- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the discussion was: delete. Keeping these pages around has almost no value, arguably negative value, so I've deleted them. I agree with SmokeyJoe that it's better to do this quietly and avoid drawing attention to harassment by (mostly long since inactive) sockpuppeters. In the future, a better route might be to report these names to admins directly via WP:REVDELREQUEST, or start a more general discussion about whether we should be deleting these en masse (or never tagging userpages of socks that were never active editors, which I would strongly support)—in either case, MfD is probably not the right place. I don't feel a strong need to redact the list of usernames from the history of this page, but if another admin feels differently, they are welcome to do so. — The Earwig ( talk) 04:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
Attack usernames
- (List of usernames hidden — The Earwig ( talk) 04:28, 11 April 2021 (UTC))
per WP:DENY, these userpages for attack usernames consist only of notices about the user being blocked (and often a sockpuppet) and should be deleted, especially as many of them show up in the search results for the userpage of the attacked user. I've compiled a decent sized list of these and am starting with this selection to measure consensus. — csc -1 19:16, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

- Do not bring to mfd unambiguously personally offensive things like this. Use G10 or WP:OVERSIGHT. MFD archives must not become an archive of insults. — SmokeyJoe ( talk) 01:14, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
