User:Wavyinfinity


per WP:FAKEARTICLE. Content largely that deleted as "consensus that this kind of content has no place on Wikipedia. (The article essentially constituted promotion of an obscure fringe theory; qualifying it in the first sentence as a fringe theory makes no difference. In addition, several users have noted the misuse of references.)" at Articles for deletion/Stellar metamorphosis. Seems pointy/disruptive re-creation. Begoon &thinsp; talk 03:51, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, consider User:Wavyinfinity/sandbox, since it seems that can serve only the same purpose, with no prospect of becoming an article. Begoon &thinsp; talk  03:58, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I've put that up for CSD as it is a recreation of an article deleted at AfD. I'm not sure if CSD applies where there is a small amount of extra text atop the page, like in the User:Waveyinfinity, but it could probably be deleted by CSD too. IRWolfie- (talk) 09:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Fake article. This "article" was already deleted at AfD Articles_for_deletion/Stellar_metamorphosis as being fringe original research and misusing citations. IRWolfie- (talk) 09:10, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep in this state with the "censored" text removed. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:06, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's fine by me, and probably what I should have done - maybe I overreacted at seeing the deleted content pointily recreated in multiple places. I'll withdraw the discussion and remove the tag, if that would be helpful - or someone else can - not sure of procedure now there are comments. Begoon &thinsp; talk  11:10, 25 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Personally I'm in favour of removing the fringe soapboxing as well, which includes claims that an AfD I started was "censorship", and that we are in the "thought police". IRWolfie- (talk) 09:28, 26 September 2013 (UTC)


 * At least there's little danger of anyone with a modicum of intelligence seeing that as anything other than an odd little rant. Far more important that we removed the fake article(s) which could have accidentally misled someone into taking the nonsense seriously, even for a moment.
 * I do take your point about the soapboxing - but I also sometimes, I confess, see a certain kind of value in leaving revealing, self-defeating gibberish of that nature in place. After all, the userpage is where one might go to find out about a user, and I think that what's left there now does a pretty elegant job of providing that information, albeit as a sort of unintentional self-parody. It would certainly tell me everything I needed to know in those circumstances... Begoon &thinsp; talk  10:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You make a very good point. Consider me neutral on deleting the rant, IRWolfie- (talk) 09:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
