Hi. I hope you are doing well.
You recently deleted Adam Bader after an AfD. That article was in my watchlist, but cant remember why. If it is not much of a bother, would you please look at the history, and see if I had edited it? Please feel free to say no. But it would be very grand if you could do it. —usernamekiran(talk) 09:29, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-09-03T09:29:00.000Z","author":"Usernamekiran","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Usernamekiran-2019-09-03T09:29:00.000Z-hi","replies":["c-Tone-2019-09-03T14:30:00.000Z-Usernamekiran-2019-09-03T09:29:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi, yes, you edited it in 2017, you nominated it as a PROD and tagged it some further. Makes sense it was on your watchlist :) Hope that helps. --Tone 14:30, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-09-03T14:30:00.000Z","author":"Tone","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tone-2019-09-03T14:30:00.000Z-Usernamekiran-2019-09-03T09:29:00.000Z","replies":["c-Usernamekiran-2019-09-06T07:10:00.000Z-Tone-2019-09-03T14:30:00.000Z"]}}-->

31.53.73.203 (talk) 20:24, 26 September 2019 (UTC)I was wondering if you could help me out? I’ve recently was trying to see my fathers page on Wikipedia and it was deleted. He is a prominent jazz musician who worked and still works abroad and at home in Russia. His name is Sergey Manukyan. He is very well known in jazz circles and many international festivals. He appeared on the Voice in Russia recently. My father is also a disabled musician, he is almost blind, and has worked hard all his life to his fame. And I find it sad that even though he is well recognised amongst jazz musicians, he’s got wiki articles in Armenian and Russian, but the English article is deleted. I do understand that maybe there was something you didn’t like in the article. I don’t know what it was? But I can see how this could happen, since we don’t know who made this article about my dad. We don’t know the author. My dad is a famous persona and we assumed that, that’s why the wiki article was created. But we were never sure who wrote it. So I can’t confirm wether the content was written according to all policies. So I was wondering if you could help me with this please?

Hi, the article was deleted after a nomination, the suggestion was to rewrite it completely since the existing version was in a poor condition. So, I suggest you look at some other musician's articles and follow the style.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2019).

Administrator changes Barkeep49 Beetstra • KillerChihuahua • Kusma Arcadian • Extraordinary Machine • Xeno JamesBWatson → JBW Interface administrator changes Evad37

CheckUser changes Courcelles • SilkTork • Timotheus Canens Oversight changes Courcelles • SilkTork • Timotheus Canens

Guideline and policy news

• Following a discussion, a new criterion for speedy category renaming was added: C2F: One eponymous article, which applies if the category contains only an eponymous article or media file, provided that the category has not otherwise been emptied shortly before the nomination. The default outcome is an upmerge to the parent categories.

Technical news

• As previously noted, tighter password requirements for Administrators were put in place last year. Wikipedia should now alert you if your password is less than 10 characters long and thus too short.

Arbitration

• The 2019 CheckUser and Oversight appointment process has begun. The community consultation period will take place October 4th to 10th.
• The arbitration case regarding Fram was closed. While there will be a local RfC focus[ing] on how harassment and private complaints should be handled in the future, there is currently a global community consultation on partial and temporary office actions in response to the incident. It will be open until October 30th.

Miscellaneous

• The Community Tech team has been working on a system for temporarily watching pages, and welcomes feedback.

I do not feel East Bengal the Real Power page should be deleted as it is a fan group and was created under the fan group category with all relative references and links. EBRP is the first registered fans club for a football team in India and the article did not promote anything about the fan club, just provided facts and history about the fan movement.

Hi there. As nom, can I respectfully suggest a relist? There is one Delete (the nominator) and one Keep.

I came across Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seen in NY while doing peer review for new page patrol, and I think it could have benefited from being relisted.

It seems to me that there was a rough consensus to redirect. I would leave it for a longer discussion but there were no comments after two relistings.

