Violates WP:UP#POLEMIC "Users should generally not maintain in public view negative information related to others without very good reason. Negative evidence, laundry lists of wrongs, collations of diffs and criticisms related to problems, etc" The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 17:34, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

• Delete - Attack pages are not allowed. If he really needs to have such a list, he should keep it strictly on his own PC and not publicly visible. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 17:46, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Keep I can't say that I feel very attacked. Spartaz 17:51, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Keep because it's not an attack page. It's just a list of things he wants to remember, most of which are not negative. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 18:02, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:UP#OWN: "Misplaced Pages offers wide latitude to users to manage their user space as they see fit." It is this page here that was created for attack. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 18:05, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
  • He has referred to it as a "twat list". How is that not an attack? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 18:06, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
    • Serious question: by this argument doesn't it mean that if I call the List of presidents of the United States a "twat list" in an edit summary, it means that I'm attacking the presidents on that list and we should therefore delete that list? jps (talk) 19:03, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Keep per Boris. Guettarda (talk) 18:38, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Keep Not an attack page. A bad faith nomination. Mathsci (talk) 18:41, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't agree that it is an attack page. Cardamon (talk) 18:44, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Strong keep. This is a perfectly acceptable Misplaced Pages page. You see, WMC refers to keeping a twat list, but only a bad faith editor can conclude that this page is the twat list. There is no evidence that this page is the twat list. Tijfo098 (talk) 18:51, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
  • I was waiting for someone to make that bogus argument. Congratulations, you win the cigar. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 18:53, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
    • Bogus? It seems perfectly legalistic and justifiable to me. Kinda reminds me of this argument. jps (talk) 19:07, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
• Comment: Inappropriate list, but an even more inappropriate AfD. Let's not kick WMC while he's down. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 19:00, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like a cop-out to me. If you think it's inappropriate, you should vote "delete". --Stephan Schulz (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

• Keep. We have obviously reached a point where good, but vague ideas like WP:CIVIL have been perverted and are now used as a nuisance tactic. Misplaced Pages needs more free speech and less fake "I'm so hurt, somebody has been uncivil by expressing an opinion I disagree with". --Stephan Schulz (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
