Hi there - can you explain how this AfD could end in a delete? And why it ended early? When it ended, there was nothing here that indicated a consensus for Delete. Hope you can look again. Thanks. --DaveG12345 (talk) 10:44, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi, MBisanz. I'm concerned about the different results for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bandy World Championship 2009 squad lists and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bandy World Championship 2007 squad lists. I realize they were nominated separately and some people only commented on one, but it seems that arguments for either would apply to both. I'm also concerned about the "delete" result for the 2007 list; I found the delete arguments to be largely unsupported. Take Stifle, for instance, who merely listed a few numbers from the listcruft essay and never responded to my question asking how the lists were "unverifiable" or "original research". It's my understanding, that recommendations should be supported; shouldn't Stifle have explained in what way the lists were unverifiable? Powers T 14:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I was recommended to contact to you by user talk: Kingturtle. I'm trying to create my own signature, without '(talk)' being displayed in brackets. I've changed it back to default, but even when i've edited my signature, '(talk)' is still displayed...any ideas? Thanks. Whirl editing (talk) 15:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
You mentioned "Speedy deleted per CSD G6, non-controversial maintenance" as the reason for deletion of the QCubed article. It seems that the requests of the administrators have been fulfilled: with several rewrites, the article is no longer expert-oriented; it can be understood by a large community of web application developers. Did we (the QCubed framework contributors) misunderstand something? --Alex94040 (talk) 16:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- An argument about the article being Spam made by Fiddle Faddle (clearly, you and I are having this discussion here, so we're probably not blatant spammers - or we are, but we must be so determined that we spend hours discussing it) - Peridon started out as Delete because of "probably spam", but then switched to Keep. - LinguistAtLarge is the only person that suggested notability as an issue, but Peridon refuted it suggesting that there are "quite a few ghits" Considering the user base of QCubed, and the fact that we've rewritten the article multiple times to make it more compelling (we can certainly work on including more references), I, and the rest of the QCubed community, would like to ask you to reconsider. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex94040 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
QCubed is an extension of QCodo (which has a Wiki article), rather more of a continuation of QCodo (because it is a community driven project). We have an extensive community, just as much as QCodo possibly has. We have more members and more dedicated core-contributors than most php frameworks that already have a wiki article. I'm not sure how you determined our notability. We are more notable than most frameworks that already have a wiki article, some of them I haven't even heard of. Please rethink this deletion. JonKirkpatrick (talk) 18:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Article is clearly non-technical and suited for almost every audience. QCubed is a well-known PHP Framework which is a port of QCodo PHP framework. The deletion discussion also has a lot of "KEEP" statements. It was not correctly deleted.Article should be not be deleted.Reconsider.Marcosdsanchez (talk) 19:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I said that it would inevitably come up again, didn't I? ☺ But at least when the prior discussion comes up at Deletion Review, as also now seems likely, your closure won't be challenged for being rationale-free, as would otherwise have been the case. This is the benefit of providing a rationale in the closure. It's always a good idea to provide a rationale in the closure. From the looks of what is above, you'd probably have a much shorter and less busy talk page if you made it a habit. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 02:07, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
As it happens, I was tending toward a delete vote myself, but this closure seems odd. I count one keep vote and one delete vote. Arguably (and I have mixed feelings myself) the delete vote, however honestly expressed at the time, is rendered obsolete by later findings. Usually I'm no fan of extensions in the time given to AfDs (I tend to want to put them out of their misery), but this I think is just where it would be appropriate. Or if it isn't, then at least add a persuasive reason for your closure as deletion. -- Hoary (talk) 02:44, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to know how you concluded a consensus of "delete" on this above debate? Please advise. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC))
Hi. You closed the AfD of this as delete, but would you consider restoring the edit history of this and making it a redirect to TV ONE (Indonesia)? I think it would be worth merging the information as I did with List of programmes broadcast by QTV (Indonesia) (an AfD you also closed, but as a redirect) to QTV (Indonesia).

Hey. I have a few things to say. One, are you still a member at Wikipedia:WikiProject Shopping Centers? On the Template:Infobox shopping mall, I would like there to be a "logo" option added but it is protected. I have asked the community on the template's talk page (where 2 people had brought up the topic a few months earlier than me) and on the wikiproject talk page but no one has responded. There would be no harm done because it would be optional, only included if added to the template in the article. Could you please add this? Thanks. Chicken-7 talk 01:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello. Could you take a gander at OTRS ticket 2009012810027179 regarding the Bob Muran article? The original article was flagged as being a copyvio, however it has been asserted (, , ) that both the external site and the Wikipedia article were written by the same author. Unfortunately I am about clueless when it comes to OTRS (but want to learn more about the process). Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 18:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
I just want to say that, I don't believe the James matador page should have been deleted. The protests for the articles deletion comes from 2 individuals both: Coaster7 and camera123456, individuals that are frequent contributors to the Love Systems page, and Coaster7 individually created the Nick Savoy page. Love Systems and Nick Savoy are in direct competition with Mystery and James Matador's dating company the Venusian Arts. I believe that the article was posted for deletion in order to stifle the competition. I also agree that if the article reads to much like a sales ad, then it SHOULD be re-written, but an article that has been deleted because of competition is not right. James Matador has a lot of credible sources that were sited, and he is amongst the most well known figureheads in the seduction community, worthy of a wiki page just as much as Nick Savoy, if not more.

