Thread:User talk:Jasper Deng/How is having a user page grounds for deletion?

I am very serious: I was furious when I saw that deletion. This is everything wrong with Wikipedia culture. How can it possibly ever be a good idea to delete a page that exists only to validate a user's existence and contribution? It is almost incidental that Dan is an employee of WMF and on my team -- no matter what he should have been welcomed into the community as a potential contributor and showered with encouragement. If he was a nobody and saw that response, I would not blame him for leaving your a profanity-laden comment and simply never coming back to the community. Is that what we want?
