Proposed for deletion

Honestly, I am not comfortable with these entries about Wikipedia editors on BoyWiki and even though they may be antis... I think it shows a certain level of pettiness and I would like you to consider deleting them. Even though they might not accord us the same courtesy, I feel we are above this sort of thing. It really is not relevant to BL culture or heritage. I feel a better approach if you feel strongly about this subject is adding them as a part of the Wikipedia page. --Etenne (talk) 17:11, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

The goal is not really to denounce or shame them but to make it easier to track their activities, find useful content, and be aware of what they're about if we encounter them; also it's important to document the major players in order to tell the story of how Wikipedia ended up being what it is now. When we look at an old deletion debate, for instance, it's helpful to know the background behind the people who are commenting in various ways. Lysander (talk) 18:41, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Still couldn't this be added to the entry on Wikipedia? Also, I do not feel we should use their real names as their Wikipedia user names is enough. --Etenne (talk) 18:57, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

I agree that it suffices to use their Wikipedia name. There should at least be a redirect from the username to the article where the information can be found. Lysander (talk) 19:31, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes that's fine, just not his real name. --Etenne (talk) 19:34, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
