Well...
...I was about to do the same edit you did, but with the following edit summary: "see WP:TPO ... doing that makes it seem as though CycloneYoris is responding to themselves - consider enclosing your comment in <s></s> html tags" ... and whaddya know, you said basically the same thing. Steel1943 (talk) 05:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

 Campaign for the Norwegian Centre Party at Nærbø: like its Finnish and Swedish counterparts, the party has a strong focus on decentralisation, rural and agrarian issues. Ideologically, the Centre Party is positioned in the centre on the political spectrum.

Wikipedia:AI
I don't think there was consensus to retarget. Let me know what you think. Jay 💬 07:29, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Jay: Almost everyone that participated in that RfD is in favor of the nom's retarget proposal (except for you and Crouch, Swale). So, I do see a clear consensus for retargeting. CycloneYoris talk! 08:10, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- What do you mean by clear consensus? Other than "Support per above" and "justifiable target", what arguments did you find in favour of the retarget? What opposition did you see for the pageviews arguments in determining the primary topic? Jay 💬 09:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Jay: The question here is: What arguments did you NOT find in favor of the retarget? As I said above, almost every single participant is supporting the nom's proposal; and the fact that you are inquiring me about this is honestly baffling and borderline offensive, to say the least. CycloneYoris talk! 17:10, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- As you have not provided a rationale for the close, I am trying to understand it. Why do you find contesting of a decision offensive? You used a term "clear consensus". Can you define it, or describe what it means to you? How does it matter how many participants supported the proposal, unless you are looking at a vote count? What arguments did you find in favour of the retarget? What were your thoughts about the disambiguation suggestion and opposition to the retarget? Jay 💬 08:30, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Jay: I'm finding it hard to comprehend why you've come to my talk page in such a patronizing manner when clearly I've done nothing wrong! As I've repeatedly said in this thread, there is a clear and almost unanimous consensus for retargeting, and I'm not sure why you're seemingly pretending that there isn't? I honestly have nothing else to add, consensus is clear enough, as there are more support !votes that one can count. The proposal to disambiguate did not gain enough support, or else I would've relisted. I also didn't feel the need to add a closing rationale, as everything seemed quite clear in my opinion. Any other editor would've closed that RfD with the exact same result, so I don't understand why you're making such a big deal out of this? Also, if you're so dissatisfied with the current result then you always have the option to renominate; since it wasn't a deletion proposal, then there's nothing stopping you from immediately renominating the same redirect. If that's what you wish to do so, then go ahead! I've now made myself clear, and will not respond to any further inquiries on this matter. CycloneYoris talk! 22:06, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- You made a close, and I came to your talk page to ask about it. I do not know why you have taken it personally (
I've done nothing wrong
), or chose to target me back rather than answer the questions about the close or adding a closing summary. See WP:Closing discussions#Challenging other closures which sayscontact the editor who performed the closure and try to resolve the issue through discussion.
For your suggestion of renominating it immediately, closed RfDs are not renominated immediately unless the new nomination rationale is sufficiently different from the previous, or there has been a change in target, or changes at the target, rendering the previous close redundant. In this case, the next step would be request review at the Administrators' noticeboard, since you are not willing to respond further. Jay 💬 07:42, 5 March 2023 (UTC)- I don't know if a third party's input will actually help anything at this point, but for what it's worth: Jay, I agree with CycloneYoris that the consensus is rather obvious on this one. Six people (including nom) wanted to retarget to Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence, arguing that AI is normally an abbreviation for artificial intelligence and where someone would expect to land. You argued that Wikipedia:Article incubator is historically the more important page, which is a sound argument but, with the arguments on both sides being valid, not even close to overcoming the fact that your position was outvoted 3:1 (a huge margin by WP standards).
- On the other hand: CycloneYoris, I am not sure why you found it offensive that someone came here to ask about your close. Wikipedia runs on discussion, and when someone finds something unclear, it is natural that they ask about it. If you intend to close discussions regularly, it will inevitably happen that someone disagrees with you and asks about it. Editors disagree constantly on everything, and this in know way implies anything about their opinions of each other's wisdom or intelligence. Jay's choice to begin this thread with: "I disagree with you, please explain" was not especially tactful but also not really uncivil, and, respectfully, I think your reaction was not appropriate. I'm not trying to attack you or anything; I just want to point out that I think you crossed a line (we all do that sometimes and need to be corrected; in my case, not even three weeks ago) and encourage you to temper your reactions a little bit.
- I hope that input helps. Best wishes to you both. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 16:54, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Compassionate727: Thank you for your input! I agree that my approach to this situation wasn't the best, and in hindsight, I now realize that I did overreact and should have dealt with things in a more neutral and appropriate way. I simply felt overwhelmed by the amount of questions that Jay was asking, which I felt were unwarranted for such an uncontroversial close (not to say that their questions weren't valid, but I simply didn't understand why they were asking so much, as if consensus wasn't clear enough). I truly appreciate your input and advice, and I'll try my best to temper my reactions from now on (as I've always done in the past). Best wishes to you too!

Santiago Rublico
@CycloneYoris:, Why did you relist Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santiago Rublico when there was clearly a consensus to keep (9 keep votes, 3x as many as delete votes (3 votes)), surely if this was the other way around (9 delete 3 keep) this would be deleted... Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Das osmnezz: You seem to be forgetting about WP:NOTAVOTE. Clearly the delete votes (even though they were slightly outnumbered) were much stronger and outweighed those that voted for keeping the article. Not to mention that the discussion was still pretty active before my relist, so any other editor would've done the same; and closing it would've been a hell of a BADNAC from my part.
