Closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donnell Washington

I was browsing the AfD archive and noticed that you NAC'd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donnell Washington as a speedy keep per the rationale Nomination withdrawn. To my knowledge, this is only allowed in cases where there are no non-Keep !votes. See WP:CLOSEAFD: the AfD nominator can withdraw the nomination and close a discussion as speedy keep reason #1, if all other viewpoints expressed were for Keep and doing so does not short-circuit an ongoing discussion. (emph. added). Note that there was a Delete !vote by Mvqr. That said, my interest in this is purely procedural since I don't usually participate in sports related AfDs. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:37, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagreed with that NAC close as well, but chose not to bring it up. On the merits, the six sources brought up in the AfD are mostly local Wisconsin press and are run of the will reports on players on the roster of the local team. Washington disappeared after those two seasons in which he was inactive.--Mvqr (talk) 16:17, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I am trying to get myself familiarized with XFD and RM! Thank you, Heart ^(talk) 04:06, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
