George Willaim Herbert, While I understand your concerns about "thougthcrime" the only precedent that might exist here is that a page created by a banned user through proxy was deleted. Pages created by banned users can be speedy deleted under [[WP:CSD#General_criteria]] general criteria #5. Discussion about a proposal isn't verboten (and in fact on one of the the original threads started by Resid Gulerdem there is indeed a very lively ongoing discussion). Hope that helps you to better understand this.
I understand the policy, but the effect is apparently to limit that discussion to Wikien-L and not on WP itself.
Is that the (big picture) right thing to do?
Would Raphael paraphrasing the whole WP:OURS page instead of just cutting and pasting it get around the current GFDL issue, or is the very existence of a WP:OURS page forbidden forever now since Resid got himself banned, requiring a retitle as well? If Raphael retitled and paraphrased/rewrote from scratch the proposal, would that still be banned in your interpretation?
Again, this commentary is NOT any kind of support for WP:OURS. I'm just uncomfortable with how the proposal's being treated at the moment.
