Wikipedia:Blanking userpages of blocked editors is not necessarily gravedancing

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

I wrote this essay 12 years ago. It refers to a time in history when most blocked accounts were commonly tagged with indef templates. Most of these templates themselves no longer exist and so the situation this essay describes doesn't really exist anymore either. As such, the essay is functionally obsolete. I'd rather it simply be speedied, but since others have edited it I think it's past that point. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 01:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Suggest Blank and tag Historical. I recognise the old behaviour and how the community has changed. The essay reflects the past.  I prefer to see such things archived, clearly marked as not correct, but freely available for anyone to browse the history. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:56, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Prefer blanking per SmokeyJoe. —Alalch E. 15:40, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Tag historical per above but I don't think there's any point in blanking it. It's a highly unconventional action for an essay. Graham 87 08:00, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Tag historical, blanking seems unnecessary.  Stuart 98  ( Talk • Contribs) 23:36, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Just tag historical. Blanking or deleting both far exceed normal practice. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 18:40, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
