a to-do list has been completed isn't automatically a reason to delete it (as suggested by the fact that completed list entries were being "struck out" with a line and not erased entirely).

- I created the last entry fontanus. risibiis is nothing, the rest is created. The struck terms on top have translingual definitions near them that are not created, but they did not seem to be the purpose of the page. If you want to keep it, @DCDuring, you can of course. It just seemed to me as a page that is forgotten, you having other lists, and that you would not perform any action based on this list. It had 0 page views, to note. Would you have ever found your way to this page again, instead of working from elsewhere?
- “Bluelink lists are still useful for categorization and to keep a record of?” – to record that some page was on a list? Why? What information is that? Such pages have the inherent purpose of being worked through and then deleted. Of course pages need to have a Wiktionary-related purpose to stay on Wiktionary. And this one seemed to have fulfilled it. But I am repeating myself. DCDuring might of course see a magical hypothetical use that I could never see, like Habst.

- I don't get it. There are still 12 redlinks on the page. Why delete? DCDuring (talk) 23:10, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Why is this even a debate? This is a user page. I thought it was common practice to leave these alone. (I went to look in WT:USER to find a line where it actually stated to leave other people's user pages alone, and I was going to cite it here, but to my surprise I didn't seem to find that line. Weird. Isn't that something we should add there?) PseudoSkull (talk) 23:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Speedily kept. — SGconlaw (talk) 17:11, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
