Metal Injection

Hi, I am messaging you since you closed the last AFD. This article is created for the 3rd time. Does it look different enough to be different or does it look like it might qualify under Speedy Deletion of previously AFD'ed article? Graywalls (talk) 00:31, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls, I don't think the article is substantially similar, there's a lot of new text and sources. You'd need to start another AfD if you think the topic is not notable. Sandstein 06:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for 2024 Duki coal mine attack

An editor has asked for a deletion review of 2024 Duki coal mine attack. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. — Mister Banker (talk) 19:38, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

closing the DRV on the TEJ GIRI topic (October 23)

Thank you for closing the DRV on the TEJ GIRI topic (October 23) with a result of "delete." Draftify might indeed have been a better choice since there were many sources, but limited discussion on AFD compared to DRV. If you have any suggestions on how I could improve my contributions or avoid similar outcomes in the future, I’d really appreciate it. Specifically, I’m curious (AFD selection and DELETE result on DRV) about any weaknesses in the AFD process that may have influenced this result. Thanks again, and please feel free to skip this if it’s not necessary.Endrabcwizart (talk) 14:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please link to that DRV? Sandstein 06:32, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
