Is there a particular reason why we'd need such a criterion? As far as I can tell, there is no harm in keeping the userpages of indefinitely blocked users, unless they meet some other criteria (like being inappropriate), in which case they can be deleted under any of our other criteria; or if they were created after the user got blocked, in which case it would be considered block evasion and eligible for [[TSW:G5|G5]]. If the page is better off being deleted, then a deletion discussion to decide whether or not that is indeed the case can be held. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 16:11, December 27, 2019 (UTC) |

Revision as of 16:11, 27 December 2019
I would like to propose the addition of a new speedy deletion criterion. The text of the proposed addition would be as follows:
- U3. Userspace pages of indefinitely blocked users or users blocked for more than one year
This rule applies to pages existing in the userspace or user blog namespace, belonging to a user who has been either blocked indefinitely or blocked for a duration of at least one year. This applies to any pages in the user's userspace or user blog, except for the user talk page (and archive pages, if applicable) and the userpage itself. Note that this rule does not apply to pages created by users whose accounts have been disabled by staff.
I've noticed that there is a small gap in our existing Speedy Deletion criteria regarding pages that a user might create in their own userspace, or in their user blog. Under current criteria, if a user is long-term blocked or indefinitely blocked, there is no rule allowing those pages to be speedily deleted; a deletion discussion would have to be held to determine whether to delete pages that no user except the page creator has "permission" to edit (and in the case of user blogs, only the blog post writer and wiki administrators have the technical ability to edit the page anyways). This additional criterion seeks to close that gap. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog · contribs 04:40, December 22, 2019 (UTC)
