Hey there, I am currently working on updating and clearing up the <s>chaos</s> backlog at ], and I have noticed eight proposals by you about song articles that could be merged into their parent album articles. Since it has been two months, it does not look like the WikiProjects pinged are going to engage with the discussions (or any editor of these articles apparently for that matter). As you are the sole support as nominator, and the creator of the articles opposes, I think the merge discussions should be closed as "No consensus" ; however I did not want to mass close all your nominations before asking you if you thought something else should be done. Oh, and since I am there, congrats for the successful RFA! ] (]·]) 21:14, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Voorts,

A closer can't come up with an original ATD that hasn't been mentioned in the AFD discussion and I don't see that a Redirect had been suggested. I might have missed a comment but all I saw when I reviewed it were Deletes and Keeps. I learned about this the hard way when my closure was brought to ] which is generally not a pleasant experience for an AFD closer. If there isn't a consensus, it's better to relist a discussion rather than come up with your own resolution. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">] ]</sup> 05:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
:I'll relist it. I thought there was a rough consensus to delete, but redirecting was plausible as an ATD. I thought that kind of close was within closer discretion, but good to know that it's not. ] (]/]) 05:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

== Question about ANI closure ==

Voorts, the A/E discussion you linked- did not mention Simonms once. The AN/ANI thread (I moved to ANI on my volition after realizing that it may not have been the best platform) was specifically about Simoms conduct on my t/p and the article t/p, where he was repeatedly and objectively fabricating Misplaced Pages policy, in addition to straw manning my arguments. '''It was only after GhostofDanGurney responded and derailed the conversation to A/E,''' did I feel compelled to point to his own record at A/E, and Ghost made false claims against me stating that I forced Simonms to go the article t/p. I felt that Ghost's post there was a clear case of tag teaming as evidenced by here-.

In any case, since there is objective and repeated fabricating of Misplaced Pages policy from Simonm (which I'd say is pretty severe), do I have no recourse? Am I supposed to just tolerate someone making stuff upon the fly and expecting me to abide by it? I'm genuinely curious. ] (]) 17:40, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
:This is a content dispute, not a conduct issue. You disagree with Ghost and Simon's readings of policy. That's fine; editors are allowed to disagree. Editors are not allowed, however, to file conduct claims at AN/I, AE, etc. when they have such a disagreement. Generally, you should remain civil, ], and attempt to ]. I think the best path forward here would be seeking a neutral mediator. @] and @]: would you be open to dispute resolution at ]? ] (]/]) 17:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
::I mean I came into this issue ''as'' a neutral editor but, yeah, sure, I suppose we might as well try. ] (]) 17:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