As you commented, it's not currently a very useful page. However, I feel my proposal for a bot would help, and would require very little work on the part of the WikiProjects. What do you think? (Probably best to paste on the BRFA, but I don't really care either way). - Jarry1250 (t, c) 11:46, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm confused by your closure for Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Assyrian_Christian_Stele. I didn't see a clear consensus - three people wanted to delete (counting myself), one wanted keep based on an assumption that the sources were correct (which they weren't), the creator of the page wanted to keep (but had no sources), and only two recommended redirect. More importantly, the crux of the whole AFD nomination was the violation of WP:OR which was never addressed. Give the lack of consensus and the failure to address the core reason for the AFD, how can this nomination be closed? Otebig (talk) 02:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your response to my suggestion on the RfC talk page for Arb enforcement . I am not clear on this at all in relation to my recent ban. Another editor took me to the arb-com noticeboard here: complaining that I had been edit-warring. I was banned that same day, without notice of the discussion until the decision had already been made. I did complain to the banning admin I was told that "isn't any requirement for notifying you of the discussion, or allowing you to participate." My reading of the sanctions led me to believe that there should at least have been a warning from an admin, as I read "Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision" as applying to this article but the banning admin refered to this warning given during my first week of editing at wiki some six months ago for an entirely different article, as acceptable warning. I did make my case at the admin's talk page but to no avail.
At any rate, I am not terribly upset about not being allowed to edit the page (and I am still allowed to edit the talk page) since most of my edits were immediately reverted anyway. But what has happened is that the article is further weighted on one side, and false material is allowed to remain in the article because some editors cannot be convinced that the material is false. Let me give just one example since it was mentioned as part of the reason for my ban. The article in question stated in a couple of places that Israel had admitted that it used white phosphorus "against civilians." That is not true. Israel has always claimed that it used wp only in a legal way, such as for illumination etc. For Israel to acknowledge that she used wp "against civilians" would be to admit to war crimes. There is no RS that says this, but rather the editors in question are misinterpreting what the references say.
There was no dispute resolution over that issue, or the issue of the inbalance of the photos, which is the main reason for the article ban. Shouldn't something have been done to actually get resolution on the issues rather than simply banning someone? I was told I did not seek consensus & compromise on the talk page but rather argued my perspective. This is not the case, as I did both. There are some 25-30 pages of archives and the banning was done in one day. It would have been impossible for the banning admin to have done a fair job researching. In fact, the banning admin could have been said to briefly acknowledge that his decision was influenced by the opinion of other admins, rather than the merits of the case.
Do you see a problem with the process here? Or is it just me? Tundrabuggy (talk) 16:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey MBisanz, just a quick note about closing BRFAs. When you add the {{subst:BT}} template, could you not sign after the status (approved, etc.) as it causes the template to fail to add the correct background colour/category, placing requests into Category:Wikipedia_recently_completed_bot_requests instead, a category which probably should be deleted.

Hello, I see you closed to Exaile deletion discussion. First, I believe that this was premature. There was significant argument made to keep; the discussion at least deserved a relisting to create consensus. Second, you say no specific sources were cited for retention... please read the discussion over. While I didn't give specific links, I showed a couple, and others backed them up. I do not see how the closure is justified. Estemi (talk) 09:31, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Dear MBisanz, I have voted against Mardetanha nomination and I appreciate if you read my comment there, whether you decide to vote (no matter if you agree with me or not).

The script I use automatically mentions that the history was deleted. To avoid any confusion, it's probably best if you delete a page prior to redirecting it to avoid any confusion or accusations. - Mgm|(talk) 11:31, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

This entry had been living a perfectly happy life until I made the (apparent) mistake of making some of my first edits as a contributor to Wikipedia by linking to it from a listing of beer cocktails. It seems completely out of the spirit (no pun intended) of this living document to delete it. This certainly deserves a review. I invite you to join me to enjoy one of these cocktails in person if you have some doubt about its history or following. Jerseybrewjunkie (talk) 00:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi MBisanz, I was wondering if you had any slots open for admin coaching. You can see the message I left on User talk:Balloonman for more, he declined since he's taking a break.

