As per WP:DENY, and because he is making demands that the page be kept. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:06, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Weird logic. "Hi, I'm Willy on Wheels, and I DEMAND that you keep the page Earth! Ha ha, now you must delete it!" -Amarkov ^blah_edits 00:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

*Delete (Speedy?)--Doc^g 01:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• • To quote Zoe, "Since xfD is not a vote, please explain your comment." --StuffOfInterest 11:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Because I'm awkward and like to be different.--Doc^g 22:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. It acts as a coordination point for checking edit patterns. Agree with the "weird logic" vote above, because he says to keep it now we must remove it? --StuffOfInterest 01:17, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per StuffOfInterest. MER-C 02:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Useful for keeping track of a persistent vandal. Why should we care what he wants? —Dgies^t c 02:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep What if we delete it, but then he says he's glad it was deleted- do we have to recreate it? -- Kicking222 03:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - This seems to be a case of someone who is going to continue a pattern of harrassment here, regardless of what is done. WP:DENY is useful, but in this case the benefit of tracking this user's actions seem to outweigh the cheap thrill the user gets. It's far too late to purge their activities from the database. -- Kesh 03:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Given Cplot is still vandalizing the Help Desk, I think it is important to document how widespread their continued abuse of Wikipedia is. -- Kesh 03:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep unless and until the admins dealing with this infestation report it's no longer useful to them; delete if and when that happens. Note that it doesn't appear the page is complete; perhaps this needs to be merged with some other resource. Newyorkbrad 04:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Amarkov. JorcogaYell! 13:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per above. -- Selmo ^(talk) 18:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep — Xiutwel (talk) 23:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Since xfD is not a vote, please explain your comment. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, documentation on how to identify these types of people which assists in keeping the lid on them; per StuffOfInterest. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

*Delete. I myself do not find his vandalism particularly hard to keep track of. Then again, User:Kesh has a good point. I would prefer just a short listing at WP:LTA. Grandmasterka 10:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, for historic purposes and to keep track of this user's sockpuppets. Terence Ong 14:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Cplot is a problem to Wikipedia: he breaches WP:CIVIL, WP:HARASS and other policies. --SunStar Net^talk 16:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Deleting a page just to piss off a vandal is as much a violation of WP:DENY as making a page canonizing them. --tjstrf talk 19:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Per all of the above. Arjun 02:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep To help identify future crazies. --Tbeatty 03:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It seems that Cplot is trying to get his way by making it look like he wants it kept. Eli Falk 09:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, but delete WP:DENY. F.F.McGurk 14:34, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Why? Newyorkbrad 23:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Likely because people misuse it to nominate pages like this. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 23:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
