I don't know for how long we should endure this. I never came across Wumbolo before. Please refer to previous discussion. Aidayoung ( talk) 06:28, 11 September 2018 (UTC) I was curious about Marsellus W. Apparently, his account was created for one single edit in 2017: removing a prod in an article on a book on South African gangs written by Jonny Steinberg [ [1]]. South African gangs are mentioned in passing in my article (I am a graduate student in religious studies and I focused more on Maltsev's theories of religion). I notice, however, that the book "The Number" is an account of South African gangs in competition with Maltsev's own books on the subject. Having removed the prod from the article on Steinberg's book, Marsellus never made any other contribution to Wikipedia, until he resurfaced pursuing deletion of this article. I am well aware that the motivations of Marsellus have nothing to do with the rules on deletion. However, since Marsellus accuses everybody arguing against deletion of being "affiliated" or having vested interests, a comment on his own interests IMHO is not out of topic Aidayoung ( talk) 07:40, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