Consensus to redirect and keeping depends on the discussion arguments, and this one had been kept previously and has academic sources. Only two editors commented on the nomination. I didn't know about the script, but your numerous deletion closings in literally a couple of minutes on either side of this close shows you may not have thoroughly studied the discussion points and read the opposing arguments of this close. It has good academic sources which you can read yourself in the links (I thought such links are given so closers can study the evidence), and since there were no additional comments after two relistings, please reconsider your decision and consider keeping this page.

No, it’s the one for Robert William Peabody, Jr. (Rob Peabody) - my team was looking for it in order to update the page when they saw it had been removed.

Please read WP:Conflict of interest. That might explain why the article was deleted. Nobody from your "team" should be editing an article without disclosing that they have such a conflict. It would be best if the editor registered so he or she could be recognized by other WP:Editors. Everybody wants new articles in Wikipedia, but they have to be approved by people to whom the community has given that responsibility. Best wishes.

Hi - I noticed that you closed the AfD for Gethen with a consensus to redirect to Planets of the Hainish Cycle. However, the latter article was also undergoing AfD at that time, which you closed with a consensus to delete. So now Gethen is erased as well. Is it possible to either redirect Gethen to The Left Hand of Darkness (as a couple of us in the Gethen AfD suggested) or reopen the Gethen AfD in light of the original target's deletion?

Hi. And first of all, thanks for all your efforts here on WP. Regarding this AfD discussion, while not done in the common fashion, the nom added four other articles to the discussion.

Nice censorship regarding 2019 Israeli airstrikes in Iraq ! I don't care whether the rest of the articles are deleted or kept. This one has been contributed me and other users a lot. It is a very important regional article that was ranked B. The creator being banned for the deletion of this article is pure WP:GRAVEDANCING and censorship of an article possibly critical of Israel. There was not full consensus to delete it at the AfD neither.

Hello, as the closing admin. for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ken Armstrong (U.S. Coast Guard officer), which resulted in deletion, would you kindly restore the redirect of the title to 2020 Libertarian Party presidential primaries#Declared candidates as it was originally before content was added? Also, I would like to request that the edit history be restored as well, so that relevant content can be merged into the target article if and when needed. It will also aid in re-creation of the article should subject gain enough valid coverage to deemed notable by consensus and WP:GNG (there is potential for such to happen). FWIW, I and another editor made such a request in the afd discussion and no objection was made. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi,

I have noticed that you have recently redirect the page of Juri Tanaka due to the deletion discussion on lack of independent notability.

Not sure what happened here. The article Araria district, has the AfD notice at top, but this did not transclude to the list of AfD articles.

Howdy - I think some wires got crossed when closing that AfD. There's no point in redirecting anything to draft - if draftify is the outcome, it's a move, and the original page including its history should be moved. Otherwise you just have cross-namespace redirect to a redlink while throwing away earlier work (which is apparently valid, as acknowledged byAfD participants). So I suspect this may have been a misunderstanding. I have undone the redirect and moved the article to Draft:List of Welsh names for (hopefully) further development.

Hello, My students and colleagues have made my Wikipedia page over the years. I noticed that in November it says you marked it for speedy deletion. I would love your help to understand what went wrong and help delete any content that is not in guidelines and get the page back up. I am an academic and Associate Provost at California Institute of the Arts, and have devoted my life to contributing knowledge to society. My students recently told me that I am no longer on wikipedia and thus I am trying to resolve what happened.

• I had a look at what happened. The article was deleted following a discussion where the consensus was clear to delete. The main problem was the lack of sources establishing notability - which was indeed the case as the sources were not about in-depth coverage. Doing some checking, I suppose that if the students recreate the article using the guidelines from WP:PROF, it could work better. But the key thing are the sources. I hope that helps.

Hi Tone, please could you re-open this AfD discussion? I was just adding a Keep !vote, but when I went to publish it, you had already closed it. My contribution was going to be:

• Keep A quick search of Newspapers.com shows several articles about this character, including this from the Edmonton Journal in 2012 [1] and the Boston Globe the same year [2]; this from the Los Angeles Times in 2013 [3]; this from the Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2014 [4]; this from 2017 [5], in a newspaper from Virginia, sourced from Variety - and no doubt there's more, but that is certainly enough to meet WP:GNG.

