A very well put together article of a freelance journalist, helped along by the subject himself ( JonathanCook ( talk · contribs)), but at the end of the day, unnotable. The basic information of Cook comes from his own website and nowhere else. I'm not sure this is a real person or just a pseudonym.

The gross violation of these editors of their bans has inappropriately suggested a level of consensus and shared understanding of editors in good standing to edit this AfD that exceeded any that may have existed. It therefore unfairly impacted this AfD, a point which I request the closer consider.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 02:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC) reply"AfD discussions about IP-related articles quite clearly falls under "participating in any community discussion substantially concerned with such articles". There is no grey area. An AfD is about as perfect of an example as you get for a "community discussion substantially concerned with such articles". ... If ArbCom or the community says that an editor is prohibited from editing or discussing certain articles or topics, that editors should not edit or discuss those topics. Shifting discussion over to user talk pages or other venues is at bare minimum a gross violation of the spirit of a topic ban. I, individually, consider shifting discussion to another venue as an unwelcome attempt to skirt the edges or jump through loopholes of the sanction. As far as I'm concerned, the confusion here is only arising from splitting hairs and trying to look for grey areas where they do not exist. The topic bans are perfectly clear and AfD is unquestionably included"