INre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reed Cowan... at the very least please userfy this one to User:MichaelQSchmidt/sandbox Reed Cowan. I really feel the deletes were made wiyhout concern to the additional improvements to the article. Notability was asserted and well sourced in Reliable sources independent of the subject. I understand you don't have time to look at everything, but the concerns of the delete votes were soundly addressed before I left for work today. I got home and poof... it was gone. What about takning a second look? Thanks, And with no aspersions cast to your good work, I think this should go to DRV, as the article was improved after Bongo's last WP:UGH. There were 2 deletes to an poorly sourced article and one "keep" from the guy who improved it markedly. Maybe a relisting? Best regards, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Err... he commented after ONE of my earlier rewrites... not the final rewrite. After Bongo's last comment, I realized he was focusing on a version that began with only the first assertion inre the awards, and might not have read further into the text. After he posted, and 25 minutes before your close, I had finished a hefty rewrite to bring ALL assertions of notability to the beginning of the article... with sources. In that interveneing 25 minutes, he did not comment on my having addressed his concern of "there is no other material claim to notability". Please look at the history... of how the article looked when he last commented at 6:12 and how it looked after I finished responding to his concerns at 19:56. Different. Stronger. Multiple assertions right out front. Different. Majorly so. But he never responded in the 25 minute span between last improvements and its deletion. Last version before his comment: diff. Vesrion after my last improvement: diff. Nice new sources too. If you still think I should have him take a new look at the one you userfied, fine... What do you advise? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Fair enough request. I will ask the nom and deleters to look at it again... though I already have a strong sense of what Bomgo's answer might be. However, WP:AGF and hope. I will remove te RDV tag on the article name. No sense getting carts before horses. If I do not get a response I will retag it. Thank you. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:40, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

This range belongs to Verizon. I think it's the Northeast United States, but I'm not sure. While dynamic, in my experience, the IP changes happen only once every few days, so you can block where you find it. --Raijinili (talk) 12:57, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
My IP address 68.164.185.103 was blocked. In my opinion /16 x 7 is too wide a net whatever your reasons. My ISP is Earthlink, so if this range covers Verizon as well, there you go.

The debate for Akane-chan Overdrive was closed by you on 06 February 2009 with a consensus to merge. It says merge, it doesn't say redirect, which is all Farix did, he didn't merge a damn thing. He is working in contravention of a posted vote, to further his ends when he blanked the page before the vote. The vote says we don't have to merge everything, but he didn't do anything, and reverted my actual merger which was the stated outcome of the vote. Now this is a WP:POINT violation, done in WP:bad faith. Please have a look. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
This would be why admins do not make content decisions at AFD closes (like what a Merge is, etc), so I really can't add more to this situation, but if using my talk page to discuss will help improve the article, please feel free to continue. MBisanz talk 19:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Please see Talk:List of blunders. It is my experience that often people vote an article to keep, but don't really do something to fix it.

Hello there,
I am the person who created the page for the artist, etc. - I believe you are the administrator who deleted the page? If so, can we please review this deletion?
I understand your comment about the majority of the links being from myspace - I had in fact put other links there which have been modified / deleted over the course of the years.
In fact, I also understand the fact that you say the article is biased, although I must say I only modelled it on other articles about singers, and would be willing to change the style - I just never thought it was necessary since the article had been on Wikipedia for 2 years, other people had contributed links and amendments, etc.
I work in A&R, and although Bridget Grace is no longer one of our artists (in our books), she is in fact a very important figure in the dance music world, she often goes to Detroit - where she works still with people such as the four Tops http://www.simonevitaleband.com/onlineshop/goinhome.html etc. - and so we would like all the people who enjoy her music to know a bit about her.
We consider it very impressive that considering that Pucci Dellanno is now a private individual, her music continues to be published, and mixed, and bought, and danced to, after more than 20 years from the first successes she had.
As I mentioned in the discussion about deletion, all you need is to enter "bridget grace music" or "bridget grace singer" or "aurora dellanno" in a search engine for pages and pages to come up showing either her current IT career or her music still being very much in the fore or house/dance scene.
I really feel that the page is no more and no less important than that dedicated, for example, to Ed Ball http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Ball_(musician) or Alan McGee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_McGee - both people who had an influence but are now retired from the music industry, but whose pages are not candidates for deletion.
Thanks.
Thom.

