User:Abu badali repeatedly tags non-free images for deletion even when a fair use justification exists and has been confirmed as being in compliance with Wikipedia guidelines by all interested parties who have discussed as such on the page. In at least one case, he deleted all of the source justification on a page and listed it for speedy deletion, as a minor edit, and the image later had to be undeleted by an administrator (Jord's request for undeletion, response).

When other Wikipedians question these activities, User:Abu badali has undertaken wikistalking and harrassment of the complaintants (see here for an example of him doing it to on admins talk page) and mass-tagged all of those users images for deletion.

As a result of these activities, an RfC was started re: User:Abu badali approximately six months ago. User:Abu badali has refused to respond to this RfC despite being aware of it since at least 19 December 2006 when he edited his user page to mock it.

We request that User:Abu badali be banned from editing for a period of time and his activities monitored after that period to ensure he does not continue his unacceptable activity.
