RfC: Status of G5

Which of these options is preferred for the status of CSD G5?

• Option 1: Keep G5 as is.
• Option 2: Add mention of general sanctions (and ARBECR) to G5.
• Option 3: Add general sanctions violations to its own speedy criterion.
• Option 4: Repeal G5 and incorporate its principles into the WP:BANPOL as "administrators are permitted, but are not required, to delete page creations made in violation of a ban, general sanction, or block".
• Option 5: Repeal G5 and do nothing else.

Background

WP:ARBECR is a sanction that is applied by both the Arbitration Committee and the community, with one of the permitted actions being deletion. There has been contention as to whether this is an extension of G5, but what is agreed is that these deletions will continue to happen per arbitration enforcement or community consensus, regardless on the wording of G5. This RfC aims to clarify the purpose of G5 and whether this case is included in G5, if G5 is adequate as is, or if its wording is controversial and better superseded by text in the ban policy.