Hi MBisanz, if I recall, your name has come up before in the context of a technique to allow blocked editors to edit their own talk page and have that section appear on (for instance) ANI so that they could have their own input displayed within the main discussion. Am I dreaming about that, or do you have a specific technique?
My interest here is nothing to do with blocking, rather to do with transcluding specific sections of one talk page onto another page. If that's possible at all, I'd love to know how it's done. Thanks! Franamax (talk) 22:37, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Since you closed the above, I thought you might be interested in this and this. The user seems to be unwilling to accept the consensus at AfD. – The Parting Glass 08:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
MBisanz, please see Template_talk:Val#The_final_solution. User:Dragons flight writes that he “posted a correction” for {{val}}. I independently saw this bug on Kilogram. Note the last two lines of the second paragraph in Kilogram. Note too, the last lines on the first and third paragraphs in the Carbon‑12 section. This is due to a lack of close-spans (</span>). Since this span-based bug persists after a purge, I assume that Dragon flight’s “posting” of a correction requires action on your part to make it happen. Greg L (talk) 23:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I have two questions about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hometowned:
--Explodicle (T/C) 15:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Why do think that the image is unfree? I labored two hours over it to make sure it was perfect. I used the pre-defined shapes, textures, colors, gradients, brushes, etc. in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4. I thought this all up myself. The Chi Emeralds are MY invention, and you can't say otherwise (without it being false, of course). Therefore, I modified the Copy Right section and removed the template. Besides, I'm only using to decorate my user page, so, of all the things on Wikipedia, this is one of the least important. Now, if I was using it in an article, then that would different story. So, please leave me alone, and let me decorate my user page as I see fit. Thank You. PieMan.EXE MyPage | Exchange Words With Me 19:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Per WP:DRV, could I ask you - qua the closing admin - to take a second look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bristol Indymedia? The nom was closed with a finding of no consensus, but it seems to me that there was a consensus to delete or redirect. There were four votes for that result; true, there was a week keep vote and a keep vote, but I don't think they defease the consensus, individually or in sum. The keep vote by user:Jezhotwells was predicated on his promise to provide one additional reliable source supporting notability; even if one more source would make all the difference, however, it was not tendered at any time in the five days between Jeremy's vote and the closing of the nomination. The week keep vote fares little better. user:JulesH offered a strong argument for keeping an article that had not been nominated: she observed that the organization had been involved in a potentially notable event, but such involvement is not a valid reason to keep an article about an organization. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 22:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mbisanz,
I am the person who created the page for Eleazar (painter) - I believe you are the administrator who deleted the page, aren’t you? If so, can we please review this deletion? First of all, it’s necessary to say that I only understand a little English. Apart from that, I want you to know that Eleazar is a notable painter because he is known in Spain, specially Barcelona, and in other European countries like Switzerland (specially the canton of the Jura). I enclosure a selection of his Curriculum Vitae with his lasts exhibition. In addition, you have to know that Eleazar has been selected by the FIFA in representation of Spain for the exhibition that will take place on the occacion of the South Africa 2010 World Cup; a exhibition that will cross 32 countries around the world.

Hi there. You deleted this article a while back as a result of an AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Péter Gulácsi (2nd nomination)).
The article has now been (correctly) re-created as he has now played some professional top-level matches. However, the old version of the article contained a load (well some at least) of good sources and quotes that would enhance the new version. I was wondering whether this data was still available, and if so if you could restore it to my user space (User:Ged UK/Péter Gulácsi would be fine). I know that it's possible to restore stuff that's been deleted, but i don't know whether that is possible after an article has been restarted.

