It was written when he wasn’t blocked. It was conceivably written for the benefit of the project. An account being blocked is not a reason for deletion of the accounts userspace pages.
You now allege that Web hosting is at play. That wasn’t in your nomination. Looking at page views, they are not negligible, so maybe it is being used as a free web host resource. That’s a good reason to delete.
If I has the ability to move without a redirect, I’d have moved it without redirect to the authors userspace.
I don’t particularly oppose deletion, but my suggestion is to Userfy from projectspace things that don’t belong there and would not cause concern if in userspace.

My first thought was to summarily delete it. Any professed desire to avoid wasting the community's time is somewhat contradicted by the invention of rules that non-anythings be kept around in other namespaces indefinately for no other reason than that it means not deleting them.

I think it would be better to Userfy things like this. And separately, if something is redundant to something else, the first thought should be to redirect. So, “userfy, then redirect”. I’m sorry that you don’t like my opinion. If you want to challenge me on why I have some opinions, the answers could well touch things not well connected to the page in question.
I disagree that the page is a non-anything. It looks potentially useful for something associated with Wikipedia. Yes, old and redundant, but mfd is not well used to discussed everything old and redundant.

i.e. put the history in userspace, leave nothing in projectspace, and send anyone casually coming across it to the most relevant mainspace article. —08:51, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Redirect to
ASCII. This is article content. It exists in the
ASCII article, formatted very similarly. If someone wants an ASCII reference on-site, they should search for "ASCII", and if they search for "Wikipedia:ASCII" for whatever reason, they should be redirected to the ASCII article.—
