User:Ohconfucius/essay/rant about Falun Gong pages


The editor whose userspace this page is contained in has been indefinitely banned from this topic in all namespaces, broadly construed, as per Arbitration/Requests/Case/Falun Gong 2/Proposed decision. I cannot see any reason for the editor to maintain a page relating to content from which he has been banned. Included in this nomination are the related pages and talkpages, including User:Ohconfucius/essay/rant about Falun Gong pages/user analysis. John Carter (talk) 18:32, 22 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep A topic ban doesn't require that an editor remove comments or opinions expressed prior to the ban going into effect. As such I don't think it serves as a justification for deleting it. Technically, even responding to your MfD nomination would be a violation of the topic ban imposed in that case, which hardly seems fair. I think at the very least we should suspend discussion of deleting this page until Ohconfucius is permitted to respond without violating the topic ban.  Monty  845  19:03, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - These are actually good points. There is one problem, specifically, that in this case Ohconfucius has not only been banned from the article but has also retired, at least temporarily, as a result of unforseen developments in his personal life. That being the case, he may well never return at all, let alone specifically to comment on anything like this. Having said all that, I do acknowledge the validity of the points made above, and I guess I should say at this point that I myself would perhaps have no objections to withdrawing the nomination if others agreed with Monty above.

 * Keep He says in that essay "I am no fan of the Chinese Communist Party, the media censorship it practices, nor its human rights record, but ..." I think it would be improper to remove such statements in view of recent discussions and decisions. Also, I agree with Monty's point. --Mirokado (talk) 20:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination based on comments of Monty and Mirokado above, although I'm not sure entirely of the procedures for doing so. John Carter (talk) 21:21, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
