[edit] User:68.39.174.238/Newgatery

Catalogue of vandalism. WP:DENY. ~ Riana ⁂ 10:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep This is not meant to encourage vandalism, but is written as an analysis/opinion piece on the users. An essay (which WP:DENY) is, cannot be seen as a reason to delete something. WP:DENY is not policy, and User:68.39.174.238/Newgatery. is written in a way so as not to glorify vandal memes, but just describe what they do. I can't see the harm in this: if newbies ask "who's X vandal?" surely they can be told about this page?? I can't see the harm in it. Also, the user who created the page has a history of encyclopedic contributions, so I see no reason why they couldn't be given leeway in their userspace. It's more of an essay than a vandalism catalogue, well, that's what I make of it anyway.. --Solumeiras ^talk 11:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)--Solumeiras ^talk 13:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC) --Solumeiras ^talk 17:44, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
