It has been brought to my attention that the Timeline of asexual history page was started by JaneSwifty, who apparently was a sock of Dante8. I did not know this. Clearly this page is important, as are all the pages that user created. Clearly, though, this is a classic example of WP:EVASION. So, since I don't want this page to be swiped down in what would be a completely justified deletion, per EVASION, would you mind preemptively deleting the Timeline of asexual history page and I will come in right behind you and recreate the page myself with all the same information so that it is not an EVASION?

I know this has been done before in rare instances, but I put alot of work in this one and I don't want to see it all lost because of a sock from 3 years ago. Thanks in advance for your help. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 07:49 on April 17, 2020 (UTC) • #StayAtHome

I didn't see your username for a long time, and I simply assumed we were working in different areas. Just saw the newsletter, and realised that you actually have not edited for a long time. I hope you are doing well, and come back soon. Regards, —usernamekiran • sign the guestbook • (talk) 20:00, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
