User blog:Acebatonfan/RANT: This is not rocket science

Warning
'''The following is a rant based on my opinions on NCU pages. Please do not start a fight with me if you do not agree with what I am saying! A tutorial will be posted on the bottom about putting a page under your userpage domain.'''

The Rant
The past few weeks, I noticed that NCU pages have become more of an issue within the wiki. Even though it feels like the rules tab is flashing in bright neon lights and screaming at users to at least browse through it, I continue to notice one of more  users every day blatantly creating NCU pages. Instead of going through the wiki to make more quality edits, the delete tool became my best friend as I have to fish through the recent activity page and put an NCU page up for deletion before it becomes lost in a sea of pages.

My main question to these people is: how hard is it to actually read the rules and (a) put the NCU page in your user domain, (b) put the page right on your userpage if it is about yourself or (c) not create the page? I do not like going through the wiki activity and seeing poorly-written NCU pages that might have, at most, 100 words in them (or only a picture) and then getting yelled at if I were to put the page up for deletion.

Whenever that happens, it strikes a nerve with me. I do not want to have to patrol a NCU page for hours, because a user just cannot deal with the fact that their page is a candidate for deletion. These people will make an additional edit to delete the deletion template (or, if they understand how the wiki works, go into edit history and undo my edit) and act like nothing happened. I go back and add the template back to the page, and the war continues until an admin deletes the page.

I admit, when I am feeling nice, and the page is nicely-written, I might move the page to the user domain, but I still am going to make almost every NCU page a candidate for deletion. It is like school in a way; if someone does not put in the effort to study (or read the rules) and epicly bombs a test, I am not going to pity the person and let them make test corrections (or leave the page on the mainspace or move it to a userspace).

Honestly, I am sick and tired of people not reading (or caring) about the rules, and then they get mad at me when their pages are deleted. Coming from a professional standpoint, nobody will want to read the wiki if every other page is about some user with 100 place visits or a group with 10 members, and these users need to understand that they are not going to get an exception to the NCU rule and will have their pages deleted if they make an NCU page. It is also extremely immature when users then go on a vandalizing spree, because they are angry about their deletion; just take the deletion as a learning experience and read the rules.

Yes, there are some exceptions to the NCU rule, like XiaoXiaoMan and VAK, but they follow a decent rule of thumb. If I were to ask a handful of average ROBLOX players if they know that person or group, and they can say "yes", then it can be assumed that those items can be considered celebrities and can have a mainspace page.

End of rant.

Putting a page under a user domain
As talked about during my rant, NCU pages can be considered to be allowed if they are placed under a user's user domain. A page like this will follow the formula of:

User:(Username)/(NCU page)

For example, let's say that I wanted to create a page about M Inc, an older war clan. It only has 1,000 members, so I cannot put it under a mainspace page. When I go to create its page, I am not going to name it "M Inc", as this will put it in the mainspace. Instead, I am going to name it:

User:Acebatonfan/M Inc

This automatically puts it in the userpage domain and will not be considered an NCU page.
