Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/ComCat

ComCat should dedicate himself to do more creative things here, such as writing articles instead of putting the entire encyclopedia into deletion votes. Antonio the 5,000th Editor Martin

  • While I do agree that ComCat has done appropriate VFD's, I just think he/she needs to slow down a bit, perhaps do a bit a research, then perform the VFD. If he or she does that, perhaps we would not even be here. I am not intending this to go to full-blown RFAr, I want this RFC to help him or her in their Wiki-perience.

    • Agreed. That's my purpose in calling the RFC; User:ComCat's editting history consists almost entirely of rapid slews of VfDs (minutes apart, so very, very little attempt at research is done), of which a high fraction are questionable. More importantly, his talk page has several complaints about this, without a single response either on his talk page, or even on other pages (reviewing his edit history). Wikipedia should encourage bold edits, but this isn't bold editing. Wikipedia should encourage contributions (including VfDs to cull obvious junk), but many of his are more destructive than constructive. And finally, Wikipedia has a deletion policy, which isn't being followed here. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater is not acceptable, and neither is tying up a lot of effort on VfD's which have anonymous agreement by dozens of users that they should be kept. I'd like to keep ComCat around, but he should (a) be more restrained, and (b) respond to questions raised on his own talk page. Just IMHO. -- Kaszeta 02:52, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