7 redirect 7 keep 1 merge 1 nomination which is perhaps a delete !vote. This is a no-consensus. I understand the argument you chose, however there are 7 keep !voters who did not agree and with you and the 7 who favored redirect. In this case we have a very clear consensus. I ask you to please reconsider the close since it is a clear no-consensus. An article can be renominated many times, but deletion/redirection is a death penalty with little recourse.

I know it was a controversial closure but I stand by my decision. A redirect is still not a delete. And I would close it as a keep if the article had some more content than the plot summary. Darth Vader, cited in the discussion, is how an article about a fictional character should be structured (though, clearly, there is not as much content for Hodor or Ygritte). Perhaps a draft and then move to article space. The content is still all there. --Tone 14:57, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-17T14:57:00.000Z","author":"Tone","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tone-2019-12-17T14:57:00.000Z-Lightburst-2019-12-17T14:45:00.000Z","replies":["c-Lightburst-2019-12-17T15:37:00.000Z-Tone-2019-12-17T14:57:00.000Z"]}}-->

FWIW My opinion is that a closer should allow the consensus to carry the AfD as long as no policy is violated. WP:N is guidance, not policy. Normally I feel that your closings are spot on, however here you did cast a supervote. And on the Ygritte close even more-so. Some of the keep !voters like myself had humerous !vote rationale's and perhaps that colored your close. However the !vote there was 7 keep 5 redirect 1 merge. There is no controversy in following the WP:CONSENSUS whicsph is a policy not a guideline. Nearly everything we do is by consensus unless prohibited by policy.

Consensus is based on the weight of each argument, not the number of !votes.

Hello Tone. I'm reaching out because you are the admin who closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bantha (2nd nomination) with the result of Redirect. I wasn't originally planning to reach out because I hate to be that guy who pesters an admin when they don't agree with a decision they made, but decided to do so since Piotrus, the original editor who nominated it for deletion, actually suggested I ask you to reopen/relist it or take it to UNDELETE/DELREV. I've pinged Piotrus so he can speak for himself if he wishes, but he indicated to me that he would not have nominated it for AFD if it looked the way it did after my efforts to substantially expand/improve the article (before and after. Personally, I was a little surprised that the result was Redirect instead of Keep/No Consensus, since there were a roughly equal number of Keep and Redirect votes, and I felt my improvements and stated intentions to continue improving the article were not addressed. But in any event, I did want to seek your thoughts on this since Piotrus made the suggestion, and I wanted to make sure you wouldn't be offended if I brought it to UNDELETE/DELREV? — Hunter Kahn 14:32, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-26T14:32:00.000Z","author":"Hunter Kahn","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Hunter_Kahn-2019-12-26T14:32:00.000Z-Bantha","replies":["c-Piotrus-2019-12-26T14:58:00.000Z-Hunter_Kahn-2019-12-26T14:32:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Hunter"}}-->

My point is that the article has improved significantly since the early votes where cast, so frankly I think the best solution would be to close this nom as no-consensus, with no prejudice to anyone who would want to nominate it again (I won't myself, since while I think the entry is still borderline, I think it is on the right side of borderline-ness). As someone who AfDs a ton of fictional stuff, I feel this one has been really improved to the point we need more than just a casual 'redirect' verdict. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:58, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-26T14:58:00.000Z","author":"Piotrus","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Piotrus-2019-12-26T14:58:00.000Z-Hunter_Kahn-2019-12-26T14:32:00.000Z","replies":["c-Tone-2019-12-26T15:45:00.000Z-Piotrus-2019-12-26T14:58:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus"}}-->

Another deletion where I think you did not properly evaluate the !vote rationales. It seems only two actually gave a reasonable guideline based rationale.