I have a question about the Leadership University (leaderu.com) deletion. 2 of the 3 votes to delete came before I located and added an article that appeared in the Christian Post. The article was entirely about Leadership University and would seem to satisfy the demand for notability from a third party source. Did you notice that? I only had time to go through about 200 of the 38,000 Web pages linking to leaderu.com and noticed that there are a number of published books that site leaderu.com in their references (including books on both sides of the intelligent design debate).--Sixtrojans (talk) 00:07, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I just wanted to let you know about an AfD you closed today. The article I put up for deletion was Until the End of Time, however you have chosen to close the debate by re-directing the article to a Genesis album! Understandable mistake I know, because there were a lot of Genesis articles and Carey articles up for debate at the same time....didn't try and fix the problem myself as I wasn't sure if it was your intention to delete or re-direct the Carey article. Thanks! Paul75 (talk) 05:33, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
I saw you closed some of the AfD's for individual orcas with decisions to merge into Captive orcas. The article on Captive orcas in fact was created as a merge of all these individual articles, then I added some introductory content and compressed down the individual orca sections, dropping repetition and genealogy details which seemed a bit too much for Wikipedia. So I think the individual articles are already merged, just need to be changed into redirects. I did that for two of them, then wondered if I was moving too fast? Aymatth2 (talk) 15:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for resolving the last set of orca entries. Next question is how to improve the article. There is a lot more trivia than I would like - and maybe it should be split. But easier now there is one lump of text, not many. Aymatth2 (talk) 03:17, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
You are credited as having deleted 2008 Kenosha helicopter crash.
A reason for keep was cited as The reasons to keep this aren't too strong but it does meet the criteria under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AIRCRASH#Notability The crash was a helicopter owned by Midwestern Air Services, a charter company. The criteria to keep is "It is an accident which involves a scheduled or charter air carrier. An occurence that results in serious injury or loss of life is an accident by definition." If we want to modify the criteria, then that's a discussion that should occur on that WP page, not this AFD. So my gut feeling is to delete but my careful consideration of the criteria says it's a keep. Therefore, it's a keep
According to policy (and this was calmly and cooperatively discussed), the article could be kept, policy reconsidered, and the article later deleted after (if) policy is modified.
Help me understand why violation of policy was the preferred method. Was it possible that the shear number of votes made your decision?
Part of the reason to understand the process is that I want to create an article that will not be deleted. My proposed article is an aviation article and does meet the policy criteria to keep. However, if policy is violated, keeping is not a given.
Please do not merely say "fuck off, get off my back, pass the buck to deletion review". Discussion is more important that the fate of this Kenosha article which I was not interested in enough to edit myself. Chergles (talk) 15:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Please don't say "go to deletion review" because that requires a lot of effort to defend the article. I'm not so sure I want to defend that particular article. It's almost like a lawyer defending an axe murderer.
Sometimes, policy is made with a specific example in mind and a new case doesn't fit the policy. Other times, people have a different opinion than the policy and want their opinion upheld. This may be the case that a keep fits policy and people have a different idea in mind (i.e. only big airlines, like British Airways and United Airlines count). Chergles (talk) 19:52, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your discussion. I will not go to DRV because I have doubts about that article. It was a bit unclear what to do when consensus goes one way and policy seems to go another. Since it's a very obscure airline and not even a scheduled airline, I have little enthusiasm to try to get the article undeleted. Please don't misunderstand and think I dislike you or am arguing with you. It was just a situation where the consensus and policy seemed to conflict somewhat.
With that behind us, we can joke about what would happen if consensus was to remove ArbCom and Jimbo Wales' authority. A revolt, I think that would be. At which time, they would exercise their control over the computer servers and quell the rebellion! Chergles (talk) 20:58, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
I understand you took the decision to delete the article Web 3.0 I am struggling to understand why? I'm reasonably new to wikipedia, so I am unsure how to go about the deletion process. As far as I can see from the explanation it was because of potentially three things: 1. It was not well written, whilst this maybe true it seems unnecessary to delete it for this reason. 2. That it doesn't exist yet. Granted, but, the concept DOES exist. The page was about a concept, not a physical entity as far as I understood it. 3. It was stated it had "no defined meaning" this is simply not factual. The truth is that there are several different meanings, and interpretations to the word... surely it would be better to have an article that (if better written) explained these different meanings, and contexts. This can only happen if there is an article to start with. Personally I had found the original article, while somewhat confused, an excellent starting resource to find out more. I'd like to see it restored. I am posting here as you were the deletion admin, as I understand it, if I am mistaken or if I need to speak to someone else, please feel free to pass me on. Thanks for your time. --Daniel Cull (talk) 18:47, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks again for all your help. It seems that its already a closed issue there, and a solution has been found that will incorporate the last restore into another wikipedia page, reason given: because it is an important term and is widely searched.

Hi. I was doing something at AfD, and I ran across the discussion regarding Lsongs, and I posted a comment to the discussion. I noticed that you closed the discussion as a no consensus...
Could you please explain your reasoning behind that close? Do you give weight to the argument that a strong precedent has been set for including articles of that nature regardless of notability, or do you feel that its notability is demonstrated, or was it something else?
Just to let you know, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your decision. I've been away from Wikipedia a lot for the last 8 months or so, and I'm wondering if the landscape has changed while I was away, and maybe I'm out of touch with current AfD culture. -GTBacchus(talk) 19:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

This page had a "Mark for Deletion" and also a "Flag to Keep". Yesterday I had a rewrite to publish, but since it had also had other's work on it, I has asked Sandstein, who flagged it for deletion, if the rewrite was still required. I had to await his answer on arising this morning, as I guess we are living in different time zones. So was a little surprised to find it gone this morning, still inside the 5 day discussion period and unable to input the rewrite that Sandstein had confirmed was still required.

Hi, I'm a bit suprised that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Myer stores as a delete - by my reckoning (albeit as someone who voted to keep the article) there was no consensus either way. While AfDs aren't a poll, there were 10 keep votes and 11 delete, with both sides arguing that WP:NOTDIR supported their position. The deletion discussion wasn't helped by the very poor quality of the original AfD nomination which provided no detail on the nominating editor's concerns.

