One is a vandalpage created by a well-known LTA and the other seems like an attempt to spoof the mediawiki interface. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  00:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)


 * 1. Delete vandalism page, we're an encyclopedia writing community. "Fun" pages need to suit that goal. Pages that encourage vandalism tend to encourage a perception that Wikipedia is a place for WP:GAMES or that vandalism is tolerated as fun. Both are counterproductive to the project. 2. Spoof page image now listed at Files for deletion 2010 October 1 as the simulation is in an image, the page/userbox merely contains that image. FT2 (Talk 11:25, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Pages that encourage and condone vandalism should be deleted per WP:NOTWEBHOST and User pages (permanent link). Vandalism pages damage Wikipedia's reputation; from Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:King of Hearts/Notepad/Vandalism on Wheels!: "an IP, while removing vandalism [on User:King of Hearts/Notepad/Vandalism on Wheels!], wrote in an edit summary, "Removed NPOV spam, obsessively promoting TROLL as vandalism as opposed to spam, comedy, etc. Are you a wikipedia administrator?" The potential for BLP violations on such a page is great. In Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Blood reaper/Vandalism page, the page had homophobic slurs and copyrighted content that had remained there for months if not years. There is no need to let pages that allow gratuitously offensive content to remain on Wikipedia. Because vandalism pages are rarely, if ever, maintained by their creators, they should be deleted to prevent libelous content buried beneath pages of vandalism from remaining there. Vandalboxes waste the time of vandal patrollers who must read the page's rules to see if the vandalism should be reverted. This time could be better spent reverting actual vandalism in Wikipedia articles. The page does not help prevent vandalism because vandals are going to vandalize the mainspace or the user's userpage regardless of pages such as this. Vandals/trolls derive more pleasure in vandalizing pages in the mainspace when such actions are forbidden. Permitting such pages to remain on Wikipedia fosters the attitude that vandalism is acceptable on Wikipedia. I believe that that is unacceptable. Cunard (talk) 08:26, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
