"pointless page created disruptively" (Personal attack removed). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.71.40 (talk • contribs) 23:13, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

If you want to restore an article you should maybe go to the wp:teahouse and ask someone how that works, as I don’t know. What I do know is that complaining on the talk page of a closed AfD discussion probably isn’t going to do anything as basically nobody looks at these if they exist at all. I only noticed this because the AfD was still on my watchlist because ordinarily there’s no point in removing them since they just get archived forever.

I removed a personal attack from the main page. You can criticize people’s actions or ideas, just don’t hurl insults at them personally, especially vulgar ones. Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~), which will automatically add your name and a link to your talk page. Dronebogus (talk) 00:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

• Keep - Talk pages are not deleted because someone dislikes their content. This MFD page is a pointless page created disruptively, but we don't delete it either. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:57, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
  • If it’s disruptive (i.e. against civility/discussion rules) and has no other purpose besides that, then shouldn’t it be deleted? Dronebogus (talk) 15:52, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
    • User:Dronebogus - If there is purely disruptive material on a talk page, maybe you should request that it be redacted as WP:RD2 or WP:RD3, which preserves any part of the talk page that is not disruptive. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:46, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
      • I already removed a personal attack. Dronebogus (talk) 17:49, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. Doesn’t add anything constructive. 4.71.249.251 (talk) 17:46, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
• Keep, project user comment. Consider merge and redirect, but I think it is a valid comment in a valid place. Do not delete talk contribution history, such censorship is very corrosive. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:24, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Where would it be merged to?2601:241:300:B610:F1BA:AEF9:9050:8993 (talk) 01:47, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

    I think leave it alone. It could be merged into the AfD, below the archive box. It could be merged to the IP's talk page, and responded to there.

    Why are you asking questions logged out? I think you should register, for accountability, if you want to participate in back room project discussions. If you have an account, you are violating WP:SOCK by editing project space logged out. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:04, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

    • I don't have an account, as I don't feel the need since I've been able to edit fine without it.2601:241:300:B610:F1BA:AEF9:9050:8993 (talk) 04:05, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

      Registering has so many advantages. You will get more trust. You can talk to people with them remembering who your are. You will not invoke distrust in XfD discussions. You will gain privacy, not revealing your location data. You gain the option of a watchlist. SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:22, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Additional input would help to discern a rough consensus here.

• Keep The personal attack has been removed, which was appropriate. I don't see a further need to delete this page. Rhino131 (talk) 22:28, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
