Wikipedia is not a web host for fantasy versions of Dancing with the Stars. Note that this editor has previously had material deleted for this same reason. Whpq (talk) 21:39, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
- The offending version was there for less than a minute. Is there some game at play? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:45, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- It's likely an attempt to evade scrutiny. After the implementation of WP:U5, I saw this behaviour appear in many of these fantasy reality game show pages. By doing this, they hope editors simply see a blank page and ignore it or it fails to be found in search results as the page is now hidden in the history. As the game progresses, the history is used as the base for a subsequent edit, saved, and then blanked again. there are web sites devoted to playing these games, and I suspect that this blanking behaviour has been posted as advice on those sites as a way to evade the deletion of these games being hosted on Wikipedia. -- Whpq (talk) 11:53, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
