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that ends up (instead of reverting the deletion), as a lot of information back in the 2006 version would have been out of date.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)

Guideline and policy news

• The RFC discussion regarding WP:OUTING and WMF essay about paid editing and outing (see more at the ArbCom noticeboard archives) is now archived. Milieus #3 and #4 received support; so did concrete proposal #1.

Technical news

• Fuzzy search will soon be added to Special:Undelete, allowing administrators to search for deleted page titles with results similar to the search query. You can test this by adding ?fuzzy=1 to the URL, as with Special:Undelete?fuzzy=1. Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term.
• A new bot will automatically revision delete unused file versions from files in Category:Non-free files with orphaned versions more than 7 days old.

Miscellaneous

• A newly revamped database report can help identify users who may be eligible to be autopatrolled.
• A potentially compromised account from 2001–2002 attempted to request resysop. Please practice appropriate account security by using a unique password for Misplaced Pages, and consider enabling two-factor authentication. Currently around 17% of admins have enabled 2FA, up from 16% in February 2017.
• Did you know: On 29 June 2017, there were 1,261 administrators on the English Misplaced Pages – the exact number of administrators as there were ten years ago on 29 June 2007. Since that time, the English Misplaced Pages has grown from 1.85 million articles to over 5.43 million.
