 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it.

The result of the debate was Delete - User is inactive and the working copy has become very stale, if the user returns and wants this version restored for some reason (or no reason at all) any admin may do so without any formalities but it should be tagged as a userpage and noindexed. If this were useful to others, especially if it were a draft of a new article, deletion would not be beneficial; but there is potential for harm from stale versions and this appears to have been treated like an article by various editors and bots who have taken the time to remove links to deleted images and post warnings.

User:Bacchiad/Anarchism
Sandboxed content fork of a 2007 version of the anarchism article. Per convention, userspace forks of articles are fine as long as they are not POV-forks and are works in progress rather than permanent personal versions of articles. The host, is an editor in good standing but inactive for nearly a year. Although relatively placid for the past year, the anarchism article has historically been one of the most drama-prone in the encyclopedia (cf. Special:MostRevisions, Requests for arbitration/Infinity0, Articles for deletion/Anarchism (theory), Requests_for_comment/Hogeye, Articles for deletion/Anarchism vs. anarcho-capitalism and especially Articles for deletion/Anarchism (anti-state) and Anarchism (socialist)). In this light, I think it would be best to quietly turn this bluelink red. the skomorokh 21:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Very weak delete per Skomorokh, but I am a tad concerned what Bacchiad would think of us deleting something in his userspace without his knowledge were he to suddenly return. Perhaps he would intend upon using that subpage for editing to improve the article himself (as I occasionally do). Nevertheless, it's not like it can't be recreated for future use if he does return, and he might not even.  Master&amp;  Expert ( Talk ) 21:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, he hasn't edited or responded to comments on his talkpage in quite a while (perhaps he is contactable via email?). It would be quite difficult to use this sandbox version to improve the anarchism article, as that article has changed (dare I say improved) quite significantly in the past year. I'm sure no-one will object to restoring the sandbox if Bacchiad returns with an intention to work on it again. the skomorokh  21:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Pretty much what I had in mind. :) He doesn't appear to have e-mail enabled, so it'd be a tricky endeavor to gain contact with him.  Master&amp;  Expert ( Talk ) 22:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: per Skomorokh.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 20:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Doing no harm and not POV forking. We have no ESP, so we do not know what intent he has - perhaps as material for another article of some sort? We can not assume he intends it as a base for trying to move the main article via time machine.  Collect (talk) 15:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
