178:-I have to admit to a good deal of suspicion about this particular page being nominated for deletion by a brand new user. Even if this IS a good faith nomination, though, the page should be kept. The complaint that the page provides recognition to vandals is understandable, but the value it provides outweighs that. A true ban is a serious matter which leads to a number of restrictions and prohibitions on those who receive it. It only makes sense to have some kind of record if those restrictions and prohibitions are to be enforced. If users which are not banned are added to the list, they should be removed, but that kind of activity doesn't mean we should delete the page anymore than persistent vandalism means we should delete an article. --
240:. This page is the sole important point of reference for determining whether a user is banned, and why. We have resolved elsehwhere that it is not to be done by categories, or by information on user or user_talk pages. Log information is not suitable for regarding subtleties, conditions etc, and especially not when things change. "Ban"s are often fluid, changing or even poorly defined things, and tis page serves a need well. If there is misuse of the page, this misuse should be treated seriously, as per any disruptive behaviour. --

their edits. But enforcing a ban is not an obligation and considering the few hundred of banned users on this list, it's just impossible to remember their bans especially those who become inactive for a period of time. The only people who are active on this page are those who want recognition. Deleting this page certainly will solve that problem. Knowledge (XXG) needs to learn when to

policy makes a clear distinction between indefinitely blocked users and banned users. If people are getting confused on who should be added to this banned list, then it ought to be deleted. There are much important things to do on
Knowledge (XXG) than arguing who gets to be on this banned list.

This banned list used to be a selected list of banned users who really weren’t that troublesome. That was fine but today it has changed into logging usual sanctions onto this list. I understand that it is hard for editors to remember the ban of every user so the list helps to remind them to revert

and when to recognize users who are truly troubled. There is also confusion about who should be on this banned list. Some users think it’s okay to add de facto banned users to this list when in reality they never received a formal ban. This is blatant abuse of the banning policy. The banning

If people are getting confused as to what to put on the list, it needs better instructions, not deleting. Deeply suspicious of nominator - this was his fourth edit and he's quoting policies right left and centre. He's not
