 * There seems to be reasonable agreeement that these userpages should go, and I'm confident in closing this early.

User:MascotGuy
This nomination includes:
 * Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of MascotGuy and its subpages
 * Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of MascotGuy and its subpages
 * Note: - The MfD DOESN'T include Long term abuse/MascotGuy, only his 1000+ sock accounts and categories.

We are NOT here to build shrines for vandals and MascotGuy has been trolling wikipedia since September 2004 and I believe its about time he was stopped. For nearly 4 years he has creating multiple sockpuppets and has also been known to update his own sock list, he has 838 known sockpuppets and another 172 suspected socks which comes to 1010 sock accounts since 2004 and probably a few others which I believe MascotGuy will promptly be adding to the list soon, and since this person only continues to make sock accounts everyday because admins and editors alike like to tag his sock accounts which is exactly what he wants, to create a sock farm and to garner fame of some sort. We can start by denying him recognition by firstly getting rid of his sock accounts and list though keeping and simplifying Long term abuse/MascotGuy for future references. Allowing someone to troll is the same as Feeding the troll and though I believe this will not get rid of him completely, its a start...-- Cometstyles 21:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think this serves as a useful reference for admins. According to Long term abuse/MascotGuy he/she is still active. According to my knowledge, we'd consider it for deletion at approximately one year after activity has stopped. &mdash; Maggot Syn 23:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ahh he has been around for nearly 4 years, he ain't going nowhere, its just silly to wait for him to stop than wait another year before we an actually get rid of him, he wants this..he will not stop and comments like this will just motivate him more. if what you said is part of policy than this is probably the best time to invoke WP:Ignore all rules because when it comes to vandals whose too motivated to be stopped, and revert, Ban and ignore doesn't work anymore, denying  is the only option .......-- Cometstyles 23:20, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * When did case files turn into zOMG this is a shrine. DENY, DENY? Lets just throw all of our evidence and case files away because we have better things to do. Honestly, why bother creating the reports if they're just going to be deleted half way through? And furthermore, deleting these won't stop the vandalism (and obviously neither will keeping them). Did this MfD stop Grawp? Cometstyles... how do you even know what he wants? Nothing I said was part of policy, but reflects the number of MfD's I've watched with respect to inactive vandal reports in contrast active reports. I'll only opt delete per the communities consensus, which I'm not convinced we have yet. I don't mind being wrong. And I don't mind reference cases for the inexperienced either. &mdash; Maggot Syn 23:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * regarding Grawp, well he used to make 10 accounts minimum per day an attack at odd hours before he was MfD, and since then his activity levels have fallen drastically and he is forced to ask his /b/ friends to create accounts for him, and if a person updates his own socklist, we know exactly what he wants, deny him that and he will leave..-- Cometstyles 23:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete the categories and the userpage. This has been a long day for me. As long as Long term abuse/MascotGuy is kept (the only thing I was arguing to be kept in the first place). &mdash; Maggot Syn 23:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Probably worth a try. We can always restore them if we find we need them but since he takes such an interest in these pages and creates socks just to them add them to the list himself, I think it's worth trying. Sarah 00:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Following the Grawp precedent. --MZMcBride (talk) 00:12, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yeah, MascotGuy creates lots of accounts. He's also not exactly subtle, so I don't see that we need anything past the LTA page. If he's editing to add himself to these pages, it's time to take away that incentive from him. — Gavia immer (talk) 14:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: The rules state not to feed the trolls. If this user is just going to stay and pester us on wiki, we don't need to waste time updating a page while he keeps on creating more socks. Per Cometstyles, the pages may appear to look like a shrine for the vandal, and that breaks the rules of "Don't feed the troll". The   Helpful   One  (Review) 13:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
