Template:Infobox academic division
Poor non-admin closure, with no explanation of the reasons for reaching the declared conclusion; appears to simply count !votes rather than weigh up arguments. The editor concerned was requested to reconsider, but - after having to be prompted - has refused. This should at least have been "no consensus", if not relisted for further discussion.

Kirby Delauter
Referenced to BBC and Washington Post (among others). Deleted (and salted) "per IAR" by admin to prevent discussion of how to handle it. At a minimum, should be a redirect to the article on the county where he is a councillor (though with more and more and more sources continuing to appear, it remains to be seen whether a full article is merited.

- Note from deleting admin: This is, IMHO, a textbook example of WP:BLP1E. Speedying it was an application of WP:IAR, rather than having a policy-violating article lying around for 7 days while an AFD is undertaken. This was not a WP:CSD#G10 deletion, it's just an attempt to apply common sense and BLP. Just because social media has latched onto this guy as the patsy du jour, and there are lots of editorials floating around out there about the editorial that started all this, it still clearly meets all three criteria of BLP1E.
- It is simply an unfair smear to say I did this to prevent discussion; I made it clear to WilyD and another editor on my talk page that a DRV would be a reasonable way to approach this if WilyD disagreed, or he could undelete the article and I'd file an AFD. I've suggested to someone on my talk page that Talk:Kirby Delauter would be a reasonable place to have a discussion on whether it should be a redirect to the applicable government article, or WilyD could do that himself.
- I'll happily respond further to anyone who asks a question (please ping me), but I think I've had enough of accusations of "bullying", "admin abuse", and "attempt to prevent discussion", so I won't be responding to WilyD anymore. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:53, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
