Racial hoax AFD close

[edit]

I think your close at the Racial hoax AFD was problematic. Even though the "keep" voters certainly outnumbered the deletes, not a single one of them gave any actual substantive arguments in favor of keeping, and the strength of arguments were certainly strongly in favor of deletion. For example, "Keep real topic, meets WP:GNG." A vote as useless as this should be utterly discounted, along with all the others. Please reconsider, thanks. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:44, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a clear consensus that GNG is met, and therefore a clear consensus against deletion for notability reasons. Therefore, the only two possible options other than keep are: 1) delete due to extremely poor quality (WP:TNT based on WP:OR/WP:SYNTH concerns); 2) merge due to insufficient standalone notability (WP:NOTINHERITED). However, I did not find a consensus for either of these options. I've discounted Gumbear's !vote as being not based in policy, leaving behind 4 !votes to keep and 3 !votes to merge or delete. -- King of ♥ 17:47, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request disambiguation

[edit]

I noticed that you created that disambiguation page Half-court. This gives trouble at Template:Basketball. There the term half-court is used for equipment. I hope that you are able to adjust the link there to the correct place, as equipment is neither a shot nor 3x3. Thank you in advance. The Banner talk 09:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- King of ♥ 16:57, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of WestNet Wireless for deletion

[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article WestNet Wireless is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WestNet Wireless (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Doing a history merge

[edit]

Hi King of Hearts,
I just found out that "cut and paste article moves" are no longer "kosher," these days. I was working on the article for Big Diomede, and wanted to move it to Big Diomede Island so it would match the nomenclature used for Little Diomede Island, but because there was already a Redirect at the "target article-url," I did a "cut and paste move," instead of a normal move. Is there any chance you (or someone else) could possibly please merge the histories of Big Diomede Island and Big Diomede, and leave the merged history at the Big Diomede Island article, where the article currently resides? I'm not even sure if it's kosher for me to be asking this of you as an administrator but I thought it wouldn't hurt for me to give it a try. I chose to ask you as the first administrator that I'm asking because I reason, "Anyone with the name like 'King of Hearts' can't be all bad." 🙂
Thanks kindly,

PS: I sense that W.C. Fields, who once said that, "Anyone who hates babies and dogs.... can't be all bad," would probably beg to differ with me on my reasoning for asking you, but I take my chances!
