User:Bar-abban/Forward 50
Per WP:STALEDRAFT. The editor who saved this never actually worked on it, and turned out to be the sockpuppet of a banned editor, so it's unlikely any work will every be done on this. Jayjg (talk) 19:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Who saved this? Who is the sockpuppet and who is banned?  I see two significant authors in the history, and neither have their userpages marked sockpuppet or banned.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:20, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It was deleted at AfD, then, upon request by, undeleted by and moved into the Bar-abban's workspace. Jayjg (talk) 23:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the corresponding mainspace material may be a bigger concern. The AfD is here.  The close was not Jayjg's biggest call.  I was wondering why this wasn't a simple WP:CSD#G5.  It's a bit messy, but the activity seems to have all occurred during the person's ban.  I see that the banned editor, while banned, created this redirect, and in these edits, wrote essentially the same material into this article, here.  I'm not sure whether or not the material is OK.  Someone (a single edit IP) at least seems to think it dubious.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:49, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * If is a sockpuppet of a banned user, why is the account not blocked? Cunard (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:STALEDRAFT, which states: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion." Because this page violates WP:STALEDRAFT and WP:NOTWEBHOST, it should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. On the one hand, User:Bar-abban has never been blocked as far as I can tell, contrary to the notice on his user page, nor was he named in the sockpuppet investigation linked from his user page. On the other hand, I can't find the evidence that he requested that the page be userfied. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:49, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete on suspicion that this is the work of a banned editor. It can be undeleted if someone comes forward to claim otherwise.  Also note that it serves no purpose, being redundant to the separate additions in mainspace.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Where is the evidence that User:Bar-abban is a banned editor? I don't see any evidence that his being a sockpuppet of someone who was banned other than a bare allegation by User:Jayjg putting such a notice on his user page two minutes before nominating this page for MfD. If he really is a sockpuppet of a banned person, some evidence should be provided of that, and he should be blocked, but so far I have seen no evidence and he has not been blocked. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a good question for User:Jayjg. I assume he is trustworthy and knows what he is doing, but some explanation would be nice.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
