 * Delete I don't see Doug listed at WP:LOBU, but since he is no longer active on Wikipedia there is not much point in keeping this essay. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Changing input to Keep, as per Graham87's cogent observation. Pastor Theo (talk) 10:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Valid essay, nothing offensive, refers to an unresolved continuing issue (the difficulty/lack of recognised process for de-admining).  Relevant to the users past contributions, which remain part of the project, even if the user is and remains indef blocked.  The referenced page does not look to me like consensus for a permanent ban.  Consider adding a tag reflecting the current standing of the user.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:50, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST" in red, perhaps? :) Gigs (talk) 03:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep We do not excise people from photos the way the old Soviet Encyclopedia did, I trust. Collect (talk) 10:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Reconsider, I nominated this because the corresponding talk page was deleted U1 |author requests deletion. But if everyone feels that it should remain on WP I will change my opinion to Neutral. meshach (talk) 01:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe you can do a non-admin closure if you are inclined to do so. Gigs (talk) 03:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I read this essay after he was banned, coming in to it from an RfA... so yeah, we should keep it. Gigs (talk) 03:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
