Instead, perhaps what we should do is establish a rule that all pages in the User: namespace must be somehow related to the project and not contrary to its goals, and must, if necessary, explain how they are so; if not, they may and should be speedily deleted.
This doesn't mean you couldn't describe yourself on your user page. But if the page didn't include _any_ information actually relevant to the project, such as your contributions to Wikipedia, areas of interest, useful skills, etc., it would be unsuitable and speediable.
To me this is just one more bunch of rules to enforce. We have so far to go in presenting usable verifiable information from reputable source that getting after inappropriate user pages seems out of priority.
