If you ignore the extra keep vote by User:Diamonddannyboy, the multiple comments by him, and the comment by the single purpose ip of 90.208.51.74, then there is indeed a consensus to delete. Furthermore, nearly all of the keep votes admit that there are no reliable sources for the subject of the article. RogueNinjatalk 17:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- The original editors who put it up for deletion even came to its rescue, it has five keeps by indepentent editors, not to include those by User:Diamonddannyboy but five from others, notablity was proved under WP:ATHLETE17:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- The above comment was added by User:Diamonddannyboy - RogueNinjatalk 17:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- On the AFD entry page there is Five keeps indepentent of daidannyboy and four deletes and one weak delete. why is put up again for a review. This again due to it being part of the Romany project. 17:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diamonddannyboy (talk • contribs)
- As the closing admin, I endeavored to clean up various repeated comments by Diamonddannyboy (talk · contribs) and sort these things out, I obviously missed one bolded keep, but that didn't affect my close decision. My close was based on a few things...I don't count votes when I close AfDs, but I can't help but notice there are six different editors that registered some form of a "keep" comment and five going the other way. If I was a countin' type, that's a no consensus for sure. As noted in my brief closing comment, "Keep working on WP:BIO sourcing", I was aware of the general concerns brought up and sympathize with the arguments that the current sourcing is gray-area for notability guideline purposes. I took that into account as I viewed the large changes that occurred over the course of the AfD (compare: before/after and the addition of several references). These changes, and the comments from later in the AfD leaning towards keep (weak or otherwise) indicated to me that there was a trend of improvement within the article that merited a no consensus decision to allow further progress. I stand by my close, obviously, and also add that reference and notability tags may be appropriate for the article, and an AfD renomination--after vetting the new references--is a perfectly valid option (though I would hope substantial improvement time will be allowed). I would, naturally, have explained all this to RogueNinja if it had been brought up to me first... — Scientizzle 18:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sustain keep a reasonable close;; the article was improved during the afd, and most of the keeps followed that improvement. DGG (talk) 18:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The template was deleted without any prior discussion or voting about this template. There was a voting about the project page connected to it, but NOT about this template. If there was any discussion about this that I didn't notice, please inform me. This request also concerns the subpage Rnb/button. Freestyle 16:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- There was a previous deletion discussion which was closed as "Userfy" - that is when material not suitable for the main namespaces (article, template, wikipedia etc) is moved to the userspace rather than being deleted. The Random Button was deleted because the creator moved the template back into the Misplaced Pages namespace. The nominator was well aware of this prior discussion - he took part in it, after all, but for the benefit of others Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Random Button. I'm also a little disappointed this was brought to deletion review by the nominator without any discussion, I was never asked to undelete or explain the deletion first. That's just not cricket, I'm afraid. Nick (talk) 17:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

- If Misplaced Pages:MFD#Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Random concludes with the project being kept, I'll restore the random template into your userspace. Nick (talk) 20:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

It's not about having the close changed but rather I don't understand what the closing admin wants me to do. I'm not sure if they're notable, or s/he simply wants me to unbundle and renominate them or...? I'm not fluent in Wiki and I haven't heard an answer to my question. I don't want to do the wrong thing, but I don't know what to do. There doesn't appear to have been any consensus so judging from that doesn't help me much. Thanks!

- I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused. As for your question, I didn't see it for some reason, I must have missed it. As for the close, there were some that may, on their own, achieve a consensus to delete, but the articles as a bundle did not. So, if you feel that some are less notable than others, I would recommend renominating them individually to get a clear picture of what should stay and what should go. Does that help? Again, sorry for the confusion. Keilana|
- No worries. Just saw your note now on my talk page, but replying here to keep it all in one place. I wasn't aware that a whole bundle needs to go one way or another, I thought they could be considered together to avoid the same arguments copy pasted in several AfDs and cluttering the page but that individual articles could be kept or deleted. My mistake, I'm still learning. Thanks for the clarification. TRAVELLINGCARITell me yours 03:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
