Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Ezekiel53746 vandalism warnings

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 all by clear consensus. The main arguments for keeping them, apart from WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, were (a) that users should have freedom to experiment to see whether the standard warnings can be improved on, and (b) that Ezekiel could, without contravening any policy, have used these manually, and could continue to do so if even if these are deleted. As regards (a), there is agreement that these particular warnings are not an improvement on the standard ones, and in reply to (b) it has been well argued that if he made a practice of using these warnings, sooner or later it would be noticed and he would be asked to stop, which is effectively what has happened here.
