: A page only containing a single link/eMail was always removed in the 
: past because it is spam (and to me it *is* spam, sorry)

user pages have been removed in the past when they were posted by bots 
that included spam links (either in that user's page or in other pages 
edited at the same time) -- there is no evidence of this in this case.

: It's still not useful to the Wiki, sorry! If it would be like in 
: Mediawiki in a separate Namespace (User:Uwe Schindler), OK but next to 
: useful documentation - no chance.

The MoinMoin convention for user pages doesn't work that way.  The 
*template* for user pages (which comes up automaticly if you click on your 
own username) encourages users to create pages like this and inlude your 
email address.

There are many other existing user pages...

...singling out this particular user as a spammer just because you aren't 
personally familiar with them and weren't previously aware of this 
user page feature of MoinMoin is not fair to them -- they have not posted 
anything that remotely appears as spam.

If you want to start a discussion about changing the settings & defaults 
in our MoinMoin wikis to stop it from encouraging users to create personal 
pages like this, you should be do that in a seperate thread after 
consulting #infra to see what is/isn't even possible.
