A new user posted a question in Farsi, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities&diff=prev&oldid=868738756&diffmode=source here]. Baseball Bugs deleted it 15 minutes later, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities&diff=next&oldid=868738756&diffmode=source here]. His edit summary reads "rvv" (revert vandalism), but Baseball Bugs has proved strangely reluctant to expand on that in our [[User_talk:Baseball_Bugs|discussion on the matter]] on his talk page. This was not vandalism, but a good-faith edit by a new user. Questions in foreign languages are rare here, but not exactly unheard of, and the correct response to such questions is not to delete them on sight but to engage with the user in an attempt to answer their question or steer them in a direction where it might be answered. Baseball Bugs has refused to revert or explain his deletion despite numerous requests for him to do so. --[[User:Viennese Waltz|Viennese Waltz]] 07:36, 15 November 2018 (UTC) |

Banned user thread
This thread was started by the banned user Vote (X) for Change. I deleted his original post on sight, but he reposted it, since when there have been some good-faith replies. What is to be done with the thread now - delete it, hat it or allow it to stand? --Viennese Waltz 06:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

A new user posted a question in Farsi, see here. Baseball Bugs deleted it 15 minutes later, see here. His edit summary reads "rvv" (revert vandalism), but Baseball Bugs has proved strangely reluctant to expand on that in our discussion on the matter on his talk page. This was not vandalism, but a good-faith edit by a new user. Questions in foreign languages are rare here, but not exactly unheard of, and the correct response to such questions is not to delete them on sight but to engage with the user in an attempt to answer their question or steer them in a direction where it might be answered.
