Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dbach

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete. Jamesday has deleted the sections that can only be handled by developers, and I've left a message for User:Dbach to find out if he has any others that need deletion. Joyous 23:05, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

User:Dbach
I need all older versions of my user page removed, since my full name appears on them. I - and other users as well - have been receiving molesting/threatening letters from a German anti-psychiatry organisation, an article on which I edited recently in the German Wikipedia.

 * Delete, of course, though I'm confused as to why it needs to be here. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 18:17, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Deletion of user pages are allowed under speedy delete rules. Consider it fixed. Bah, when I try to delete it, it says
 * Can't delete this article because it contains block-compressed revisions. This is a temporary situation which the developers are well aware of, and should be fixed within a month or two. Please mark the article for deletion and wait for a developer to fix our buggy software.
 * To get it deleted right away you will need to talk to a developer like User:Jamesday. Thue | talk 19:28, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm deleting all compressed revisions of this as a developer, assuming that there is actual harassment happening. The reason for inability to delete some articles is not buggy software: it's a mixture of two new features, selective undeletion and multiple revision compression for article history. The selective undeletion wasn't written to work with the new compression of article history, so to be safe deletion (and hence undeletion) was turned off until the necessary work to make it compatible had been done. We needed the compression without waiting for that work, as part of the continual race with growth. Jamesday 03:51, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * That's "deletion of things using the compression is turned off". Deletion of things that aren't still works. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 03:55, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * All of the compressed revisions (and all containing the full name) have been completely removed from the database. The most recent few revisions remain. If User:Dbach wants those gone any admin can take care of it (unless one happens to become more than a month old and be caught in a compression run, in which case I'll remove it on request).
