Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TheM62Manchester[edit]

Since WP:DENY is being used to delete vandal userpages, should it also be used to delete RFA's of vandals??

Note: This vandal has impersonated me; as such I feel this page should be deleted for that reason as well as WP:DENY. --LiverpoolCommander 10:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I understand the reasoning above, but, as the RfA was in a sense an "official" part of wikipedia, I think it should stay. I don't think we've yet gotten to the point of being able to change events after the fact here. Badbilltucker 13:03, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question, sorry, but I don't quite understand why you want this page deleted, please explain. Thanks.--Andeh 16:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong, strong keep. – Do you intend on MfD'ing all requests for adminship of indefinitely blocked users? I think you'll find there are quite a few. I would perhaps say delete if and only if the RfA was created by a known Wikipedia vandal at the time, and in this case it wasn't. I also feel the reason 'this vandal has impersonated me' is not a valid reason for deletion. Should definitely be kept for record purposes if for no other reason. And also a question to LiverpoolCommander – how has he impersonated you? Your account was created some two weeks after he was blocked indefinitely. — FireFox (talk) 16:32, 22 September 2006
  • Keep exactly per FireFox. This is a historical record of a sort. The user was found to be a vandal quite a bit after his RFA failed. Additionally, LiverpoolCommander's account was created quite a bit after TheM62Manchester was indef-blocked, so I don't see how he could possibly have been impersonated by this particular vandal.

  • Keep per above. I think LiverpoolCommander is referring to the socks claimed by TheM62Manchester, as his user page states: "My last usernames were Chelston (editing the Ford Verona article... I like Ford cars!) and Blackrunner but I locked myself out! Plus a few good edits under anon IPs too in 2005... so I'm not that new!" Yomanganitalk 18:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