• Delete per nom
• Delete a non-notable model
• Delete – doesn't meet GNG; even with the new sources recently added to the article, none meet GNG. (the only !vote that went one to discuss the !votes was Levivich)
• Delete. Hyperbolick
• delete the keep arguments are mostly bullshit and should be ignored
• Delete Medium is a blog site, not a publication with editorial control, and is patently unreliable. (dismissed based on one source)

CheckUser changes Bradv • Casliber • David Fuchs • Maxim • Newyorkbrad • SoWhy • Xeno Oversight changes Bradv • Casliber • DGG • David Fuchs • Maxim • Newyorkbrad • SoWhy • Xeno Someguy1221

Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
• A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
• Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.

Arbitration

• The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
• Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Bradv, Casliber, David Fuchs, DGG, KrakatoaKatie, Maxim, Newyorkbrad, SoWhy, Worm That Turned, Xeno.

Miscellaneous

• This issue marks three full years of the Admin newsletter. Thanks for reading!

Since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of politicians on Veep had almost as much support for redirect as it had for delete, I thought it would be worth asking. Can I convince you to restore List of The West Wing politicians as a redirect to List of The West Wing characters? The nominator's assertion that all noteworthy politicians were covered in the latter article isn't true, and I would like to do a (highly selective) merge.

Dear Tone, I'm AFD nominator of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Benjamin Sum. At the time, he was competing in the top 5 of Myanmar Idol Season 4. So seems like WP:TOOSOON. End of the final competition, he became the Runner Up of the Season 4. Now he meets WP:MUSICBIO #9 and that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted. So please kindly restore the article if you agree and I'll expand on article. I don't want to create new because I want to show respect for the original creator Qt0411JL, see he said on my talk page.

I was looking into the the redirect Jani Likaveč when I noticed you had deleted it before I could get the results of my research in. I noticed the page was created at this title by a prolific creator of biographies from databases, so I figured there must be a database that uses the spelling. Turns out, the only reference [6] uses that spelling (but is showing as Mojibake to me). Therefore, since a major database uses the spelling, I believe it is plausible for someone to use that spelling to search for this athlete, even if it may be incorrect (not to mention it was the article title for a few years). Therefore, I would like you to revert your early close so I can lodge a "keep" !vote and allow the discussion to play out for the full seven days so we can discuss these findings. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:51, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-01-29T18:51:00.000Z","author":"Tavix","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Tavix-2020-01-29T18:51:00.000Z-Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion\/Log\/2020_January_29#Jani_Likave\u010d","replies":["c-Tone-2020-01-30T08:40:00.000Z-Tavix-2020-01-29T18:51:00.000Z"]}}-->

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
• The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Technical news

• Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
• When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [7]

Arbitration

• Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Miscellaneous

• Following an RfC, the blocking policy was changed to state that sysops must not undo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than should not.
• A request for comment confirmed that sandboxes of established but inactive editors may not be blanked due solely to inactivity.

Technical news

• Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present. You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2020 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: BRPever, Krd, Martin Urbanec, MusikAnimal, Sakretsu, Sotiale, and Tks4Fish. There are a total of seven editors that have been appointed as stewards, the most since 2014.
• The 2020 appointees for the Ombudsman commission are Ajraddatz and Uzoma Ozurumba; they will serve for one year.

You did not explain your reasoning to choose outright "Delete" rather than "redirect" in your recent closure of AFD. Even the original deletion nomination called for redirect. I argue that outright deletion is just wrong, by Wikipedia policies. This is about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cargo airlines of Bangladesh, which you closed "Delete". Could you explain yourself, and/or perhaps revert your closure. --Doncram (talk) 10:16, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-04T10:16:00.000Z","author":"Doncram","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Doncram-2020-03-04T10:16:00.000Z-AFD_closure","replies":["c-Tone-2020-03-04T10:23:00.000Z-Doncram-2020-03-04T10:16:00.000Z"]}}-->

I think it was the argument "it has come to my attention that there is no other "List of cargo airlines of [country]."" that convinced me. In which case the redirect makes little sense as an unplausible search term. I should have elaborated, indeed. --Tone 10:23, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-04T10:23:00.000Z","author":"Tone","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tone-2020-03-04T10:23:00.000Z-Doncram-2020-03-04T10:16:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I am wondering why you chose the minority opinion on this AfD. 9 editors favored deletion and 4 favored a redirect and the nominator said he could !vote for it.

