Long term abuse/Archive 1 and Long term abuse/Archive 2
Both of these archives are no longer relevant, as none of them lists a long-term vandal, only a one- or two-shot vandal. I have gone through and checked, and not a single one of these vandals has hit in two or three years; in fact, I pruned about half of archive 1, as it was almost entirely long-gone one-shots who never came back again. Anything relevant is already archived in WP:VIP or WP:LTA in the very unlikely event that any of these vandals comes back.

 * Keep and find something better to do. What purpose is served by deleting institutional memory? → ROUX   ₪  02:11, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * What do we benefit by keeping archives of people that only vandalized twice? This is bordering on a shrine to vandals. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Roux. Crafty (talk) 02:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Roux; we don't have any policy or guideline about shrines to vandals and I don't see it necessary to remove this. Stifle (talk) 08:25, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, No need to delete valid archives. Graham 87 06:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as a valid archive, plus it seems a little out of the way to be a vandal shrine. -- B figura (talk) 05:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
