User StevenBlack alleges two things:
The topic's not nascent; the article is. My position is that you could take a year to write this article and it would still be deletable per WP:N. -- But|seriously|folks 07:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Evidently user butseriously has personal NPOV issues in evaluating the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper article for notability.
User StevenBlack respectfully requests two simple things
User Steven Black also asks the mediator: Given the pattern of behavior of user Butseriouslyfolks, as witnessed here but also by extensive and innumerable complaints on his talk pages and his talk archives, how is Wikipedia fairing as a welcoming and safe environment where knowledgeable users can contribute?
The first part of this background was created by User StevenBlack and shows the first incarnation of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper which StevenBlack alleges was unilaterally and beligerantly deleted by user Butseriouslyfolks.
The second part of this background shows a continued pattern of alleged harassment by Butseriouslyfolks towards Lake Ontario Waterkeeper in general and toward user StevenBlack in particular.
21 October: StevenBlack creates a new Lake Ontario Waterkeeper topic in Wikipedia. It's bare-bones. It's a start.
21 October: Caren bot notifies that a breech of copyright is possible.
Caren bot is incorrect for two reasons
StevenBlack removes the Caren bot notice.
21 October: User Butseriouslyfolks, stating "bot is correct" or some equivalent, reverts.
22 October: Steven Back finds no trace of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper. There is nothing in history to be found. No notice is given on StevenBlack's talk page. All prior work is, evidently, lost.
For general reference, here is a chronology of the first 24 hours of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, attempt number 2:
It takes about an hour for StevenBlack to re-create what was beligerantly and unilaterally deleted by, as it turns out, user Butseriouslyfolks.
