User:BricksFromEurope/Corny Medieval Costume
I originally speedy tagged this as an attack page, it was contested with the argument that the subject had goaded the author to do it. Wanting to AGF, particularly with children, I changed the speedy tag to db-bio and offered to "userfy" the page, not realizing I could not move a page over an existing one (I've never tried to before, for obvious reasons.) As a result of that compromise, I created this page. Author then went on a vandal spree and got blocked for one month. Delete, as nonsense, unsuitable for any wikipedia space. I'd db-author it, but I'm not sure I can. Dina 01:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I suggest re-tagging as attack for speedy. This shouldn't wait 5 days. Newyorkbrad 01:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've tagged this twice, and removed tags twice. I feel a bit stupid about it all, and would prefer someone else do it. If you will, I'll close the Mfd! ;) Dina 01:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll tag it tomorrow unless anyone comes up with a counterargument in the meantime. Newyorkbrad 01:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, but it's not really an attack page. Who is being attacked? -Amarkov blahedits 01:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Very possibly, the person in the picture. It could be all in fun, but it could also be a high-schoolish student who had to wear that costume for some school reason, and is now being teased about it over the Internet, giving his real name. "If you wear this costume you may be teased and/or bullied" - exactly, I fear. Newyorkbrad 01:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you're probably right, though I was not sure originally. However, subsequent edits seem to demonstrate that too much good faith is probably foolish in this case. Dina 01:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Rather than prod for a third time, which is disfavored (especially with the creator blocked), I think I'll post this to ANI and see what an admin there thinks. Newyorkbrad 01:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * speedy speedy speedy -- I somehow didn't see this on my talk page when I agreed to userfy . (image is gone, see image name) *sigh* Dina 02:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, that sort of resolves any lingering doubt, I've posted to ANI so hopefully someone will be by soon. Newyorkbrad 02:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I tagged it as well, in spite of my reservations about being a flip-flopper. Thanks for your help. Dina 02:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Why was it just not proded? Prodego  talk  02:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Because prod is only for articles... I need to think about these things first.... Anyway this page is not really an attack, but it might as well be deleted under WP:IAR.. Prodego  talk  02:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
