::I don’t claim a clear consensus that it should be blanked. Instead, it is my judgement as a single editor that it is better blanked. A single edit is not a dance. Taking it to MfD for a formal community discussion would be a dance. I believe that I sufficiently considered implications and ramifications, and my judgement is that all are lessened by the content being blanked without ceremony. If the user becomes unblocked, without a topic ban on the topic, they would be free to unblank. [[User:SmokeyJoe|SmokeyJoe]] ([[User talk:SmokeyJoe|talk]]) 08:50, 13 July 2023 (UTC) |

Revision as of 15:57, 23 July 2023
User:Adoring_nanny’s essay on Lab leaks.
Hello PackMecEng.
Would you please further explain your revert here. “Not needed just yet, please see the recent afd”.
What is your interest in this essay, or User:Adoring nanny?
What is your criteria for “needed”? If not “just yet”, then when? Do you know the difference between mfd and afd? You did not participate in the mfd, so why the interest now and not during the mfd?

- @SmokeyJoe: I admit that I did participate in the MFD discussion[1], but I experienced a momentary lapse in recalling the meaning of the three-letter acronyms involved. However, upon reflection, I failed to perceive a clear consensus to blank the page during that MFD, nor did I personally find significant value in doing so. The notion of blanking the page struck me as akin to engaging in grave dancing, which left me with reservations about supporting such an action. It's important to carefully consider the implications and potential ramifications before making decisions that involve altering or removing content, particularly when it comes to topics that hold significance or have historical context.

You know that you shouldn't troll
I know User:Abecedare commented at the discussion, but I think it should be on the record here. I'm referring to Special:Diff/1165991959 where you say to Bishonen "*:Ha, did you stick out your tongue at the end as well?". Doug Weller talk 15:57, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
