Strong overturn. MfD against an WIP private yet well-sourced and referenced userpage with roughly 140kB still pretty much at stub status compared to what it was supposed to develop into. The MfD's closing admin justified her closure by arguments put forth by Calton and Coredesat that were instantly refuted by a multitude of established editors and admins everytime those "arguments" were posted as those were debunked arguments against a mainspace article (of only 40-60kB) only sharing the title with what MfD closing admin has now decided to delete, and on top of that, those were arguments only valid for mainspace as explicitly stated by policy. Not to mention the deleted userpage had been created long before the particular AfD was opened on mainspace article that was very controversially closed as delete. Even the deletion of mainspace article was patently illegitimate because that second AfD had failed to provide any new nomination rationale as without a new nomination rationale any new AfD is invalid from the beginning, which is one of the many reasons why established admins such as User:John, User:Grue, User:DGG, User:Tango, User:Coren, User:@pple and others, called the closing admin Keilana's entire ability to proper judgment and fulfill her duties as an admin into question for her unwarranted personal decision to delete the mainspace article for which she was even incapable to provide any rationale for until several days later when an involved member of the delete party shoved a rationale onto her which boiled down to WP:IAR (DRV closing admin Mackensen quoted a vague unsubstantiated claim that nobody had been able to provide any rationale or refs for, even though repeatedly requested to do so, and that there was absolutely no consensus over). After that illegitimate decision, the same people went with an MfD after a different piece in private userspace which happened to have the same title, and the only "arguments" the MfD's closing admin quoted were stating that the mainspace article had been deleted. Consensus, logic, and following policy look different. --TlatoSMD (talk) 07:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Endorse deletion for the 27th time. DRV is not AfD2, and should not be a habitual response to an AfD close you disagree with. If there is a process problem, i.e. consensus was interpreted incorrectly/involvement by the admin in the discussion/early closure/etc. then DRV can correct that. If the outcome simply didn't go your way, that is not what DRV is about. Avruchtalk 08:26, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, I'm disappointed to see that when you canvassed for votes on this DRV you didn't include me - I've participated in every discussion about this page since the initial AfD that resulted in a delete, but didn't get your 'neutral IAW WP:CANVASSING note' anyway.

• Comment. This might be your 27th time Avruch, however you you still can't change the fact there were and are 130 established admins and editors entirely opposed to your opinion. Don't paint your personal opinions as "consensus" just because some admins controversially agreed with you and are now therefore under attack by their peers. And the reason why I have not included you is that I still have to see you following logic or policies, or applying policies only within their strictly defined reach, on this issue. I have included Relata refero below even though they voted for delete just as you did. As much as I remember Relata stated that even the federal government of the United States of America disagree with you, Avruch, whom they claimed to be in contact with over this particular issue. I must also voice great concern with you calling "canvassing" what is verbatim referred to as "neutral, friendly notice" by policy, which was even quoted at the top of each notice. Are you feeling overwhelmed with better arguments and too many people against you, or why did you revert those? --TlatoSMD (talk) 08:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: I apologize, I see now that you didn't revert them. The one editor who removed my notice has stated he has done so because he feels too frustrated by POV-pushing in favor of your opinion. --TlatoSMD (talk) 09:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment: I'd like to hear from the closing admin before I consider this further. Certainly her stated rationale is not sufficiently explanatory. (I urged deletion.) Relata refero (talk) 08:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Endorse. No policy or process faults have been identified with the close, the nomination by TlatoSMD above does not address the reason for deletion. Guy (Help!) 09:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Comment from closing admin - this didn't take too long, did it? I'm not going to go down the NPOV in userspace path, or quibble about minor variances in what I'm going to group under pedophilia. I'm concerned that this thing repeatedly crops up, a vast majority of the community is in uproar about it, and that people feel it's completely OK to store it in their userspace and expect not to receive fuss over it. Policy says that things can be stored in userspace if there is a reasonable expectation that it can be worked on and improved. This cannot. It has not been considered acceptable by the community and probably will not be. It has been judged a POV fork with a biased title and has been deleted as such. The only purpose it can serve being stored in userspace is pissing people off. It's certainly done that, it's outweighed its usefulness, and now we can all get on with it. ~ Riana ⁂ 09:24, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Is there any other reason than the faulty rationale supplied by closing admin? You seem to insinuate so. Please remember this is not MfD no.2. --TlatoSMD (talk) 09:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• • Faulty rationale in whose opinion? You are inherently biased. Take a step back. There's nothing faulty about my close at all. It is perfectly within the bounds of policy and process. ~ Riana ⁂ 09:25, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. The side in favor of delete regarding this personal userpage was so desperate because all their rationalizations, if they bothered to give any at all, were torn to pieces that towards the end Avruch and 12noon's only resort left was to plead changing policies just for this one MfD's sake (they did so in the MfD itself as well as on SSB's talkpage). --TlatoSMD (talk) 09:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Endorse deletion. This is not another round of MfD, it's a review of process. The MfD was properly decided, by strong consensus, with around 75% of the 40-plus commenting editors recommending deletion based on policy. There is no good reason for this DRV because there is no way the MfD could have been closed as anything other than delete, based on the count and content of the comments.--Jack-A-Roe (talk) 09:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Youth Offending Team/Glossary

Youth Offending Team/Glossary (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

UNDELETE_GLOSSARY_NOT_A_DICTIONARY 4 commentators stated it was a dictionary whilst entries were at the 'A' section, and before B and subsequent sections were added. 1 user stated 'Inappropriate' because she had already deleted 2 articles on 31st January on the (incorrect) assumption of copyright violation. I accepted that 1 article (A Manual) was better suited to Wikia. The Glossary was reinstated with positive help from RHawaorth, but without support from Deb, who appeared unwilling to read the revised version and also proceeded to delete Feb 8th additions, whilst claiming not to know the reason for deletion, when asked for clarification as to why those additions were not shown. Despite spending inordinate amounts of time responding to Deb's post hoc reasons for 31st Jan deletions, I was accused of wasting her time, when all that was required was cessation of harrassment of a newbie, in favour of the help and goodwill offered by others ie RHaworth, JimfBleak and SGGH }} SJB (talk) 00:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Which article is this in reference to? --Coredesat 01:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion, near-unanimous consensus to delete, and the page was a misuse of subpages. Glossaries aren't too much different than dictionaries in terms of purpose; they don't belong here. --Coredesat 01:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion, consensus was unanimous that this simply wasn't an encyclopedia article, and I'm not seeing anything in this DRV listing that argues that that consensus was incorrect. --Stormie (talk) 07:51, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
