closing the DRV on the TEJ GIRI topic (October 23)

Thank you for closing the DRV on the TEJ GIRI topic (October 23) with a result of "delete." Draftify might indeed have been a better choice since there were many sources, but limited discussion on AFD compared to DRV. If you have any suggestions on how I could improve my contributions or avoid similar outcomes in the future, I’d really appreciate it. Specifically, I’m curious (AFD selection and DELETE result on DRV) about any weaknesses in the AFD process that may have influenced this result. Thanks again, and please feel free to skip this if it’s not necessary.Endrabcwizart (talk) 14:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Can you please link to that DRV? Sandstein 06:32, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

I am waiting for your response. Endrabcwizart (talk) 04:49, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I haven't received any response yet. I kindly request you to restore it as a draft, highlighting the issues that caused the result to be marked as "delete." Endrabcwizart (talk) 11:07, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@Endrabcwizart, sorry for the late reply. I have no particular advice to give, since my role as DRV closer is limited to assessing consensus in the DRV, and therefore I have not formed an opinion of my own about the article at issue. You should address your restoration request to the deleting admin Sandstein 15:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I have no idea on "restoration request." Could you please let me know where I can find it? Endrabcwizart (talk) 16:47, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Just ask the deleting admin on their talk page. Sandstein 19:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

"Male protagonist bingo" listed at Redirects for discussion

The redirect Male protagonist bingo has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Anyone, including you, is welcome to comment on this redirect at Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 November 24 § Male protagonist bingo until a consensus is reached.

Article rename

Thank you for your recent renaming of the article on Allison Bailey. However, I think the correct title is:

Bailey v Stonewall, Garden Court Chambers and Others

https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/bailey-v-stonewall-garden-court-chambers-and-others/

You've used the title of the EAT appeal, not the original case. Void if removed (talk) 19:16, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks. Sandstein 19:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

AfD result was redirect, not keep

The result at the Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Allison Bailey was "Redirect" not "keep" per the Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Administrator_instructions#Carrying_out_the_AfD_close instructions for an article that was changed in scope. Could you correct that? Raladic (talk) 19:23, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

No, in my judgment rough consensus in the AfD was to keep the article, albeit with a somewhat different title and scope. A redirect would be something different, namely, suppressing the original article's contents and pointing it to another existing article. That was not what the AfD decided on. Sandstein 19:26, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

The people that voted for it to be moved to a courtcase have really not actually passed the burden of proof that the case is notable, it looks very run-off-the-mill which likely fails WP:EVENTCRIT. I'm fine that it was redirected for now, but I would like to note that that was not a keep by any measure of the word, that was a redirect.

The BLP was not notable and was not kept, so a 'keep' result is disingenious as the new article is entirely not in having kept the BLP, it was redirected to a new title and different scope, which by itself, may not meet the burden of WP:EVENTCRIT and may itself be subject to AfD. Raladic (talk) 19:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, Misplaced Pages is not a legal system, we don't require anyone to meet a particular burden of proof. What matters is rough consensus, and here that consensus was to keep the article with a change in name and scope. The article was renamed, not redirected. You are free to disagree, and to either appeal the closure at WP:DRV, or to start a new AfD. Sandstein 19:36, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not saying the rough consensus wasn't to move, I'm just saying that "keep" is the wrong word used on the closure, it was "moved" or "redirected". Raladic (talk) 19:42, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

The article was moved, yes, but that's noted in the closure, and does not conflict with keeping it. It was not however redirected, see WP:REDIRECT. Sandstein 19:45, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, now that the article has been focused on the legal case, sans puffery that was filled in the previous BLP article, it's pretty clear that it's a run-off-the-mill routine legal case, so I've followed your suggestion and filed an Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bailey v Stonewall, Garden Court Chambers and Others for the case article itself as I don't think it actually passes the WP:EVENTCRIT notability criteria.

Request for advice

I have very little experience of deletion discussions. I see that according to WP:APPNOTE An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion can place a message at any of the following:…. I don’t know what ‘uninvolved’ means in this context.

The guidance later says: for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it.. I’m wondering whether it would be normal/acceptable to notify everyone who participated in the deletion discussion on Allison Bailey that there has been an immediate proposal to delete the renamed article I would be grateful for your advice on these matters. Sweet6970 (talk) 23:14, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Please may I have a reply to my request for advice. Thank you. Sweet6970 (talk) 12:14, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@Sweet6970, sorry for the late reply. "Uninvolved" means somebody who has not yet expressed a view. My understanding is that notifying all participants to the earlier AfD about the second one would be acceptable. Sandstein 17:24, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Sweet6970 (talk) 20:33, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

You closed this AfD, which is fine, I haven't yet got hold of the book source that may or may not establish notability. (I should have done this before deletion but) Is there any way of you copying the source to my user space so I could potentially improve before resurrection? U003F 07:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, here's the deleted article (will expire in 7 days): https://pastebin.com/c8cind7y Sandstein 10:04, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Super, copied, thanks. U003F 10:07, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

WP:Articles for deletion/List of health insurance executives in the United States

Hi Sandstein,

It was a tricky AfD to close, but after discarding the canvassed and non-P&G votes, I see a consensus to delete. I found two threads on Reddit canvassing for votes, and I'm sure others exist. What you said about NLIST is true, but I believe the Keep !voters did not adequately refute the issues of NLIST and CROSSCAT, which was nicely summarized by Dclemens1971 there. I'd be willing to re-close (and likely face the inevitable DRV...), if that's okay with you. Owen× ☎ 20:20, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not seeing a sufficiently clear consensus to delete. There was likely canvassing going on, but canvassed opinions are typically those by IPs or new accounts, and I saw few if any of those here. So I wouldn't know who to discount. Also, while I agree that Dclemens1971 made good arguments, they were made rather late and so were unable to sway the discussion much. I think a renomination after the article stabilizes might have a better chance at a clearer consensus one way or the other. Sandstein 21:35, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Any reason not to have done a relist? Obviously a lot of participation had already happened, but it had only been open for a week, and contentious discussions seem to be relisted at least once before a N/C close. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:52, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, the discussion was quite long already, and given the general disagreement on how to deal with lists at AfD, I didn't expect that a relist would bring much more clarity. But if you think otherwise I'm fine with a relist. Sandstein 22:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
