Block all anonymous edits
Seems to be a one-time discussion from 2005, only two revisions in the page history and no meaningful incoming links. haz (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete rant Secret account 17:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Especially with current discussions on flagging articles. Seems, if anything, to be of value in that discussion. Collect (talk) 19:09, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge somewhere. Even if it was only edited twice, this is worth preserving as an example of historical discussion on a still-relevant topic; it doesn't seem to be breaking any of our guidelines. Terraxos (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Now linked to one of said discussions, in fact. Collect (talk) 21:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Of historical value. Even though it is brief and incomplete, it serves as an early example of the the IP editing rights debates and provides a reference point from which the evolution of the issues can be gauged. Dr.K. (logos) 21:53, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * An early example?, this has been discussed since the early days of wikipedia. If it was the first example of an editor discussing the blocking of all IP edits, then it's a different story. But this seemed like a misplaced comment/rant placed inside the wrong namespace of a long discussed topic. Secret account 21:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is of historical value, especially because it's a viewpoint held by several editors and particularly relevant to the flagged revisions discussion. There's nothing to be gained from deleting it. (Also, if someone wishes to pick this up again in say 2012, it's also good to know it was previously discussed, so it doesn't lose it's usefulness anyway. - Mgm|(talk) 10:25, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per all but User:Secret. -- MISTER ALCOHOL  TC 20:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, and mark as historical. No real reason this should be deleted, but it should be marked as an idea that never had its day. Grutness...wha?  23:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
