::: This is the first page I made and really the one I care least about. I am fine with deletion. The info I put there was from him and his webpage. Maybe we can just link to his own biography here http://scorevoting.net/WarrenSmithPages/homepage/myresume.html This would be a good policy in general. Most people have a page of their own with a biography --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 19:39, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
:::: [[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]], thank you for both telling me the source of Warren Smith's birthday (that's the sort of [[w:Personally Identifiable Information|PII]] that can get webmasters busted) and starting to establish the norm for redirects for users here who are notable electoral reformers in real life (i.e. your redirect from [[Keith Edmonds]] to your user page). Of course, if you're not actually [[Keith Edmonds]] but merely impersonating him/them, you are in so much trouble! <code>;-)</code>
:::: With that, I feel comfortable restoring the [[Warren Smith]] page, and creating [[:Category:Living people]] to add him to. I may take it on faith that [[Keith Edmonds]] also belongs in that category. I may also create a [[Rob Lanphier]] redirect, and add my page to that category. Where I think we can draw the line is users that want to remain anonymous. Adding your user page to that category implies that you no longer wish to remain anonymous, that you're putting your real name in the main namespace (not a pseudonym), and you're willing to prove to the site admins what your identity should someone ask you. Creating one of those redirects for a different editor who hasn't already identified themselves publicly should be considered a violation of policy.
:::: I think I might draft up some policy around this, and do some other editing. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 00:51, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
