Long term abuse/North Carolina vandal
This page should be deleted along with all of the other vandal subpages that have been deleted recently. This vandal is just a typical attention-seeking vandal whose vandalism is easy enough to spot and revert without this page (see WP:LTA for the criteria for creating vandal subpages). This page serves little practical purpose other than to glorify this vandal (if I remember correctly he was actually the one to first create it.) Subpages may be appropriate in the case of very serious or mentally-troubled vandals, but not in the case of typical vandals such as this.--Hybern5 21:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - page serves to glorfy this vandal more than anything else.--Hybern5 21:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment user has made a total of 6 edits, all NCV-related.--A. B. 12:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to here because that is a more appropriate place for it. MER-C 02:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would never have found this information at that non-Wikipedia link when I was looking for info on NCV using the Wikipedia search function last night.--A. B. 12:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The http://countervandalism.org link cited above linked to a blank when I checked it just now.--A. B. 12:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, transwiki if desired. Nacon kantari  04:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to contain very little practical information for dealing with this vandal. --pgk 17:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete vandal glorification pages for simple vandals. Grand  master  ka  01:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * comment I am the NCV himself who has tried to give up vandalism. I don't want the history delted so I'll move it to my own subpage, for historical purposes. Unfortunately my good accounts (like User:N. Narcissus) are considered vandals. People disagree with my good edits too =. But thats off the point.Sprokkhon 02:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete quite simply because he wants to keep it so badly. Numerous attempts in last couple of days to move to userspace stating "I am not a page move vandal, I want to keep the history of my article." - WP:DENY - who knew it worked ;) Gl e n 09:29, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep -- useful source of information for people that encounter this person; article was useful to me in trying to figure out odd, vandalistic edits. I'd never heard of him/her until last night when I was trying to figure out some anomalous edit and user creation patterns.--A. B. 12:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: If you do decide to delete the article, please keep the information accessible somewhere on Wikipedia. Also, I suggest perhaps putting a template warning at the top of the talk pages for most frequently vandalized North Carolina articles  cluing people in so they don't waste as much time as I did trying to figure out what's going on. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#New account created by blocked user.--A. B. 12:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep- This page gives information. Wikipedia is the main reason why vandals are here. If this is meant to reduce vandalism, we are all dead wrong. The only way to end vandalism forever is to end Wikipedia itself, which no one (including me) will support with a sane mind. Arbiteroftruth 15:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Delete in line with the spirit of WP:DENY. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 15:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep as important to vandal reverting, but yet delete per WP:DENY. Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 04:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, just a vandal, block them and don't give them names per WP:DENY. Kusma (討論) 05:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
