Reopening

I don't know about the appropriateness of me reverting Tony, as I was involved in the debate, but then he voted on it too, so it's inappropriateness all round, it seems.

I see Splash has also reverted, so I'm going ahead and restarting this debate. It is meant to last for five days, and I see no harm in allowing that to take place. The debate is not at all vitriolic; quite the reverse, in fact, which I'm glad to see. I think we should only close it early if Phil requests it and no one objects.

It seemed like a very odd way to close, particularly given that no action approaching a merge (or even a removal of the AfD tag!) was even undertaken. -Splash 00:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for reverting Splash. I had thought it was vandalism at first then realized who he was. I do think that AfD's should last their full length of given time. --Strothra 00:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I think this is very inappropriate. First, I think that admins who vote should not close, revert or otherwise use their admin powers on a given AfD. Also, if re-opened, it should include a paste of all previous discussion. Crum375 00:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • There's not a reason to close early here. None. It's not a speedy candidate on either side. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 00:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
All the discussion is included, Crum. We just reverted Tony's premature closure of it. SlimVirgin 00:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Reverting my close was absolutely appropriate. I have no problem with that. My early close was based on a perception that everything had been said that needed to be said, and a good, slow, deliberate decision-making process (on this talk page) would be preferable to the continuation of a deletion discussion. --Tony Sidaway 01:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
