Hi, sorry, I missed this one (I was away over the Christmas holidays). I’ve had a look, it’s not polite but I don’t think it rises to the level of being ‘grossly offensive’ to warrant being redacted and simply ignoring it is sufficient in the circumstances. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 08:58, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Malcolmn,

Just wondering. Why is this page deleted?

Hello Mkou88.

The page had earlier been moved out of article space into user space and all that was left was a

that I deleted as we don’t retain redirects that cross over from article space to user space.

The page itself had been moved to

Hey Malcolm - I was just looking at the block log for 2600:8800:FF0E:1200:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · block user · block log) - currently blocked for trolling current events portals - and noticed a previous block from you for block evasion. Is this range connected to a registered master, or have they just used varying IPs to get around previous blocks? Home Lander (talk) 22:18, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Home Lander, I don’t recall that block but looking back, a block was certainly justified! I expect they were evading a block by IP hopping and I dealt with it, as I usually do, by blocking the /64 subnet. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:30, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

OK, that's what I figured. They've continued to IP-hop since then, and it led to an ANI discussion and another rangeblock. Thankfully this range seems quite exclusive to this one editor. Home Lander (talk) 22:46, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Malcolmxl5. You an article titled

Hi Marchjuly, it is similar but not identical. In particular, it has 22 citations whereas the page that went to AfD had only four. Given that, I would suggest assessing it for notability (do the citations show significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject?) and sending it back to AfD if appropriate. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for checking. There are other editors besides the creator now working on it, so maybe whatever issues it had at the time it was deleted have now been resolved. I just was curious as to whether G4 applied, but that doesn't seem to be the case. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:24, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Malcolmxl5. Just thought you should know about Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Texancool/Archive#18 January 2018. I was not aware that the article had been being re-created by a sock when I posted above and have no connection to the SPI. For what it's worth, it did seem, however, that others beside the sock had started working on it and were trying to improve it. I'm not sure if that would've been enough to survive an AfD, but the sources were probably a bit better this time around, at least good enough for the article to not be tagged for speedy deletion. There was still quite a lot of promotional stuff in the article for sure, but it might have survived as a stub containing only the content which could be reliably sourced. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:54, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about the SPI, Marchjuly. I guess that’s the end of that. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 07:14, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello Malcolmxl5, Please check whether this recently recreated article qualifies for G4. Here is the link to previous deletion discussion. Regards Hitro talk 09:56, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi HitroMilanese, it’s the same person but the content is different and there are many more citations so I don’t think this is G4 material. I suggest assessing the citations for significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and, if appropriate, taking it back to AfD. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:36, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! I noticed you recently deleted the article for Lady Kitty Spencer. I am considering rewriting the article, since she actually is notable, beyond her noble statues and relation to the royal family, as a fashion model in the United Kingdom. I wanted to check in with you before doing so. Her modeling has been covered by reliable sources, for example: Town and Country Town and Country Vanity Fair Today InStyle Hello Magazine Hello Magazine The Times Huffington Post. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 23:19, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

It had me baffled! What was I doing wrong, Malcolmxl5? Was it because the 1st AfD was closed incorrectly, and the closer forgot to do something? ^{Atsme📞📧} 00:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Malcolmxl5 I'm just wondering why you deleted the Andrew Rowland page recently? I've read the earlier Feb discussions relating to this page and think the page should be restored but I do not know how to do this. The notoriety (which I think does comply with the Wikipedia biography guidelines) comes from his elected position representing UK medical doctors as the Head of the UK Delegation to the European Union of Medical Specialists (not least because of his elected role nationally as the UK leads up to Brexit, and as a charity founder, to give just two examples. How can the page be restored, please? Sheffield Warrier (talk) 22:45, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Sheffield Warrier (I have moved your question here; this page is not protected at the moment so you ought to be able to edit here). The Andrew Rowland article was deleted as a result of a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew Rowland in which the participants felt that Mr Rowland was not notable enough for an article in the encyclopaedia. Wikipedia has criteria for what might be included in the encyclopaedia, chief among those is the ‘notability’ criteria: People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. I can restore the article to your user space where you can work on it to improve it to that standard if that’s what you would like to do. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:31, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Malcolmxl5. Thanks for your reply! I can see the article is back in my user space so I will work on it there. No problem. Thank you Sheffield Warrier (talk) 09:39, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Good morning,