Thanks! You decided to keep the entry Forestle based on WP:SNOW. Could you please explain this guideline; I read the wiki page but do not fully understand what it means in the current case. Does it mean that the case FOR keeping the entry was very clear from the discussions? This might be particularly important as the Forestle entry early had a speedy deletion tag that was removed after a short presence. Second, the notability issue is still marked at the top of the Forestle entry page, although essentially every important aspect of Forestle has external references that in my view are fully suitable. I would very much appreciate your help. --Subwaynyc (talk) 21:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Uhm, you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pre channel almost two days early (28 days in February...). Relisted: 00:01, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Closed: 04:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC) This was not a clear consensus deletion and it was currently split about 50/50, especially as the nom withdrew the AfD (withdrawn long before the first relist), which put it at an exact 50/50 split. There was also a source from an actual book, and not a "self published" book. Please double check. Thanks. Tothwolf (talk) 04:32, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
<insert break here>
I thought about this and decided I should clarify some things for the record as I still consider this a bad close. There just wasn't any way to consider this AfD as anything other than no consensus. I would take it to DRV if not for the fact that DRV doesn't seem to be worth the trouble and would otherwise take up a lot of time I'd rather spend working on other articles.
Here is a breakdown of the AfD itself (nomination:withdrawn, keep:3, delete:4):
If this wasn't "no consensus" then it should have been closed as a delete instead of being relisted twice. Further discussion did not help with consensus and obviously did not help improve the article as it is now flagged as deleted.
If you have the time, you may wish to see this message I left to you on Commons: When there is 199 outstanding flickr images and images have been waiting to be reviewed for 1 full week...something is seriously wrong here.

Please reconsider deletion of Jack Talbert, discussed [here]. Of the two editors who voted Keep, one clearly did not read the article or review sources (this is easily determined by observing that his reason for voting keep was faulty; he stated that Talbert was an inventor, a claim neither Talbert, nor the article makes), and the other was Talbert himself, the author and subject of the article (conflict of interest). Neither of the sources establish notability, if closely examined.--E8 (talk) 03:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you just deleted that article (thank you, by the way), but Guinea pig warrior (talk · contribs), the creator of that article, has decided to move User:HK22/Unnamed Ratchet & Clank Future Sequel (created by HK22 (talk · contribs)), in which I prodded earlier but the user userfied to the userspace) to Ratchet & Clank Future: (TBA) after you deleted it. I'm thinking that this is more of a dispute resolution issue (a user wanting to de-userfy another user's article into the mainspace against that user's wishes) than an admin issue (I did inadvertently tag for G4 here but reverted here after discovering what happened. I don't know if admin help is needed here, but since you were the deleting admin, I thought I would let you know. Thank you, MuZemike 08:15, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Wait a minute. You are the final arbiter? Despite there being what I think were reasonable compromises to explore, you can simply say, 'Delete'? I'm not comfortable with that. I note that you wrote an article on a bowling alley, which I'll assume is something you consider notable. I don't accept that. In fact, I think it's absurd. I'm hoping the administrator review process is considerably less capricious than this. Brrryce (talk) 19:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Can you re-open the AFD and extend its duration? There is no consensus to merge the content into heavy metal music: two editors suggested that but after I made a reply, one of them has changed his mind into delete. I can only assume the other editor has not returned to the AFD and seen my response. In any case, that means only one editor thinks it should be merged into heavy metal music, another editor thinks its should be merged into black metal, another thinks it should be kept while two editors (including myself as nominator) think it should be deleted. --Bardin (talk) 08:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I've mostly finished sifting out the prods from the red links list although I'm not ready to have them all restored just yet. I'd like to have them restored slowly so I can have an updated version ready for each article as they are restored. I was able to pull copies of this batch of prodded articles from deletionpedia so I have copies to work with.
What troubles me is while going though all of these links for the final sort, I noticed a pattern and upon further digging discovered a connection with a much larger issue. It doesn't have anything to do with the admin who deleted them (he was just deleting expired prods) but I have some concerns about the person(s) who prodded them. I think this is going to warrant further investigation and I'm requesting help in sorting out this mess. I'd been absent from Wikipedia for a long time until this last year for personal reasons and I really don't know who to contact now since things on Wikipedia seem to have changed a lot since I was originally active. The very reason I returned to Wikipedia last year is I noticed articles were disappearing from the Internet Relay Chat categories. I initially noticed articles were disappearing while I was working on fixing a bug in some software. I had been using one article as a quick reference and when I happened to try to pull it up again, it had been deleted. It has taken me this long to finally get to the bottom of this mess and what I've found really disturbs me. I hope you can bring this to the attention of the correct people so we can right the problems and make sure this doesn't happen again.
There were at least 14 articles that I can find that were mass-tagged with a {{prod}} template in this batch. There may have been others but these are the articles I could find going by the red links that I removed while reworking the navigation templates. These are not all of the IRC articles that disappeared but these are the articles I can easily connect to the same mass-prod.
Here is the list that I have so far. I'm not ready to have them all restored just yet but I would like you to restore one that I'm just about done reworking which I'll mention below.
Two of the 14 articles are already back on Wikipedia. You restored AbleNET last week and Byxnet was recreated from what appears to be a snapshot version by one of its editors (I guess he didn't know how to contest a prod). AbleNET's talk page currently needs a history merge, Byxnet itself needs a history merge for GFDL compliance, and Byxnet also needs a talk page restoration.
AustNet appears to have gone though an AfD so I doubt you can do much with this one yourself but maybe other admins can get involved and help fix this larger mess.
IRCHighway for some reason isn't showing up in the deletion logs. I'm not sure what's going on with that one. Its redirect still shows up though and I was able to pull a copy of the article itself from deletionpedia.
The article I'd like to have restored first is Abjects. I believe this is the one that kicked off this mass-prod. As you were already aware, AbleNET was deleted outside of the rules for a {{prod}} since it had already gone though an AfD. It also had plenty of references and clearly was a notable topic even if the article was (and really still is) in need of major attention. (I'm currently trying to help the other editor who asked to have AbleNET restored clean up the references section and include {{cite}} templates.)
Abjects contains a section and a reference linked to a court case initiated by Hal Turner against 4chan.org, 7chan.org, Ebaumsworld.com, NexisOnline.net, Abjects.com, and John Does 1-1000. This alone more than made Abjects a notable article even though like AbleNET, it was poorly written and needed major work.
After I discovered the Hal Turner connection and court documents, I started digging deeper into online postings made by Hal Turner on a number of fringe sites where he posted and discovered what seems to be a loose connection with this mass-prod of IRC articles. It appears that one or more supporters of Hal Turner or someone somehow connected with this group decided to try to rid Wikipedia of IRC-related articles. Nothing firm was stated that I saw but there was a general unhappiness within his group of supporters over the information available on Wikipedia. I haven't checked the edit logs of the other IRC network articles just yet but I'm wondering if the rest of the Internet Relay Chat networks were similarly targeted and prodded. If this is the case, I would expect that the Rizon article would have also been targeted as it just so happens to be the home of 4chan.
In any case, this mess is a bit overwhelming and I'm requesting assistance in trying to sort it all out. I can rewrite and improve the articles themselves but I feel that I'm reaching my limits on digging into the larger issue. Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I was curious if the page I recently authored was still up for deletion. It has been put up twice for discussion and I have noticed that no one in the community has objected to the article. I wanted to get your thoughts on if there were any revisions that needed to be made to make it Wikipedia worthy.

