Draft:Dasith Gamage

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Dasith Gamage is now salted and Articles for deletion/Dasith Gamage(Musical artist) had a clear delete consensus. This article is written by a confirmed sockpuppet and part of a sock farm focused on promoting Gamage across Wikipedia. There is no chance of this article meeting our standards and it was created with intent to promote even though the language isn't promotional. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion and the article should be deleted as it was created as part of a vandalism/spam spree. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:07, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete from draft space and SALT in draft space . Add to WP:Title blacklist due to gaming of names.  Robert McClenon (talk) 16:32, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt in draft as per nom. --Whiteguru (talk) 19:32, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, but do not WP:SALT. Not suitable for blacklisting. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:07, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The recurring calls for SALTing that I see here and generally at MfD in recent times is at odds with policy, specifically WP:NO-PREEMPT.
 * Pre-emptive salting is contrary to the nature of Wikipedia. Is there a history or pattern of disruption going on here?  Even if "yes", the duration of the protection should be set as short as possible. SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:07, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete but don't salt. From an SPI perspective, it's easier to catch the new sox when we don't have to deal with each new draft being under a new title. Worse yet, it might encourage sox to dodge around the mainspace salting too. -- Tamzin  [cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:58, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Do Not Salt in draft space. The reasoning of User:Tamzin is persuasive that it is better to leave draft space as a tar pit so as to minimize gaming of names.  A draft that is create-protected in article space should encourage the reporting of sockpuppetry.  But the gaming of names remains a reason for title blacklisting.
