For the sake of peace

Can you unhat Hijiri's comments in the Joker AFD you just closed? He is annoyed because Softlavender who participated in the discussion hatted them (quite inappropriately tbh) just before you closed it. I know it makes zero difference to the outcome.

Note: I did not participate in the off-topic hatted bickering-only discussion, which was threatening to continue ad nauseum, was started and perpetuated by an editor who had not even !voted or commented in the AfD, and was already an additional 700 bytes of clutter in an AfD that was already well over 12,000 bytes long. I did !vote in the AfD. Softlavender (talk) 18:55, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Wales Green Party Deletion

Hello. This page has been deleted, revived and is pending deletion again, it seems: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Wales_Green_Party

I noticed you endorsed the deletion way back in November 2015 but nothing has seemingly happened since. Basically no editing of the page has happened either and most things are uncited and more tables left blank. Seems no interest in the pageDrowz0r (talk) 21:37, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