Hello Sir or Madam, ver The above mentioned page was deleted by you. Though the number of votes for deletion were higher than for keep, those votes just cited wiki policy without explaining its relevance to the article in question. In the AFD, I gave my reasons why the article should be kept per Wikipedia policy. Those points were not rebutted. Therefore, I ask that you reconsider your decision to delete it.

Regards, Akash Dixit.

Hi, I see two problems. First, people who suggested deletion, stated the problem with notability, which you did not refute. Second, it seems you are the author of the book, which brings you into a conflict of interests. Therefore, I am staying with my decision. Regards, --Tone 08:25, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-15T08:25:00.000Z","author":"Tone","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tone-2020-03-15T08:25:00.000Z-Wilkn-2020-03-15T05:34:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks for your response.

Conflict of interests: What will be your thoughts if someone else other than me recreated the page? Please note - there were disinterested parties who did edit the page, giving it their signature of approval.

Notability: To my understanding, I did rebut the claim of notability by citing . Kindly, point me out the section in the purpose of Wikipedia wherein notability is defined or required. In the absence of any criteria, notability shall become a means to impose ones point of view in the direction that Wikipedia takes. I am reproducing the purpose of Wikipedia below for your convenience.

Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by acting as an encyclopedia, a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge. The goal of a Wikipedia article is to present a neutrally written summary of existing mainstream knowledge in a fair and accurate manner with a straightforward, "just-the-facts style". Articles should have an encyclopedic style with a formal tone instead of essay-like, argumentative, promotional or opinionated writing.

Notability is one of the pillars of Wikipedia, see WP:GNG. You provided no good references. Links to Amazon and other online bookstores are not appropriate. If someone else than you rewrites the article and addresses all the issues, this is fine - though I'd prefer this happens in draft space. --Tone 11:20, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-15T11:20:00.000Z","author":"Tone","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Tone-2020-03-15T11:20:00.000Z-Wilkn-2020-03-15T11:12:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Thank you for the reference. I read it. I think you are misunderstanding the concept of notability. Per my reading, notability is one of the reasons for creation of a Wikipedia article. No where in the Wiki space is it written that notability is the *exclusive* parameter by which the creation of Wikipedia articles are created. The exclusive parameter by which Wikipedia articles are created is knowledge. There is an example that is given in the reference which shows that even a notable item, if it does not add to the knowledge of humanity is not a candidate for creation of a Wikipedia article. On the other hand, a subject matter that has not attained any significance in the media should be allowed to be an article if it adds to the overall knowledge of humanity. Again - Wikipedia's purpose is to *benefit readers by acting as an encyclopedia.* Additionally, Wikipedia is "a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge."

Quoting from the reference - "Article and list topics must be notable, or **"worthy of notice"**. Determining notability does [NOT] necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below." Emphasis added.

So the question that you as an admin and per the clearly enunciated purpose of Wikipedia should ask is - is the addition adding to the knowledge of humanity or not. Please let me know if you are convinced regarding that knowledge addition rather than notability is the criteria that should be used. If you are convinced I will have to still satisfy that having the page will add to the knowledge base of humanity. Just because notability is not a criteria does not mean my article should be added.

I still think you are missing the point. Wikipedia is built on secondary sources. The sources decide when something is notable, not you or me. If you find non-trivial coverage of the book (Amazon listing is trivial), that is fine. Otherwise, no. On the other hand, if you want Wikipedia to change its way of functioning, you will have to convince many more people. I am sticking with my decision. --Tone 14:23, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-15T14:23:00.000Z","author":"Tone","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tone-2020-03-15T14:23:00.000Z-Wilkn-2020-03-15T12:26:00.000Z","replies":["c-Wilkn-2020-03-15T14:53:00.000Z-Tone-2020-03-15T14:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Sir or Madam - There is a contradiction between the cited source WP:GNG and what you are saying.

