George Willaim Herbert,
While I understand your concerns about "thougthcrime" the only precedent
that might exist here is that a page created by a banned user through
proxy
was deleted. Pages created by banned users can be speedy deleted under
[[WP:CSD#General_criteria]] general criteria #5. Discussion about a
proposal
isn't verboten (and in fact on one of the the original threads started by
Resid Gulerdem there is indeed a very lively ongoing discussion).
Hope that helps you to better understand this.
I understand the policy, but the effect is apparently to limit that
discussion to Wikien-L and not on WP itself.
Is that the (big picture) right thing to do?
Would Raphael paraphrasing the whole WP:OURS page instead of just cutting
and pasting it get around the current GFDL issue, or is the very existence
of a WP:OURS page forbidden forever now since Resid got himself banned,
requiring a retitle as well? If Raphael retitled and paraphrased/rewrote
from scratch the proposal, would that still be banned in your
interpretation?
Again, this commentary is NOT any kind of support for WP:OURS. I'm just
uncomfortable with how the proposal's being treated at the moment.
