When the entire wiki was copied over from Wikia to here, every single namespace was moved, including user pages. This means that there are a ton of user pages on the wiki for users who don't have accounts here. I vote we delete them. Talk pages are different, as they usually pertain to edits the user has made, edits which were carried over in the move, so they would stay. I'm talking about pages like this. That's 10K that NIWA really doesn't need on their servers. 10K doesn't seem like much, but it'll add up across the wiki. Not sure how we'd go about doing it, I'm just throwing the idea out there.

- I'll say Slight Oppose. You had a long abscense but came back, so any of these users could do the same. And it'll cause red links in some places that would've been blue before. Though I suppose it shouldn't matter too much if they were deleted, so only a slight oppose. ToastUltimatum
