That... is quite weird. No edit reasons either, huh?

Nope, it just seems to be random stuff he doesn't like. I thought it was just negatives about the works but on Michael Jackson he was deleting things like Bishōnen and Mr. Fanservice.

Might be a vandal who's trying to slip in under the radar, might be someone doing clean-up and hitting tropes he shouldn't, as unlikely as that is, or it might be something else. Who knows. I think a mod will have to deal with this.

@TheInferno, this no edit reason can get a bit annoying at times when you are trying to work out what has been done and why. It'd be much better if the system required an edit reason before it let you save anything. Be easier tracking what gets done.

A lot of what he's deleting, at least from the edits I examined, is bile, natter, or YMMV stuff. The YMMV should be going to subpages, but it doesn't appear to. That's actionable, so I'll nuke him.
