It was just a suggestion, there is no need for you to act like a child. I think blanking one's talk page is fine but deleting a record of over 11,000 edits is not OK. RickK has been involved in Wikipedia for years - his deletion destroys a good amount of notes, chat, evidence, and information. If a normal user left, would we let them speedy delete their own talk page? Not without discussion, at least.

Other admins have deleted their own Talk: and User: pages upon leaving without sanction or even comment. Other editors have had their Talk: and User: pages deleted for them upon leaving, and have subsequently returned without having them restored.

I think de-sysopping would be like kicking him when he's down. Most people who leave when upset return anyway.

The page should be undeleted because it is under GFDL. Rick deleting his page should absolutely not be an argument for punishment. He is just upset. Let him the time to cool down :-)

If there's more people who deleted talk pages with significant content, then I think that should be adressed. We should ask the community at large if they need to be undeleted.
