User talk:Glkanter


A year ago this user was banned by arbcom, and since then his behavior has resulted in arbcom giving him an indefinite ban on editing, followed by an indefinite ban on editing his own talk page, followed by an indefinite ban on sending Wikipedia email. In his last email before the email ban, he expressed a strong opinion that he felt it to be unfair that the arguments of his "enemies" are on his user talk page while he cannot respond. I propose deleting the user talk page to make it easier for him to move on with his life. All the arguments on the page (some of which violate WP:NPA) are at least a year old. Possible reasons for keeping include evidence if he comes back as a sockpuppet. Also, if deletion is rejected, can we blank the page? Guy Macon (talk) 14:00, 22 June 2012 (UTC) See Below.


 * Best solution - is a Bold Blank. Deletion is troublesome, since only admins would be able to see and that would strip many non-admin Sock Investigators information they could use. Blanking would deal with the potential NPA issues, as well. Achowat (talk) 14:22, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I am going to do that now, and if WP:BRD doesn't kick in, then we can close this as being resolved. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:34, 22 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - user's talk page for use as evidence in sock investigations. Blanking (rather than deletion) is a reasonable way to address any concern about personal attacks on the page and I see that Guy has already done that. EdJohnston (talk) 15:15, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and leave blanked. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:51, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and leave blanked. I had a look in as I've received a few emails from the person in the last few days. We physically delete complex user talk pages only under extraordinary circumstances, this is not one. Blanking is fine - but Glkanter, note that if you send me any more emails it is very unlikely I will reply by email, so you can expect my replies to appear on your blanked talk page if I am going to reply at all.

On 13:13, 22 June 2012, Arbcom Member Elen of the Roads changed the block settings for Glkanter with an expiry time of indefinite (account creation blocked, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Reblocking with email disabled due to abuse of email).

Nobody appears inclined to revert and discuss my bold blanking. Looks like consensus supports that solution.

I am withdrawing my request for deletion. Please close this MfD. Thanks, everybody! --Guy Macon (talk) 21:12, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
