Miscellaneous
- Following an RfC, the editing restrictions page is now split into a list of active restrictions and an archive of those that are old or on inactive accounts. Make sure to check both pages if searching for a restriction.

Deletion of Aberdeen Pride
In 2006, you deleted Pride in Aberdeen after a deletion discussion that was not entirely unanimous. Some editors considered it non-notable, others thought it was notable. Today, at least fifteen UK cities have articles on their pride parades. For the Aberdeen article, six people motivated their reasons to delete; five motivated a keep, two deletions were unmotivated or invalid. Although somewhat more people preferred deletion than keeping the article, I personally would not call it a consensus. Do you think it would be reasonable to allow the community to reassess the deletion? --Gerrit 17:24, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
