"Not very useful" is a slightly rude comment to make, in my opinion. You specifically and intentionally created local user pages on various Wikipedias. I imagine you and others would be rightfully upset if someone came along and simply overwrote your local user pages with a global user page without your knowledge or consent. >Can we get a special bot task in meta to request userpage deletion in >batches? There's discussion on Meta-Wiki about Synchbot deleting local user pages on a per-user, opt-in basis. I'm personally of the view that users seeking to un-spam the dozens or hundreds of wikis where they have created a local user page and done nothing more ought to clean up the "mess" themselves. Instead of deletion, blanking the user page might be a neat way of triggering the global user page to re-appear (a version of pure wiki deletion). Though, of course, some users might want a 0-byte user page.
