Delete - there is nothing to discuss, its over move on , continual trawling it over and over is more trouble that it is worth. Off2riorob (talk) 16:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)- Keep. Nomination alleges that the page contains "Polemical statements unrelated to Wikipedia, or statements attacking or vilifying groups of editors or persons". With the possible exception of the insinuation against ArbCom, who can suck it up, this is manifestly not the case. Read it over; it is an attempt to thread events together, not an assault on the dearly departed. If editors want to descend into self-parody and paranoia in their own userspace, so be it; it keeps this nonsense off the project pages. Nominating this for deletion will achieve nothing but further fuel the hitherto dying embers of the drama fire. Skomorokh 16:57, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. I think Giano is totally going about this the wrong way, but that's not a reason for deletion. WP:UP#POLEMIC is not meant to suppress discussion about key wiki-political events such as when an arbitrator resigns under scandalous circumstances. This MfD looks like an attempt to draw attention to the page; I don't think that's a good idea. Hans Adler 17:24, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. It's unhelpful, unlikely to get any useful response, and is clearly flogging a dead horse. However, shutting Giano down is only going to add fuel to his conspiracy theories over this whole episode, so why not just leave it be?--KorruskiTalk 17:27, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Keep per arbcom participation on page.--Cube lurker (talk) 17:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. As Korruski says, trying to gag Giano just provides fuel for the conspiracy theorist. From the outset, ArbCom failed to deal with this issue in an appropriate manner, and trying to sweep the mess under the carpet by deleting Giano's page is not the way to go.

- Keep Despite all the negative publicity it is a sincere attempt to clear the air and set future precedents and protocols on the event of such a situation arising again. Giacomo 18:31, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
