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. The general consensus is for an overall delete and given that the information has been moved off-wiki, no version seems necessary. Also, the basis for the keep vote is moot now that Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate has opened. - Ricky81682 (talk) 00:16, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

User talk:Retartist/8chanstuff (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

As admitted to by the page creator at the top (" this is not written by myself, this is written by a collaboration of 8chan users and so is not a reflection of my views etc"), this page is deliberately being used as a gathering point for 8chan, an anonymous forum that opened its doors to gamergaters once 4chan has a moment of clarity and kicked them out. 8chan users are insistent that Gamergate controversy is actually about ethics in journalism, when the overwhelming amt of reliable sources have made it clear that the notability stems from harassment. Misplaced Pages's userspace should not be used as a web host for criticism by people who are not editors. The only edits there so far are by the creator and a single-purpose account, Eldritcher. Delete this, please, we're in clear WP:NOTWEBHOST territory. Tarc (talk) 16:24, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Ok that's better, but you're still practicing meatpuppetry by recruiting editors off-wiki to bolster your side of the dispute, even if you intend to filter and submit those comments yourself later on. I'd be happy with nuking the page history and restoring just the most recent version. Ivanvector (talk) 22:15, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
