Hello! I see that you declined the request for speedy deletion for Typhoon Yagi. I was the one that made the request. There are several Typhoon Yagi's throughout time, but the one that formed this year is very significant compared to the other ones and warrants a move. There was a discussion on the Typhoon Yagi (2024) talk page about moving the article to Typhoon Yagi because the 2024 typhoon was the only one that caused any significant impacts. The discussion can be found here, where there's a clear consensus on moving the article. I was not involved in the discussion, but I did close it per WP:NAC. I was not able to move Typhoon Yagi (2024) to Typhoon Yagi because of the existence of the redirect. Are you able to delete the Typhoon Yagi redirect with this reason?

- @INeedSupport: OK, I'll make the move. For future reference, it would have helped to have mentioned the discussion when making the deletion request. JBW (talk) 21:10, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- @INeedSupport: Oh dear. I see that you did mention it, and somehow I failed to notice. My sincere apologies. JBW (talk) 21:12, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- You’re good. Thank you! INeedSupport :3 21:41, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- I messed up moving Talk: Typhoon Yagi (2024) to Talk: Typhoon Yagi and I can't seem to fix it. Can you fix it please? Thank you! INeedSupport :3 21:53, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- @INeedSupport: I have moved it. I hope I have done it correctly. JBW (talk) 22:00, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like User:HurricaneEdgar beat you to it by one minute. Due to this, the talk page is a redirect to itself, and the contents is gone. Are you able to revert that? Sorry for giving you a lot of trouble! INeedSupport :3 22:07, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- @INeedSupport: Hell. I hate situations like this. I find it can be really difficult to trace through the history of the various moves and deletions and make sure you know exactly what is what, so that I restore the correct version. However, I have once again tried to put it right, and once again I hope this time I have got it right. Unfortunately I am now out of time, so if it's still wrong I'm afraid I won't get a chance to put it right for quite some time. 🤞 JBW (talk) 22:18, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Incidentally, the kind of problem caused by User:HurricaneEdgar and me trying to do the same thing at the same time couldn't happen with editing a page, because i would have been stopped by an edit conflict, but unfortunately there's no protection against a move conflict. JBW (talk) 22:22, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's all good now! Thank you so much for your help! Sorry for giving you a lot of trouble! INeedSupport :3 22:36, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi JBW, I would like to build an article for English footballer Callum Reynolds, who's playing in the EFL (professional football) for the first time following Bromley's promotion. I believe it's time to create an article page for him, but it says it requires admin access to be created, can you please unprotect it so we can create the article? I have several sources, from clubs that he played for (Bromley, Dagenham, Barnet, Aldershot, Boreham Wood), as well as independent sources such as this BBC article and this. Thank you ChampsRT (Profile • Talk) 07:06, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @ChampsRT: I think you should ask Jo-Jo Eumerus, who protected the article title. I see that Jo-Jo Eumerus said at the time of protection that the article should not be recreated without a deletion review; they may or may not still think that. JBW (talk) 08:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi JBW, I did ask Jojo about this issue, and he was not sure if those sources I found are enough, see here for more details ChampsRT (Profile • Talk) 11:19, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @ChampsRT: OK, fair enough. I see that Jo-Jo Eumerus said that the closing administrator may not be the best person to ask, and that is a reasonable point.
- I have had a look at the sources you have given above. I'm afraid none of them looks to me as though it goes any significant way towards establishing notability according to Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The BBC pages you link to are just news reports of signings, and not substantial coverage of him. In fact nothing I have seen suggests that he satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. (To avoid any doubt, I am describing my impressions relating to the notability guidelines, not my own opinion. I am far from being a great fan of the notability guidelines.) On the whole my advice is that any article about him would be likely to go the same way that the previous ones went, so any work on it would be wasted. However, if despite that you still wish to try, I suggest creating a draft and then taking it to Wikipedia:Deletion review. If you do create a draft you are welcome to ask me to look at it and express an opinion. JBW (talk) 14:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks JBW ChampsRT (Profile • Talk) 00:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Could you review his unblock request? Needs a fresh perspective and insight. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:13, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: Done 😖 JBW (talk) 19:27, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but thanks/ -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:40, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
