Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Coffee Lounge

Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Coffee Lounge (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) — (MfD)

The MfD was closed only a day after nomination, potentially shutting out voters. Alethiophile2₃ 00:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Fixed MfD link, Chris talk back 00:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• We have no voters, because XfD are not votes. That said, the discussion was closed rather quickly, after only 6 hours. The reasoning in the debate appears cogent, though. Chris talk back 00:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion. The arguments were sound, and there was indeed an overwhelming consensus to delete. Process isn't there so large consensuses can be filibustered due to masses of "Keep because I like it!" votes. -Amarkov _edits 02:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse Deletion, valid MfD. Naconkantari 02:45, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Not to be patronizing, but don't you think that an MfD closed after 6 hours deserves a little more explanation for endorsement than "valid MfD"? -Amarkov _edits 02:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• I just found out Esperanza has an IRC channel; they remain free to talk about beverages there. —Centrx→talk • 09:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse. Overwhelming consensus on both the Overhaul and MFD. Will 10:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse, I believe Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Overhaul/Coffee Lounge counts as substantial support for deletion from the people who use it. (Radiant) 12:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

&Endorse. I may not have closed it that quickly, but there's no reason to have another 250K MfD page with no cogent arguments in favor of keeping. The fact that there appears to be a concensus at Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Overhaul/Coffee Lounge for deletion provides an added reason for deletion. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• Endorse Deletion - a case of common sense over pedantry. Per the arguments above, and also WP:IAR. Moreschi 18:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion, though not early close as it was pointless. However, the nominator has not given us any reason to think that it would have ended differently had it continued. --Sam Blanning 22:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Overturn - closure after 6 hours? Good grief! I fully support getting rid of the thing, but you can't just close an MFD after six hours. Plenty of users don't edit over the weekend. Anyone who didn't just so happen to check MFD during that 6-hour period was shut out of the process. BigDT 03:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• overturn. 6 Hours obviously isn't long enough, you can't judge an "overwhelming consensus" that quickly. --badlydrawnjeff talk 03:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion, the "not available on the weekend" argument holds no water. It doesn't mean that the entirety of Esperanza wasn't available. The Coffee Lounge is a waste of space on WikiPedia. It's not a chat room.--WaltCip 05:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse, common sense should be applied here (for once!) Proto::type 13:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• On another note, prepare for the Esperanza cavalry to come here and apply 20 "overturns" in 20 minutes...--WaltCip 14:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• Endorse closure. If the Esperanza cavalry makes an appearance they'll have to contend with the Cabal's Own Pikemen, by gad! Misplaced Pages is not a chatroom. Don't they have an IRC channel (if not, why not)? Mackensen (talk) 14:42, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse - It was going to be deleted anyway, by Esperanzans. Cabalist calvary ready for any charges by Esperanzans. And if anyone was shut out of the process, they should be here....and I don't see anyone but badlydrawnjeff. --Elaragirl 20:52, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse the prior discussion at Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Overhaul/Coffee Lounge was factored in to the early close and WP:SNOW probably applies by its terms (though I think it makes a better speedy keep than a speedy delete argument). Per WP:SNOW, WP:IAR, Arthur Rubin, and others above nothing would be gained by reopening the discussion so it should remain closed. That said, I would encourages closers to let these discussions run longer, at least 24 hors if not the full five days, unless an explict sppedy criterion at least arguably applies.

• Endorse deletion, it was deleted per the overhaul by Esperanzians. If you really want this back go try talking with them; don't take it to Misplaced Pages in general just yet. --Cyde Weys 22:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion, this was obviously snowballing, and only one objection here has been registered here thus far. Seraphimblade 09:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
