Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Sarsaparilla's stuff

 * Note: I deleted most of the pages. Even if Sarsaparilla is banned, there's no reason CSD G7 wouldn't apply to these pages.  The three I kept include the Laissez-Faire article, which Zenwhat edited, and the other two which I intend to edit myself.  Mango juice talk 20:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Miscellany for deletion/Sarsaparilla's stuff
Hello, I am Sarsaparilla, returning to dispose of my stuff, hopefully in an orderly fashion. There are two types of stuff I am getting rid of. First, there is stuff in my userspace that should be a straightforward deletion under userspace deletion criterion #1. (For those Wikipedians who sought to remove me from this project, just consider this to be my way of admitting that "U1.")

The second type of stuff I am getting rid of is Wikipedia namespace essays that I created. I have generally been wont to update and revise them over time. However, being banned, I have no way to do that while they are on Wikipedia. Accordingly, I have transwikied them to userspace on meta (mostly to subpages of m:User:Qq.) Virtually all of these had no major edits by persons other than myself, so this should be pretty straightforward. The sole exception is WP:LF, which Zenwhat made some contributions to, in opposition to the concept. Nonetheless, WP:LF never became as coherent and practically applicable to Wikipedia as I might have liked, and therefore I think it is just as well to move it elsewhere for reworking.

Many of you viewed my essays as trolling anyway (see, for instance, this edit) so hopefully you will sign on to this decision.

This is Sarsaparilla's going-out-of-business sale for one week only! Everything must go. I will not be undersold.

 * Keep userspace stuff and userfy the rest - Criticism shouldn't be squelched, and a ban doesn't need to mean everything you did while you were here is destroyed. Bans are preventative -- deleting stuff doesn't prevent anything, unless the content is against policy somehow. This stuff isn't, presumably.  Equazcion •✗/C • 22:01, 26 Mar 2008 (UTC)
 * Again, you must not have paid much attention to what I wrote. The purpose is so that I can easily edit it, which I can't do here. And given the lack of participation by others, its quality will not improve much if it just stays here stagnant. Meta is a better home for it. It's a friendlier place anyway. 129.174.90.121 (talk) 22:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This tme you're right. I thought someone was just trying to get rid of all your stuff. In that case I'm neutral. Though I do think meta should be contacted to let them know that they've got a new user who was banned on Wikipedia.  Equazcion •✗/C • 22:17, 26 Mar 2008 (UTC)
 * Contact away! Although it's highly unlikely I'll get into trouble there. (What is there to get in trouble about?) 129.174.90.122 (talk) 23:05, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * This should be closed as a contribution by a user evading a block.  MBisanz  talk 22:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What about my Right to leave? If I only get two rights (the right to fork and the right to leave), I'm going to make sure to exercise them. Although I don't think the content in these essays should be forked; it would be better just to straight-up transwiki it. Why have multiple versions of the same stuff out there? I'm already making expansions to the meta version of WP:PARL. 129.174.90.122 (talk) 23:05, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think rights are only afforded to those who are not banned. For instance I don't think a banned user could implement RTV.  Equazcion •✗/C • 23:22, 26 Mar 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, you are correct. I can't completely vanish. But, U1 doesn't say anything about not applying to banned users. And if my essays that are currently in the Wikipedia namespace are userfied, then I can immediately proceed with U1 on all of them, presumably. 129.174.91.121 (talk) 23:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No policy says it doesn't apply to banned users, yet many still don't, via common sense. You can't proceed with anything just because a policy affords active users a right -- again because you're banned. But I imagine these will still get deleted for reasons other than the fact that you request it.  Equazcion •✗/C • 23:41, 26 Mar 2008 (UTC)
