[WikiEN-l] Attack Site Wars, Episode VII... The Return of the Essjay

[Anirudh]

the media coverage was because Wikipedia is a famous website, Essjay was
not, is not. He came into limelight only because of the controversy created
on the website.

Would this piece be of any value after 10 years? I think not.

It is a serious BLP violation and should be deleted. Imagine something like
this having repercussions for the rest of your life for something which you
did in your teens.
