Can you please either take full protection off or revert to a version not by a indef-blocked sockmaster? I suggest this one. --NeilN 13:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- I don't see a difference, besides the sentence about him being in Kappa Alpha Psi, which doesn't seem particularly problematic. I'll downgrade to semi-protection to allow editors to improve the article during AfD if desired, but I'm pinging Black Kite, who protected the article. Black Kite is surely more familiar with the situation than I am, so if he or she wishes to take it back to full protection, I won't object. --BDD (talk) 13:30, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. The tags were also different and not quite applicable. --NeilN 13:40, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Well that was a lovely way to close it. Made me smile, anyway. Thanks, you made my day (not sarcastic). Si Trew (talk) 22:51, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
New question raised regarding Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request
Some opposers of this move have now contended that there is a "Critical fault in proposal evidence", which brings the opinions expressed into question. Please indicate if this assertion in any way affects your position with respect to the proposed move. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:35, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
About some redirects recreated on a discussion you closed
Hey BDD, just wanted to give you a heads-up that it seems all of the redirects nominated at a discussion you closed, Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 May 6#Category:Songs written by Rolf Haris, Category:Rolf Haris songs, have been recreated. I was thinking of nominating these redirects for speedy deletion criterion G4, but based on your closing statement, I'm not sure if another administrator would accept these nominations. Steel1943 (talk) 03:19, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hard to say. They're soft redirects now instead of hard, so not exactly G4 material. The CfD crowd has traditionally been conservative about keeping category redirects. I've seen some more recent decisions where they seemed willing to accept them, though people who followed my notifications on that discussion definitely came down on the delete side. G4 if you'd like, but I think further discussion should take place at CfD either way. --BDD (talk) 12:08, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- Looks like JamesBWatson proactively resolved this themselves. Not sure if anyone tagged those redirects, but either way, they've been re-deleted. Steel1943 (talk) 17:07, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- This looked to me like a straightforward G4 deletion, but from what you and Steel1943 say, it is perhaps not quite so clear-cut. To me, the distinction between soft and hard directs doesn't seem to make enough difference to invalidate G4, but if consensus is that it does, then I won't quarrel. For what it's worth my own tendency is to leave redirects unless they are grossly inappropriate, and I would not have !voted for deletion had I taken part in the discussion, but in taking admin actions I try to follow consensus, even when my own preference is against consensus.
