Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Tanyatong[edit]

Per WP:Deny, this page really has very little information about this LTA and needs copy-editing a lot. -Lemonaka‎ 05:55, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as I am seeing 46 confirmed sock accounts and 4 suspected. Behavior patterns regarding this person should be noted for future attempts. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:19, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Knowledgekid87’s reasoning. Needs expansion, not deletion

Keep - Perhaps we need clearer guidelines about when a long-term abuse page is in order for a vandal, troll, or sockpuppeteer. The Deny Recognition essay is an essay and not a guideline. Although it is usually good advice, it is not in itself a reason to delete a description of a persistent vandal, and it appears that a description of the pattern of the vandalism by Tanyatong may be useful.

@Robert McClenon: Agreed, it should be made clear that something like a WP:LTA profile of someone with dozens of socks doesn't apply. It also says under WP:LTA though, "Don't use LTA unless needed". It's really only needed to help admin and editors identify banned/blocked editor behaviors. In some cases the person or people are obsessed with one topic such as China (ex: Chinese nationalistic trolls). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:17, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above. I also don't see needing copy editing as a reason to delete an LTA page. Skynxnex (talk) 23:52, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
