"Sound and fury"? "The past isn't dead"? What is it with you people and the Faulkner references this month? At least find a less terrible another Southern author to borrow from, jeez. In case there's any doubt...I'm not entirely serious. Except in my antipathy for Faulkner. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa.23:36, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As the creator of Josh fight, your summary is very good. One correction - I created the article on the day of the event (not three days later). The discussion grew repetitive, but was otherwise surprisingly good considering the number of inexperienced users who flooded in from Reddit and TikTok.

It's also possibly worth noting that the Carlsen v. Nepo G6 article probably wouldn't have set a length record if there hadn't been some procedural shenanigans. It probably would have closed boringly as keep in 7 days, but was instead early closed on SNOW grounds, brought to DRV, and relisted as not-so-lopsided-as-to-qualify for SNOW. So it stayed up for another week+ after the DRV (so ~2 weeks or so total since listing the AFD) just to make extra-sure everyone had their two cents in and there wouldn't be any more worries about the close being premature. It got lots of extra attention due to that. (Is the lesson that DRV should be more flexible for allowing early closes on articles on recent news events that grow in prominence? Or that such early closes should be avoided as counterproductive? You decide.) SnowFire (talk) 18:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