You say - "The sources decide when something is notable, not you or me."

Per WP:GNG - "Determining notability does [NOT] necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity."

The WP:GNG clearly says that popularity or fame or even importance does NOT determine notability. If a topic is not popular or famous then how can it have non-trivial secondary sources? My question to you is - you as admin regularly make decisions regarding keeping or deleting of articles. Are you basing your decision just on secondary sources? If yes, is that modus operandi per WP:GNG?

True, popularity or fame or even importance does NOT determine notability. However, no sources also do not justify having an article. As an admin, I saw a very clear consensus to delete the article. If you disagree, you can start a WP:DRV, and continue the discussion there. I've said all I wanted. --Tone 17:21, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-15T17:21:00.000Z","author":"Tone","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Tone-2020-03-15T17:21:00.000Z-Wilkn-2020-03-15T12:26:00.000Z","replies":["c-Wilkn-2020-03-16T02:45:00.000Z-Tone-2020-03-15T17:21:00.000Z"]}}-->

Sir or Madam - I am not worried about inclusion of article or not. I read your talk page even before I started the conversation. You appeared to me a person of logic. My opinion has, if anything, enhanced in that respect due to this present conversation. I, respectfully ask that we continue this conversation before and if we go to WP:DRV. It also your duty because as an administrator you should justify the reasoning behind your action. You have failed to carry out that responsibility. First you stated notability implied non-trivial citations. Now you are shifting the goal post and stating that "consensus" was the reasoning behind your decision. And despite bringing this new parameter at this late stage, you want to bail out of the conversation. I, respectfully, ask that we continue here until we are adding value to our arguments and not being repetitive. I till this point do not think you are being repetitive in arguments supporting your premise. Am I being repetitive in my arguments?

We both agree now that "popularity or fame or even importance does NOT determine notability." Then What does? Consensus? It little way up on your talk page it is written "Consensus is based on the weight of each argument, not the number of !votes." You agreed to this statement by stating "Controversial in a way that I was aware that many people would not like the outcome. Still, I considered the arguments."

So the question is, per your own stated policy above, did you consider the weight of each argument and the contents therein? If yes, what is your conclusion? Or in other words how do you conclude that there was a consensus regarding the deletion. Per the conversation, the no votes just stated what you stated above - that notability is determined by non-trivial citations. I disagree and presented my point of view regarding that. Nobody over there was able to rebut my arguments. Therefore, the controversy was inconclusive and your delete decision hurried.

Some of the readers/buyers of my book have expressed interest in weighing in on the discussion. As such, I respectfully ask that you reinstate the article and the AfD conversation so that that conversation can be carried to its logical conclusion. And so that you will have a clear and unambiguous reasoning to support your admin action. The discussion about delete was inconclusive, this discussion was inconclusive, then on what basis can we go to WP:DRV? If you can live with making a decision in which you are not able to clearly enunciate and support the reasoning - I can live with deletion of the article!

What can we discuss further? There was a clear consensus to delete the article due to the lack of sources, I evaluated the consensus and deleted the article, and in addition you are clearly in a conflict of interest. If you disagree, start a DRV.

Hello again Tone, thanks for your quick reply. I've updated the draft, but cannot move the article into article space, what more can I do to get the page unprotected from creation?

Well, with drafts, someone has to decide it is time to move them to the mainspace. It will not be me, as I deleted it in the first place.

Hi there! You recently closed a deletion discussion for Inky Gibbens. I was wondering if I could get access to the content on the now-deleted page? The discussion made me think the company, Tribalingual (rather than the person) is notable. So I'm thinking of drafting a page, but would rather not start from scratch. Please let me know if this is possible.

