User talk:Ryulong

Could you unprotect User talk:Ryulong? Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Ryulong was opened today but no notices can be left without using WP:RFED. I don't think potential gravedancing is a concern after so many years and if someone wants to leave them a message, why prevent it? I do not believe it is a standard practice to protect such pages but perhaps there are factors I am unaware of. Best regards, — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 03:11, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Wordsmith, B, Bbb23, DoRD, and Drmies: Pinging sysops who've left messages on the page since its protection in the hopes of expediting this request. — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 21:36, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Godsy: I avoided the issue and closed the MfD as Snow Keep.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:28, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all. Drmies (talk) 16:22, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see why you would need to leave a notification for somebody who hasn't edited for four years and is banned with no talk page access. They couldn't respond if they wanted to so it's a pointless exercise. I fail to see why someone would want to delete the parting comment of a long-term editor either but that's another matter. As for standard practice, those were far from standard times. I can't see any good coming from unprotecting the page unless and until Ryulong successfully appeals his ban (which I would encourage him to do if he's reading; four years is more than enough water under the bridge).
