:::Yes, but it's the same sysop who hands out the 5 year block & deletes the page. If this is to be retained, it should include language such as, "''vandals who have been blocked indefinitely (or for 5 years) after a review process may be subject to having their user and user talk pages deleted''", but nobodies given a reason for deleting the page, to my knowledge.  [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 23:08, 18 July 2011 (EDT)

::::OH now I understand. I'm certainly fine with removing it; to be honest I'm not sure if it really does much harm (if a sysop disagrees with the block he can always restore the user and user talk pages), but besides for saving a modicum of space I don't think there was ever any reason for deleted the pages. I have no opinion as to whether its kept or not.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:14, 18 July 2011 (EDT)

Rob, for those of us who are not admins, it's really hard for us to opine.  I do know that Wikipedia does indefinite blocks for user accounts, but might block an IP for a short set time.  The only comment I would have is that the blocking rules be predefined, but it seems like it is already here.  If people get blocked for a liberal point of view (I don't check the block log so I wouldn't know), I would think here that's fair game.
