Page was created by community-banned editor ABQStyle aka PoliticianTexas in defiance of his ban. See Banning_policy, which allows such pages to be speedily deleted under CSD G5. Speedy deletion was proposed and was declined. -- Uncia (talk) 17:39, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I declined speedy deletion because there was nothing to indicate anything improper about this particular contribution. The policy page linked above says "This does not mean that obviously helpful edits (such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism) must be reverted just because they were made by a banned user[.]" Although the contributor in this case was banned for massive copyright infringement, this particular page uses an image from Commons that was contributed by a well-established user there, so there is no reason to be concerned about the copyright of this page.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:49, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You should have speedied per WP:DENY, IMHO. Allowing any of that twit's edits to stand just encourages him to come back and make more. → ROUX   ₪  18:39, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This particular edit appears to have no relation to an attempt to get either "recognition [or] infamy," as per WP:DENY. The comment "that twit," regardless of the character of the editor in question, lacks civility.  Perhaps say, "due to the previously established character of this editor, we cannot afford to show him on any occasion that edits by him are acceptable," or something of the like.  No matter how verbose you have to be in avoiding incivility, take that time. 66.183.69.201 (talk) 02:13, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
