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)


- Gerrit - given the no. of years that was passed between the deletion I would suggest you start a new article and see where that ends up (instead of reverting the deletion), as a lot of information back in the 2006 version would have been out of date. -WinHunter 07:30, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
