Polemical attacks on both the project and indirectly users they disagree with. Slatersteven (talk) 10:02, 15 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Any opinion can be seen as an indirect attack on holders of a contrary opinion. From my reading, it seems to wish truth, fairness and human decency on the project, hardly bad things. There's something literally, clearly and procedurally wrong with the tag syntax there and the ToC here, though, and I think it needs to be corrected.

 * "Wiki’s Julian Assange article is being compiled for the most part by the prosecution – the rules and courtroom niceties are usually adhered to in the editing, but such is the dominance of negativity towards Assange - that any sense of him as a human being who might just be worthy of a little compassion or empathy is generally kept off the page (usually with the rational that treating a living subject as human being is somehow “un-encyclopaedic”).".Slatersteven (talk) 10:47, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure why you're copying and pasting what you claim to want erased, but yes, I read it twice now. InedibleHulk (talk) 10:55, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Because you seemed to say the page did not contain anything that violates wp:npa, this does I would argue. As well as WP:POLEMIC.Slatersteven (talk) 13:06, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * From that, all I can reasonably gather is that you (or someone else) is being likened to a prosecutor, and you (or the anonymous victim represented in your formal complaints) don't think that fairly characterizes you (them). Is that the case? To be clear, yes, I don't see a personal attack, and no, I don't consider you (or any associate) an actual government lawyer. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:20, 16 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Userspace rants railing against some aspect or another of the project are common and accepted, ever read the retirement notice of someone who departed on bitter terms? These are largely pointless but we don't delete userpages as a result of them. I'm no fan of the indirect reference to the editors with whom they are in conflict. However no one is named, nor is it the kind of coy thinly concealed reference where the target of the remark can be inferred with ease. Variants of got old a long time ago, but again they fall within the leeway granted on userpages, nor is it otherwise on obvious WP:UP vio. I'd counsel against placing stuff like that on your userpage, but if someone refuses to remove it the issue is best dropped, if for no other reason than starting MFDs or ANIs massively increases the number of people who see the remarks (cf. Streisand effect). Perhaps the project would be better off with tighter and more clear userspace guidelines, but that's best done through a centralised rfc, not by nominating one arbitrary userpage for deletion.

 * Keep after a page skim per "slippery road", "a Wikipedians userpage is their castle", and "they came for the unvaxxed IPs and I did nothing". Now I'll go back and read what the page says and see if something on it turns on my authoritarian gene so I can come back and give the page the boot. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:38, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not a polemical attack on any individual editors.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:40, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Nothing here that is hateful or offensive. Robert McClenon (talk) 11:54, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - Let the fella rant, it's his user-page. If one doesn't like what's written? don't read it & move on. GoodDay (talk) 23:22, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
