Rationale
- Spammers are becoming more numerous, more determined, and more bold in their assertions that their promotional additions somehow constitute legitimate content.
- Editors rarely look beyond the last one or two edits before drawing conclusions and thus tend to believe the most outrageous claims, despite persistent, long-running patterns of abuse as long as they're buried deep enough in the spammer's edit history (i.e., more than the most recent edit or maybe (and only maybe), the one before that).
- Wikipedia:Proposed deletion deletes evidence of misbehavior, including reasons for deletion.
- It's labor-intensive to keep copying the same evidence from PROD to talk page to ANI to talk page, etc., etc., etc.
Thus, the Persistent Spammer Archive is born.
