CfD closures
[edit]Hey! First of all I want to say thanks for closing CfDs, but also please be a bit careful not to close them too early. They shouldn't be closed within 8 days and if you do you run the risk that people start complaining that they didn't have enough time to react. Also, more from a practical point of view, there are many dozens of much older CfDs that still need to be closed, not all of them are very complicated, so you might want to check these too. See the backlog here. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:32, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification. Typically deletion discussions can be closed after 168 hours of discussion, and a quorum is generally not required. I will check out the older discussions. SSTflyer 06:44, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Proposal to rename categories
[edit]Please see my proposal to speedily rename Category:Defunct villages by country and subcategories to Category:Former villages by country etc. Hugo999 (talk) 18:45, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Please do not do this
[edit]For a contentious article of Reactions to the 2016 Brussels bombings, do not close an AFD as a non-admin. If you do, I re-decide on this and determine "merge and redirect".
If you want to make such decisions, please apply to be an administrator. Whiskeymouth (talk) 04:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Whiskeymouth, you don't need a deletion review or an admin to merge and redirect the article. Additionally, you were involved in the deletion discussion so you certainly shouldn't "decide" the result. Jolly Ω Janner 05:02, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Surface (2012 computer)
[edit]Hi,
Why was this article moved to this name from Surface (first generation)? The Surface isn't necessarily considered a "computer" in a traditional sense, and the Talk discussions never warranted this unexpected move. Please explain your reasoning behind this article move.
WikIan -(talk) 05:33, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- The old name is ambiguous; it can refer to the first generation of any topic named "Surface". Yes, my move was WP:BOLD, but it is in compliance with WP:PARENDIS. SSTflyer 05:43, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- There was a long discussion over what to name this article. It was decided because the other names were ambiguous, how is the first-generation Surface tablet ambiguous? The iPad articles use this naming scheme. WikIan -(talk) 22:12, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Compare iPad (disambiguation) and Surface (disambiguation). "Surface" can refer to far more different topics than "iPad" can, so the iPad naming scheme does not work well with Surface computers. SSTflyer 04:56, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Gamaliel and others arbitration case opened
[edit]You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others. The scope of this case is Gamaliel's recent actions (both administrative and otherwise), especially related to the Signpost April Fools Joke. The case will also examine the conduct of other editors who are directly involved in disputes with Gamaliel. The case is strictly intended to examine user conduct and alleged policy violations and will not examine broader topic areas. The clerks have been instructed to remove evidence which does not meet these requirements. The drafters will add additional parties as required during the case. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Evidence.
Please add your evidence by May 2, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. This notification is being sent to those listed on the case notification list.

Michael Cox move
[edit]Hi. I believe you've made the wrong decision in moving Michael Cox (bishop) to Michael Cox (bishop, born 1945). The debate was still ongoing (latest contribution just today); there is at least one objection to the current title; there is also only one objection (and that's a mild one) to Michael Cox (independent bishop), which also appears to enjoy a lot of support. Please reconsider your decision. Regards, BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 12:11, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Your Prince AfD close
[edit]There were more than 40 !votes for delete and around a dozen for redirect but you closed it as consensus for redirect. Seriously? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 12:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- I do not consider my closure to be inappropriate. "Delete" and "redirect" votes are generally considered to be equivalent in deletion discussions, unless editors specifically recommend not to keep the article history, which is not the case here. I think I have adequately explained my "redirect" closure at the AfD page. Some editors may want to recreate this article when it gains notability. Keeping the article history accessible to non-admins would allow these editors to have something to work with, instead of starting from scratch. Even if this article, together with its history, were deleted, its title would likely be recreated as a redirect. If you want this redirected article, together with its history, to be deleted, WP:RFD is the correct venue. If you want to challenge my closure, you may take it to WP:DRV. Thanks, SSTflyer 13:17, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- My point is that it was an obvious, overwhelming delete. And you never addressed that fact. Which causes me to wonder why. Hence my comments here. I have no intention or desire to to anything about your close, I merely wanted an explanation for how you closed it and why in the face of what was a very obvious, different outcome. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:09, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think I have already explained why I closed this as "redirect" instead of "delete". It is typical to close AfD discussions where there are numerically more "delete" than "redirect" votes as redirect. As long as the user (registered or not) does not specifically view the history of the redirect, deleting an article (together with its history) and redirecting it to a different target has the same effect. In this case, redirecting instead of deleting the article is desired, since this allows the article history to be preserved for interested editors, and there is no benefit (think WP:RD2) to delete the history. I have already suggested other venues such as WP:RFD and WP:DRV, and you refused. If you don't accept my explanation, then don't. Different editors naturally have different opinions, and I don't care. Thanks, SSTflyer 14:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

- Why are you being so combative? I asked why, you answered, I commented further stating I disagree with your conclusion, but I stated clearly I have no intention of challenging the close. You don't need to be hostile about it all. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:42, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Winkelvi:You disagreed with the conclusion, but you haven't really said why. What harm is the redirect doing, that requires this article to be fully deleted with no history preserved? — Amakuru (talk) 16:27, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- My comments in the OP described why. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:59, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

- Just saying but I agree with the closure here as the redirect doesn't appear to cause any issues. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:42, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- I was actually very impressed by how the AfD was closed. The consensus was that an article on Prince's death is not currently needed. A redirect achieves the same effect, while sending readers to the relevant subsection in Prince's article. Retaining the article history doesn't harm anyone, as the consensus was not that it was poorly written. Kurtis (talk) 12:27, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

AWB stub pages
[edit]You seem to have a problem with AWB at the moment and are creating lots of empty articles that appear as though they should be redirects. noq (talk) 12:21, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- OK, I now see the cause of this problem. The CSV loader does not recognize non-ASCII characters, and is therefore creating redirects to non-existent pages. SSTflyer 12:27, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have requested G7 deletion for these problematic redirects, because they have no plausible alternative target. SSTflyer 12:31, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Out of interest, why are you creating large numbers of (last name) and (family name) redirects where the primary topic is already that? What purpose to those redirects serve? Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Readers searching for a surname or for a specific person with that surname may not know the disambiguator used for a surname article. Creating multiple redirects using alternative disambiguation qualifiers allows a reader who may be typing e.g. Wilson (last name) to reach the desired article. SSTflyer 13:15, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

I think there's still a problem with AWB -- it looks like you're creating a large number of pages that are "List of people name XYZ" -- most with one link? Michael (talk) 11:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
With seven people 'voting' to keep and seven to delete or merge and the two sides not agreeing on the application and applicability of the WP:GNG, how have we arrived at a 'keep' consensus? Izkala (talk) 19:30, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Generally speaking, I have found the keep arguments to be stronger. Most keep voters have demonstrated how the topic is notable, while most delete or merge arguments simply said that the topic does not warrant a separate argument without explaining why. SSTflyer 00:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks. Izkala (talk) 00:14, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
Interested to know about all the redirects
[edit]Hi SSTflyer, how's things? I'm a little curious about all the "List of people named (First) (Last)" - is that something people will commonly search, and how does the redirect help? Happy editing! -- samtar talk or stalk 16:53, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- I think it is a plausible search term, and their creations would be useful. All these creations should survive WP:RFD discussions. SSTflyer 16:54, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- I think that's fair enough, though personally I would imagine people might search more along the lines of people named (First) (Last)? Anyway, keep up the great work, I see you around a lot over the 'pedia -- samtar talk or stalk 16:56, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, but that was a very bad idea - and you should have discussed it with the community first. One Neelix was one more than we needed.--S Philbrick(Talk) 22:40, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