Can you explain to me how canvassing clearly happened? Which on of these did I violate? I used limited scale, a neutral message, audience was non-partisan, and it was done in the open. although several people said Levin was not notable as a scholar, no one discussed the issue that I raised that perhaps he should not be judged as a scholar but as a therapist. You also said that I attacked people. Where in the deletion review did I attack anyone? Mwalla (talk) 21:25, 6 March 2009 (UTC)mwalla

The discussion for the AfD on this article was closed by you with the comment "The result was no consensus." Since I voted and argued to keep the article, this is fine with me as the net result is to keep. But I'm wondering how you can say there was no consensus??? The majority of people who took the time to comment voted to "keep". Proxy User (talk) 02:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Following the result of this AfD discussion which you closed as "keep", the nominator chose to redirect the page. This redirect was contested, and the nominator redirected again with the summary: "the consensus was NOT to keep the article. in any case, redirecting an article is not a matter for AfD.". While technically true that AfD does not have authority over redirects, I believe forcing this action is contrary to the spirit of your AfD close. Your views on this matter would be appreciated.

While referencing U.S. Term Limits I came across a red link for Eric O'Keefe. I know he had a Wikipedia page before hand, so upon further investigation, I see that you removed his page. I would like to know why?
This person played a large role in one of the most influential political movements in recent history. During the 1990's numerous U.S. States adopted term limits for elected officials. O'Keefe was instrumental in the success of this movement. He also published a book that received high praise from Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman.
It would be a disservice to users of Wikipedia to not have access to biographical information on O'Keefe. I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision to delete his page and bring back the information of an individual whose work, agree or disagree, has played a substantial role in our political system.
I am puzzled as to why all reference to Stellar Crisis has been removed from Wikipedia.
Stellar Crisis was the first browser based game on the web. It was listed in the list of multiplayer brower games. [List_of_multiplayer_browser_games] and as every game in that list has a reference page there was also one for Stellar Crisis.
I can see that some attempt was made to validate the information on that page however although links to the web sites serving that game and the yahoo user group were given it is surprising that no query was sent to any of the three server sysops. (There's a term you don't hear anymore; sysop.)
The Silver Dart was the first airplane flown and has historic significance. There is only one copy made for the 100th aniversary. The validity of this plane & it's flight is validated through the people of the area and notes of the developers. This is the same type of material that validates Stellar Crisis. If I interview the old guys where would I be able to get it published. The magazines are dying. We put it in Wikipedia.
Stellar Crisis has historic significance. It is unfair to remove it.
Attempts to use the wayback machine which was only started in 1996 see FAQ to verify existence of a site for 1993 seems ineffective however it can validate back to 1998. The archive shows sites active in Dec 12, 1998 and 1999 If you wish to maintain historical accuracy adding the phrase "claims to have launched in 1993" would not be unreasonable. Deletion is!
You appear to have found the article and although it gives only a cursor reference to Stellar Crisis. Publicizing a free game is significant in an advertiser paid magazine. Do you consider the stellar-crisis room web site to be published or gamestats.com from 1999 or on everything2
The following instruction page available on sourceforge is dated as "Revised 5/5/97" and other documents on sourceforge present the year as 1992 although the source code for version 2.9 shows 1996.
The list of servers is available at servers and on the front pages at the links above for 1998, 1999.
I'll dig around and see what other references I can get to validate the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strider22 (talk • contribs) 06:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Why was this active game removed from the browser based games list? This is even more puzzling.
Strider22 (talk) 03:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
First I should acknowledge that although I saw and contributed to earlier page versions, I did not see the article upon which you based your decision.
As I read the policy it indicated that I should discuss with you, the deleter, first. Are you simply saying you won't change your mind and don't want to discuss this or is my reading of the policy inaccurate and I need to progress to an undeletion request?
