This page was created in 2007 and had become inactive for several years. In 2010, it was resurrected and moved to User:Hi878/Earth Cabal, where it was edited by several users who added themselves to the list. It was nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Hi878/Earth Cabal by Hi878 (talk · contribs), where there was an emerging consensus to delete, whereupon the user who moved the page returned it to its original name. The discussion was closed as speedy delete per {{db-userreq}}; however, the policy-violating page was not deleted.

In 2013, it was renominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Hirohisat/Earth Cabal and closed as "no consensus" by Salvio giuliano (talk · contribs), who responded to BDD (talk · contribs) at User talk:Salvio giuliano/Archive 62#MfD close of Earth Cabal:

Well, I had to disregard your opinion and Mangoe's, because you both argued that the article should be deleted per G4 and, yet, that's not an appropriate criterion, because the previous deletion was based on the page creator's request, as pointed out by Nyttend. So I was left with one delete and one keep; I thought I could relist the discussion, but, since it had been open for more than a month already and nobody seemed to pay much attention to it, I considered it pointless and closed as no consensus. If you believe I messed up, I have no objections to relisting it, though.

I believe Salvio giuliano's close is correct in that G4 does not apply because the original MfD was circumvented by the page mover's moving it back to its original title (User:Hirohisat/Earth Cabal) and merely deleting the redirect (User:Hi878/Earth Cabal).

But I believe the page should be deleted per WP:NOTSOAPBOX, WP:NOTMYSPACE and WP:UP#GAMES, as was the prevailing opinion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Hi878/Earth Cabal, which was cut short by the move. I also endorse the nominator's statement at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Hirohisat/Earth Cabal:

Why does this exist, as per the rules? It's not doing anything to help the encyclopedia, and they really are pointless. Also, things like this were deleted before. Preserving it isn't good for anytrhing, and we don't save similar stuff like the 'invisible cabal'. --Relisted.

I also endorse SmokeyJoe (talk · contribs)'s comment at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Hi878/Earth Cabal:

Delete, WP:NOTSOAPBOX/1. This is advocation of a political message not related to the project. The worth of the cause is irrelevant. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:37, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Yes, I closed it early, thinking it was long overdue, because the presence of a 22 April timestamp within the text of the nomination had caused a bot to misfile it under that date in the log. It was pointed out that it had not had the statutory 7 days, so I reopened it and put it in the right place in the log. Now the proper time has elapsed, so I can close it again - seems bureaucratic, but it's as well to keep to process. JohnCD (talk) 09:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
