User talk:Ganglandnews
Not connected to www.ganglandnews.com and people might think it the official user name Tomtwiles (talk) 14:46, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. User talk pages are rarely ever deleted. It sounds like your concern is with the username, not the content of the page, so you may want to withdraw this MFD and make a report to Usernames for administrator attention instead. --RL0919 (talk) 14:52, 26 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. Accounts that haven't edited in 3 weeks or more should not be reported there
 * Good point. In that case I would say Keep. User talk page history, especially when it shows past notifications of inappropriate behavior, can be important for future discussions of user behavior (if this user ever returns), so we should not delete them just because of speculation that the account might be confused with an outside website. You are free to add a discussion comment on the page noting your belief that the account is not associated with the website. Or, if you are a representative of the site and believe the existence of this account is harmful to your organization, you can send an email to info-en (at) wikimedia.org to prove your identity and request special action. --RL0919 (talk) 15:25, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Objections to a username should not be dealt with by requesting deletion of the user talk page. There is no problematic content on the user talk page itself. Maybe the person needs to change their username (although I have no opinion about that issue yet), but that's a separate issue. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:14, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Maybe an admin can just change the user name. The history will still be there. Just with a new name. --Tomtwiles (talk) 17:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That would have to be done by a bureaucrat, not an admin. That's what the UAA board is for that I mentioned above, but unless a name is egregious (such as offensive words), the guidelines discourage action on accounts that aren't actively editing. --RL0919 (talk) 17:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Deleting this talk page would not change the fact that the editor in question has registered this username. MfD is not WP:RFCN. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 20:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
