Wikipedia:Fastily effect


Not sure what the purpose of this is. I went to Fastily's talk page and I asked them, but they don't know either. Otherwise, it's almost like a WP:BLP violation in the project namespace regarding an editor on Wikipedia, considering that there is no encyclopedic article named Fastily.

 * Delete Its an obvious shot at Fastily, I will note the author of it posted this comment at an AFD referencing it. It is mentioned in a wikipedia hate board, and the context (aside from some pretty hateful comments about Fastily) seems to be his departure from Commons, and some backlash Fastily got from controversial deletions back in the day.

 * Changing vote to Keep per author explanation. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  15:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Good research into the matter. With that, I'd almost say that this page is eligible for WP:CSD. Steel1943  (talk) 05:56, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd say it probably is, since Fastily is still alive, presuming he hasn't kicked the bucket in the last 30 minutes. Mind if I tag it for CSD? -- Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  06:05, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Go for it. Steel1943  (talk) 06:14, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Done, I've made a null edit linking them here for a more thorough explanation. -- Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  06:20, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I declined the speedy because I'm AGFing that did not create this page as a attack but probably to prove a point. I have asked him if he would agree to a G7 tagging instead. Regards  So  Why  07:28, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is certainly not an attack page. It is a maxim that it behooves us all to remember - particularly before we actually do attack someone for getting things wrong.  As my mother used to say "the only people who don't make mistakes, don't make anything."

 * In its own way, that's kind of endearing. Your intent was to voice a fallacy with editors at the time by pointing out actions against Fastily, and not actually say any negative about Fastily. Though that may have been the case, that page's current wording made me think the opposite could be true as well since the page could be read like an attack on Fastily's character. (I wasn't 100% sure what was going on, which is why I didn't tag the page with a db-g10 myself. That, and if I had been looking through the db-g10 backlog and noticed this page, I would have left the page in the backlog for another to make the call.)

 * User:Rich Farmbrough If you wish to keep it, you should tag it an essay, and add more content and context. I must also apologize for assuming bad faith. If you want help for making it I am down for it. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  15:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete with no prejudice against recreation of an essay describing the phenomenon. It's definitely a worthy maxim to remember, I'm just not liking the idea about making it eponymous or associated with a specific user's behavior present or past. (do we have other such essays?) &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 15:26, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
