Can you withdraw Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 Sumedang tornado?

Hey Cutlass. I wanted to ask if you could withdraw your AfD nomination for the 2024 Sumedang tornado. The AfD already has 2 delete !votes (plus yours). If you withdraw the AfD, I would be more than happy to bold merge/redirect that article. Due to past issues, I cannot and will not redirect/merge the article while the AfD is ongoing, meaning deleting it is being held up on the technicality of the seven-day AfD. So please, withdraw the AfD so myself or you even could merge/redirect the article to Tornadoes of 2024. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Cutlass, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:46, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
