User:Jerry E. Smith[edit]

WP:NOTMEMORIAL - another user "memorialized" for doing nothing but editing their own article page. Someone also saw fit to lock the page, so the template can't be posted. MSJapan (talk) 01:17, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The user was a contributing Wikipedian. Wikipedians may have a userspace memorial. The page as is is appropriate for the level of contributions. Editing his own article is not so great a crime, we judged him notable, and he contributed to a notable topic, and did so without any deceit. He did nothing wrong, he contributed, his userpage is fine. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:14, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/Guidelines Thincat (talk) 19:48, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - that's my point - By default, constructively contributing Wikipedians should be honored with a listing at WP:RIP. Criteria for placement on the Deceased Wikipedian page has not been discussed, although by common sense listed users should have been active enough to be considered part of the community. Emphasis on the latter half. MSJapan (talk) 03:18, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't understand what is the issue? This Wikipedian didn't do any editing except their own page? I've never encountered these types of pages before? Steve Quinn (talk) 05:35, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He edited the page on a notable subject. He was connected, but disclosure was implied. If every subject of a Wikipedia biography were to register under their own name and make small edits, that would be a good thing. Many edits to their own biographies means a review of WP:COI advice is in order, but a few good edits, WP:IAR, is a good thing. There is no issue here. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:24, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets the appropriate guideline and serves the useful purpose of letting other editors know there's no point in trying to contact the user. Meters (talk) 21:45, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is an appropriate userpage for a deceased user. Contrary to the nom, the user did not edit only the article about himself. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:52, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
