Your signature

Please be aware that your signature uses deprecated <font> tags, which are causing Obsolete HTML tags lint errors. Your signature also involves "off-label" use of an invalid font color. Specificially, darkgblue is not a valid font color, but the first two letters are treated in font markup as hexadecimal digits, like color #da0000.

You are encouraged to change

AfD

Hi HighKing. Nominators generally do not additionally record a Delete vote. An AfD nomination, by its very nature, is generally already considered to be a Delete vote. Making a separate additional vote may inhibit the accuracy of the results produced by bots that compile and report data concerning AfDs. Recommendations for others special possible closures, if required, can also normally contained in the nomination statement. Hope this helps. Happy editing.

Kudpung, there is nothing in the guidelines to state that a nomination cannot record a "Delete" summary. It is incorrect to characterise this nomination as some sort of "additional" !vote and I cannot find any AfD where it could be said that I made "a separate additional vote". Also, since AfD is not about counting !votes, not are there any "standards" in whether to agree or disagree with a nomination, I doubt if anyone is relying on bots to report on any meaningful "result" and if they are, they should update their bot.
