Closing of Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Music#Names (definite article)

Hi KrakatoaKatie. It looks like this was probably not a good close, and was a mistake. That's OK, this is a very big and fast-moving project and we all make mistakes, and I've certainly made plenty, and of course no one would cast aspersion on you on you as I'm sure you do many useful and needful things here and we appreciate that, and of course no one is perfect. There's no real problem provided we move quickly to undue the mistake and move forward. Does that seem OK to you?

Here's why it was a mistake:

1. Your interpretation of the passage cited in your close is probably a misreading, and more importantly is certainly arguably a misreading. The passage was written only to clarify that that particular decision applies only to the one band, to limit the scope of that decision, not to mandate case-by-case discussions for all cases in future.
2. Case-by-case discussions generally are inefficient use of resources, and requiring them for the indefinite future would probably not be a good use of time.
3. The default is that we are permitted, as a community, to discuss and decide these things.

The best person to retract the close would be you. Could you do this favor? This would be a great boon and I'd much appreciate it, thanks! (I've not read the above thread or the WP:AN thread or the other threads mentioned there -- these sort of things tend to divide people into "camps" so let's just ignore all that; and of course I understand it's not so easy to admit a mistake, but I have confidence in your abilities to rise above all that.) Thanking you again for your service, Herostratus (talk) 01:15, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

That's great, and a testament to your character. Thanks! Herostratus (talk) 07:01, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Deepak Adhikari Dev

You had protected this against creation, without making a redirect to Dev (actor). I inadvertently moved another grossly incorrectly titled article here, before making the redirect to the correct title. So my redirect is now in place, Is there any reason why the redirect is not appropriate? If people have twice created pages under the wrong name, a redirect is the best way of preventing it, unless there's some actual objection. Pls let me know on my talk p.
