User:Donald Trung/The blanking of banned user pages is unnecessary vandalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Compare the before and after, this person went from an established good Wikipedia editor to literally only the block, how does this benefit the project? What impression does it give those that just stumble upon the page?

In fact when the actual deletion of a page was proposed it was overwhelmingly rejected. Page blanking simply doesn't benefit the project in any way, if a user page can be considered to go against policies it's usually deleted, and often a user keeps a collection of barnstars and created/planned articles on their user page and WikiProjects they're members of, so how would blanking a user page because of an indefinite block/ban benefit anyone? The templates already "no_index" the pages so search engines like Microsoft Bing and Google can't find them so keeping a user page intact and only adding the template on top doesn't hamper this. So what benefit to the project do page blankings like this have? Imagine if the only thing a user's user page is is a collection of articles they've started or articles that became FA, what would anyone reading it benefit from it? It's almost deliberately trying to prevent people from discovering more articles.
