This has become a forum for attacking me and I don't appreciate it: especially because the page was not started about me. ScienceApologist (talk) 14:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - This page is no different than almost any other AN/I archive. If we are to set a precedent by deleting this one, then we might just as well delete them all; in fact, there are quite a few that are far worse than this thread. Further, deleting this will mean that only administrators can read it and make links to it, which will happen. Risker (talk) 14:34, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Should I ask that it be oversighted since it makes some potentially libelous claims about my person? ScienceApologist (talk) 14:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Close. ScienceApologist accepted an offer I made to courtesy blank the page and will not object to closing this MfD. I noted I would blank the page (which I did) and recommend WP:RFO for any egregious diffs. Vassyana (talk) 15:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Absolute Keep. This is about how Vassyana has unilaterally decided to punish Martainphi and ignore the instigation of Martainphi's action by ScienceApologist. If SA thinks he has been attacked, then he should take the complaint to the admins under a separate action, in which case, he will need the page as a reference. For SA and Vassyana to decide together to "disappear" the page seems to be an abuse of admin authority and is certainly catering to SA. But if the arguments against Martainphi's punishment are to be hidden, then any resemblance of due course goes with the page and Vassyana must remove the punishment.

 * Keep because V's final proposal is an exceptionally fair-handed remedy, asking no more han that the several people involved follow the behavior that everyone is supposed to follow. I note the result of the discussion was to remove the originaly imposed unilateral restriction, and thus the page represents a remarkable good exampe to follow in other similar cases. Arb com has a lot to learn from it on how to craft remedies. DGG (talk) 16:33, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Remark. I'd like to recommend an early closure at this juncture, further to Vassyana's courtesy blanking of the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/User:MartinPhi. The material cited as unfair attacking on an editor has, to most purposes, been removed from public view. Whilst it is indeed accessible through the page's history function, the courtesy blanking has served to remove it from direct attacking, whilst still being accessible for on-going transparency: after all, Wikipedia does not generally remove material from view unless it is grossly inappropriate, or causes privacy concerns (the material does not, I believe, fit any of these criterion). This MfD seems largely moot, further to recent developments (that is, further to the courtesy blanking). Anthøny  16:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
