It has become clear that there is no consensus for the

User:Amalekite. At least five people (Michael, Jack, Matt, Lisa and
myself) have expressed their opposition to it in no uncertain terms.
Several other people have expressed some reservations or ambivalence
towards the action. In my opinion summary banning of an account is only
appropriate in the case of undisputed vandals and trolls. If it turns out
that a summarily banned user is not, in fact, an undisputed vandal/troll
the ban on him or her should be lifted.

I said this privately and I will say it publicly. I support the
permanent block on Amalekite. He can edit Nazipedia all he wants now. In
case we all forgot, Wikipedia is about making an encyclopedia, not
providing a platform for every nutbag with an agenda to spill his
nonsense all over us. At risk of extending this thread beyond its
already unnaturally long life, I'll leave it at that.