Having spent the past four years creating a page about an English cricketer, Paul Davidge, who I have followed for some time, I have logged in today to find my page has been deleted. The discussion page makes unfounded claims, which are both incorrect and without evidence. This subject is one of about twenty English players (I am not claiming them to be international when I use this term) who I believe have played a significant number of high class/grade matches to warrant recognition. Until now I have been creating pages on Patrick Turk, Peter Dennett, James Hayward’s and Paul Carter to name a few who have had distinguished careers in High level and Minor County Cricket, which is the second tier of English domestic cricket. I note that other sportspeople playing in tier two domestic sport are recognised on Wikipedia.

The reasons for my request for re-publication are as follows:

- PD has played over 50 Minor County matches. These are classified on both ESPN Cricinfo, Cricket archive and the Minor Counties CA website.

- Please note that information on both Cricketarchive and ESPN is not fully up to date and never has been. (i.e. it states Davidge’s Major teams as Berkshire and then it lists a handful of matches Davidge played for Wiltshire and then the MCC). There is a full list of teams Davidge has played for on Cricketarchive, which are all included in this original article.

- If you scroll through the Cricketarchive website you find all of the scorecards that verify all of the matches that I written about in this article. Also please note that all matches on cricket archive go under the heading of miscellaneous until their classification is

- Although there is no reference to Davidge having played first class cricket or List A cricket (of which I have not stated anyway) there are numerous examples, from scorecards that he has played in matches for teams with first class status or List A status (MCC) against teams of the same standing (Durham MCCU, Oxford MCCU, Cambridge MCCU, Cardiff MCCU, Middlesex etc.)

- Certainly the career or details of a Minor County/High Level cricketer should be highlighted, especially as there are numerous examples where these are highlighted. These teams are listed under numerous players, in their domestic profile page. Many players are recognised with their Minor Counties championship, One Day etc competition debuts as is the player in this article.

- The claim about the Australian overseas ventures are also unfounded. How long do these ‘contributors spend’ looking for evidence? If you google Paul Davidge Cricket, the details of the matches he played in in Queensland alone are readily available on the ‘mycricket’ page.

- I have accuilated the stats myself from scorecards I have read, as ESPN has this information stored in its archive. Therefore I am happy for these to be taken out. I am also happy to edit this article if it is required, although as previously stated all of the information is true and correct. Some of the information such as the rankings in Australia is evidence I received from hard copy press articles, therefore online referencing is difficult.

I am disappointed that I was not contacted about this, especially as I first penned this article in 2014 (4 years ago), 2 years after first watching this subject play in the Netherlands. I have held off publishing my other contributions about, who I think are cricketers of note, until this is resolved.

I do think this is an article about a cricketer of High standing as are the article I have written about cricketers of the Same ilke.

@Silvercar82: I’m sorry to hear that you were not notified of the deletion discussion and so were unable to present your arguments. I do not think I can overturn the closure so may I suggest opening a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review asking for the deletion discussion to be reopened on the basis that there were substantial procedural errors in the deletion discussion because you as a substantial contributor to the article were not notified and were unable to present counter-arguments to those presented. Let me know if you do this and I will comment. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:24, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

As to ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar_Biran .. can you just block the computer of the vandal(s), and keep the article open for other editors? This guy is competing in the Winter Olympics now. --2604:2000:E016:A700:1CFB:32A9:4513:C756 (talk) 19:52, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

† Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.

Guideline and policy news

• The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
• Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
• A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
• A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.

Technical news

• CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
• The edit filter has a new feature contains_all that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.

• Bhadani (Gangadhar Bhadani) passed away on 8 February 2018. Bhadani joined Wikipedia in March 2005 and became an administrator in September 2005. While he was active, Bhadani was regarded as one of the most prolific Wikipedians from India.

I've moved this to Draft as the new article didn't have anything notable that couldn't already be said at the author's article. It is currently redirecting to the author.