Stellar Crisis is at least as notable as The Continuum and KDice. I'm not looking at further examples as this isn't a competition. If it is your decision, should I prepare an article for your review? Strider22 (talk) 06:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I wandered across your post to Ed Poor's talk page regarding User:JasonR's access level. This may have already been answered, but I don't see it here...
JasonR was an employee of Bomis before Wikipedia took off, and he did some programming work for Wikimedia and was granted rights for doing a few specific tasks in software management. This was before teh wiki had graphics or any sort of popularity. To my knowledge he no longer works for the foundation or Wikia.

So I logged in this morning, saw the RfA talk page, saw the RfdeR, and thought, "How long until Jimbo steps in?" Sure enough, didn't take much more than my twelve hour shift. I agree with you that it was supposed to be a theoretical debate but damn, that ball got ran with. Good job starting the discussion though, now we have the precedent of "There seems to be an incorrect assumption and undercurrent here, though, which is some notion that the community has the sole and sovereign right to determine who is given the admin bit. This is not true, has never been true, and will never be true." I've been waiting to read that for a long while. Good stuff, IMO, came out of this though it will be a long while to sort out the pieces. 99.206.202.180 (talk) 06:10, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
I see the page I authored was deleted by you. I do need a question answered though, why does one person saying "delete" constitute deletion? Apparently sources are irrelevant according to you and wikipedia.

Thanks for all your work in AfD and RfD!!! §hawnpoo 23:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC) |
Hello Matt. You survived a trial of your own process! Here's a few advantages of your system:
I wonder if the threshold for filing a case could be made higher. Even an WP:RFC/U needs two people to certify. If you were truly abusing admin powers, wouldn't at least two people be mad at you? Asking the filer to have at least 600 edits would be another idea. I notice that the people to whom admin recalls are advertised get grumpy if they think a minor issue has been treated as grounds for de-adminship. Making it slightly harder to file a request could be beneficial to them as well as you. (Even if your scheme put higher standards on the filer, anyone could still file a conventional de-adminship proceeding, so nobody would be disenfranchised from recalling you).
In your recall form, what is the purpose of the heading 'Editors who agree with filer'? It seems that only the votes of administrators will count towards a recall. Is your form intended as a place for anyone to add comments and discussion, or do you just want the signatures of the five admins who support recall? EdJohnston (talk) 02:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with your closing of this AfD as "no consensus" rather than "delete" (despite your closing of the related Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clare Butterfield as "delete"). I've also seen a previous statement of yours that you don't actually look at articles before you close AfDs on them, which seems a rather cavalier way to go about the matter.

Can you please tell me how either of these two AfDs were keep? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music on Console, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noatun (media player).
So these closes look like simple vote counting, not any attempt to judge whether the conversation addressed lack of policy and guideline required inclusion criteria. If something is nominated for deletion because for lacking notability, and the commentators cannot show notability, the subject article should be deleted. Miami33139 (talk) 20:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering about your editorial decision on the Communitychannel AFD page.It seemed to me (admittedly new here) that the notability had been established, and the consensus was "keep" or "keep and rename." There were a few delete recommendations, some from very early in the page creation process. Also, I thought that there was precedent in terms of other vloggers and their pages. Anyway, if the decision is "no consensus" then what happens next? Disclosure: I was partially responsible for adding to the page. Thank you.----aaftabj-- (talk) 00:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I believe that the subject AfD was improperly closed as a delete due to the fact that the original nomination requested the article be redirected to Édouard Ferlet, not deleted, and should have been WP:SK notwithstanding the fact that the original nominator subsequently changed his/her position to delete. I would like to request that the article be recreated as a redirect to Édouard Ferlet. I would WP:BB and do it myself, but I just want to make sure I'm not running afoul of WP:DEL before doing so.
