Why the delete?[edit]

There is no record of contributions (spam or otherwise) associated with this username. Could we please have a little explanation before we do any deleting or blocking? -- Mythigator (talk) 09:51, March 9, 2014 (EDT)

I only delete and blocking if the account turns out to be a spam account. We can't be sure before we see that./AleWi (talk) 10:56, March 9, 2014 (EDT)
I don't really know if this account is a spam account or not. In fact, I normally put the {{Speedy Delete|Spam Account}} template when 2 or more accounts are created simultaneously or straight after the previous one. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 16:32, March 9, 2014 (EST)
They don't get the "block & delete" treatment until they're actually caught spamming. Simultaneity of account creation isn't sufficient grounds. You could actually be hanging the "Speedy delete" tag on an innocent party who happened to be so unfortunate as to create an account at the same time as the spammer miscreant scum was at it again. Therefore, please don't put the {{Speedy Delete|Spam Account}} template on an account unless and until you see it spamming. Thanks. -- Mythigator (talk) 19:01, March 9, 2014 (EDT)