In January, my page of 10+ years was deleted. Some of the links were outdated, so I understand, sort of, but it did seem abrupt, and a bit harsh. Such is life, I suppose. Would you be so kind as to post the old page data to kristeraxel, where I might do some deep editing and resubmit?

hi, thanks for your quick reply. I have edited the copy, and added relevant source links. I am going to publish the draft, although I am being warned that publishing content about myself is possible grounds for deletion; I have properly added the COI tag to my user page, and I am hoping that you might help me get this page published. I don't really know what else to do. I defer to your judgement. Best -

Sorry to see that you closed this as a delete. While there were technically three deletes to one keep, both I and Nfitz argued that this met WP:GNG without directly voting as the stub was properly sourced (especially after the relist.) We can keep articles which pass GNG even if the league the player was in fails WP:NFOOTY. If we made the mistake by not specifically mentioning that it met WP:GNG or !voting, that's fine, but I'm wondering if you could overturn your close to a no consensus? Cheers!

Disappointed this was deleted with a 5-2 consensus. I felt most points and questions raised received no rebuttal or discussion beyond "not notable."

Hello Tone, I've just realized that the page Enes Batur, the biggest YouTuber in Turkey has been deleted with only 2 peoples opinion, as they mentioned that "there weren't any reliable sources about him to show his notability status". Firstly, there are lots of resources. A reliable source does not need to be in English per Wiki guidelines. The person in question is one of the most widely reported Internet celebrities in Turkey. He has been reported by Milliyet, Hürriyet, Sözcü etc countless times for his Internet content, legal battles and musical career.

I'm the editor that has written most of his article on tr.wiki. I know the English article was less developed and understand the sceptism of non-Turkish speaking Wikipedians, but I would love to contribute to it if you can take the deletion back.

Hi Tone, I went to start a page for the 70's Soul/R&B group Soul Generation, and a message came up stating that there was a page was started but removed or deleted with the similar name by your username. I am checking with you to see if I will be allowed to start a page for the group.

I am very passionate about preserving that 60's 70's and 80's Classic Soul/R&B groups and Soul Generation did have songs in the top 40 on Billboard's R&B Chart. Please advise, before I create the page.

Hey Tone, I'm curious why you closed the AfD on Cawthorn as redirect when it appeared that no consensus was reached? Last month, I noticed that a far-less notable political nominee Jo Rae Perkins survived her AfD although it was apparently closed by a banned user. I'm just really confused by it since Lauren Boebert, Jamaal Bowman, and Mondaire Jones all have extremely similar notabilities to Cawthorn yet Perkins (also similar) was kept and Cawthorn was redirected. I'm not sure what to do with regards to Boebert, Bowman, or Jones if there's no clear standard. Like, do I even bother to work on their pages now. I'm hoping you'll be able to explain if or what the nuance(s) might be?

Yeah I'm not sure that was the correct close, sorry. While AfD is not a vote, the majority of users went for keep. Most of the Delete votes used an arbitrarily high standard for inclusion for political candidates. It is higher than GNG, WP:N for reasons unknown. Additionally, there were only a few Redirect votes so I'm not sure how that would be the consensus. Perhaps a DRV is in order. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 18:00, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-07-06T18:00:00.000Z","author":"Editorofthewiki","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Editorofthewiki-2020-07-06T18:00:00.000Z-Tone-2020-07-06T06:58:00.000Z","replies":["c-Tone-2020-07-06T19:26:00.000Z-Editorofthewiki-2020-07-06T18:00:00.000Z"],"displayName":"EDDY"}}-->

I view a redirect as a soft alternative to deletion, as it can be brought back easily when the issues are fixed (e.g. election). And I was looking at the arguments, not at the numbers.

Greetings Tone, if you notice, I thanked you on the talk page link here because I believe it is wrong to for another user to recreate a deleted page without contacting the user who deleted the original page. In the short time I have spent on wikipedia, I have learnt that. I also have seen the great work you have been doing. I will like to recreate the page Charles Okpaleke having researched and got some reliable sources. I just watched his film on Netflix and searched him on wiki only to find out he has no wiki page. Charles Okpaleke produced the movie LIVING IN BONDAGE: BREAKING FREE which happened the be the highest grossing film in Nigeria in 2019. It also has won the biggest awards on the African continent. How can you help me to create this page? I will be excited to create it because he is one of the most searched celebrities in Africa. Thank you again for all the works you have been doing.
