Users here complain about the cruft being every pokeman card having its own page, but there's a lot of nonencylopediac cruft on Wikipedia, and things like this deleted page are a major part of it, imo. There are users who join to create cruft like this, and don't user page also show up in search engine results? I think Wikipedia is overly lax on crap pages created by users, what encyclopediac purpose do pages of this sort serve? They really weren't even that funny, and there's never been an original one.

Community building. I remember after [[Wikipedia:Esperanza]] got deleted, I almost left Wikipedia. It's the stuff that keeps some people coming back and contributing. After all, it is a volunteer organization.
(Actually, Esperanza was the reason I really got started on Wikipedia, but that's another story.) ~~~~
