Your close at AN does not reflect consensus. Your partial block might be imposed of your own accord but there is also consensus is for a CIR-block, please amend. Ideally you should have waited for more people to give an opinion so you could've had a clear result. --qedk (t 愛 c) 06:13, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like we could have gone either way with this; if a full block is warranted in the end, it's easy enough to upgrade, and if the partial block is enough to get them to mend their ways, great. Anyways, there is an ongoing SPI which may make our discussion moot here, so let's wait for its conclusion. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 13:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could you restore Derek Chauvin to the last edit when it was an article and also remove the protections from the page. I think that is what it should be while a AFD is occurring and no reason not to allow edits while it is ongoing.Casprings (talk) 19:32, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some in the DRV have raised BLP issues with the current version of the article. Therefore, I felt that it was best to err on the side of caution and preserve the redirect while it is being discussed. It's looking like the AfD will be decided based solely on notability (as with 95%+ of AfDs) as opposed to the state of the article, so there is

WP:NODEADLINE and editing can resume if the article is kept. If the article is redirected, it won't be because of its current state; if there are sources you want to add then raise them in the AfD. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:01, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

I note the RFC and have supported its implementation at RMs, but there is no need to add unnecessary disambiguation when there is only one 'soccer and one 'footballer'. I have reverted your moves at Brian Bates and added hatnotes instead. GiantSnowman 14:22, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@

WP:PDAB, what you're basically doing is asserting that the American soccer player is the overwhelming primary topic of "soccer" and the British footballer is the overwhelming primary topic of "footballer"; not just ordinary primary topic, but staggeringly so in the same vein as Nirvana (band) (despite the existence of other bands called Nirvana) and Thriller (album)

(despite the existence of other albums called Thriller). Given that our audience is international and people do look up footballers in other countries, I don't think that standard is met.

Plus, if there's a British footballer and an Australian soccer player, that would be extremely problematic as it is becoming increasingly common to refer to the sport as "football" in Australia. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 14:40, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONSENSE applies here. Nobody is going to confuse the two. Americans know the sport is 'football' around the world, and British people know 'soccer' is used in the States. (Despite 'soccer' being an archaic British term, and 'football' becoming increasingly common in the States). Oh and it's been standard for a while to disambiguate by (English footballer) and (Australian footballer) - see Tom Broadbent as an example. GiantSnowman 14:58, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

]

That's different because Tom Broadbent (Australian footballer) is not a soccer player. But if he were, you would support (English footballer) and (Australian soccer)? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:03, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If they played the same code, then yes I would (although Year of Birth is always preferable given the fluid nature of nationality in association football, following the

Diego Lopez RM, where is was (correctly) moved to (soccer, born 2002) rather than (American soccer). GiantSnowman 15:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

American vs. British is probably the most extreme case possible; when it's between one American and one Mexican, I'm not so sure. Mexicans might not be familiar with the term "footballer" and expect the article with "soccer" to refer to their player; Americans near the border may in fact be more familiar with the Mexican footballer than their own countryman from (say) Ohio, particularly if the Mexican is more well-known. So I really wouldn't call soccer vs. footballer "common sense" at that point. And like you say, nationality is fluid and there are plenty of people who move to the U.S. from Latin America; for those people we have to pick one between "soccer" and "footballer" in the end of course, but it doesn't mean that it serves as a good disambiguator on its own. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:21, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Far more common than changing nationality (Ricky Shakes has had 3!) is players from country X playing at club level in country Y. I dread the day we come across an English player active in the US and an American player active in the UK... GiantSnowman 15:24, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As demonstrated by this edit, despite having received a partial block by you for their issues with using categorization properly, Cwf97 is continuing to do so, having added a category to an article which is unsupported by the article. Please let me know if you'd rather I just warned them. DonIago (talk) 13:11, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's sort of a different problem than the one they were blocked over, so I've given them a warning. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:56, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi i see you are an admin and the "Triple The Mogul" page is a protected on Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Triple_The_Mogul&action=history. From reading the AfD, i see the primary issue was lack of notability and reliable sources. However, in the past few weeks he has been in the news tremendously with his new Boxing League with famous musician

Please reach out to BD2412 instead as he is the deleting admin. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:11, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He already did, and I already told him no, because the article has repeatedly been deleted from mainspace. It needs to go through draftspace and AfC to be restored to mainspace. There is already a Draft:Triple The Mogul, which has recently been declined. BD2412 T 18:22, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On 27 June 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rachel Bitecofer, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rachel Bitecofer, who closely predicted the 2018 U.S. House election results, contends that elections are decided by negative partisanship rather than swing votes? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rachel Bitecofer), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

How much coverage is needed to be "significant"?

See

WP:NTOUR: "Such coverage might show notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms. Sources that merely establish that a tour happened are not sufficient to demonstrate notability." What I see so far from every source is merely a summary of the content of the tour, with no critical commentary or an explanation of why the tour is exceptional. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:41, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

< https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/iceland-reopens-coronavirus/index.html >

All of this information seems noteworthy for a wikipedia article by a popular musician

So I'm not really understanding why this article can't be reinstated and updated to reflect this relevant information

I'm gonna go ahead and create a new wikipedia page for the tour. The spelling of the show has changed anyway

Hello King of Hearts, could you fulfill my request here. It's just to get rid of the massive upload history. I plan on re-uploading but the completed/final version after deletion, Thank you.

I'm not aware of a way to suppress the preventive upload function. If the latest one is the final version you want, I can just delete everything else and leave that up. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:19, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