Okay, I of course see the two edits made by Salvidrim! and Dw122339 on the article today, but it looks to me like they were trying to help control the flood of incoming IP users' changes rather than add to the dispute here - let me know if you feel differently and I'll be happy to discuss.

Ha, yes. I didn’t want to use ‘vandalism’ because it seemed good faith but clumsy editing by newbies, maybe ‘disruptive editing’ would have been better.

Oh dear, Stevebradley1, it’s not a threat or a sanction or anything like that, it’s just a notice letting you know what the state of play on biographies of living persons is. That’s something you ought be aware of, right? OK, you made a mistake, it happens. Searching for "David Cassidy death" is of course going give results about his ‘death’ - that’s confirmation bias. Trying searching for ‘David Cassidy’ in Google News and filter the results by the last 24 hours and you’ll see he’s very much alive though critically ill. His death, whenever it happens, will be reported in multiple reputable sources - keep an eye on the New York Times (he was born in Manhattan, they will cover it). --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:51, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

This page was created as similar pages for lots of other nationalities. I note with interest that the one for Ghana is noted to be irrelevant or duplication but that for other countries such as

I understand the frustration at seeing a page deleted, Natsubee, when similar pages still exist, it happens surprisingly often. Given there was a consensus that the list of Ghana heads of states was inappropriate content for the encyclopaedia then it follows that the list of heads of state of Greece by age and list of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom by age are also inappropriate content and should also be nominated for deletion. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:41, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

I don't dispute that. What is interesting is how quickly articles about third world issues are deleted but those from Europe and North America with far more hits are more difficult to identify as inappropriate. Interesting! --Natsubee (talk) 23:49, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, yes, Wikipedia is well known for having a systematic bias. Lesser coverage of third world issues contributes to that. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:58, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Malcolmxl5!

On January 30, 2018 you deleted the page Labour Law Plus: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Labor_Law_Plus&action=edit&redlink=1. I am wondering what I can do to improve this page? I've noticed that there are a number of larger law offices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLA_Piper and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidley_Austin for example) who remain despite having similar news articles to those I had.

Any insight you can provide would be so helpful.

I was not aware of any articles being deleted as a consequence. Some I had not contributed to, may have lacked sufficient notability. It is hard to tell if any of those in the list above had sufficient notability. Restoring them in the first instance seems to be the best way forward. Graemp (talk) 20:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

  WP:NOQUORUM: The closer should make it clear the deletion is a soft delete as part of the close, ideally with a link to this guideline. Rather, I used the discretion that was given to me by WP:NOQUORUM (in March 2016) to close the discussion - the discussion may be closed at the closer's discretion and best judgement. - as delete in favour of the nominator's stated proposal. That said, I recognise we have since moved to treating these discussions with one or few participants as expired PRODs, which is reflected in the paragraph added in July 2017 following a RFC, and I’m happy to restore them on that basis. I’ll ping you when I’ve done this. --Malcolmxl5 (talk

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2018).

Administrator changes

331dot • Cordless Larry • ClueBot NG

Gogo Dodo • Pb30 • Sebastiankessel • Seicer • SoLando

Guideline and policy news

• Administrators who have been desysopped due to inactivity are now required to have performed at least one (logged) administrative action in the past 5 years in order to qualify for a resysop without going through a new RfA.
• Editors who have been found to have engaged in sockpuppetry on at least two occasions after an initial indefinite block, for whatever reason, are now automatically considered banned by the community without the need to start a ban discussion.
• The notability guideline for organizations and companies has been substantially rewritten following the closure of this request for comment. Among the changes, the guideline more clearly defines the sourcing requirements needed for organizations and companies to be considered notable.
• The six-month autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) ended on 14 March 2018. The post-trial research report has been published. A request for comment is now underway to determine whether the restrictions from ACTRIAL should be implemented permanently.

Technical news

• There will soon be a calendar widget at Special:Block, making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee

Miscellaneous

• A discussion has closed which concluded that administrators are not required to enable email, though many editors suggested doing so as a matter of best practice.
• The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team has released the Interaction Timeline. This shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits, which may be helpful in identifying sockpuppetry and investigating editing disputes.

Hi, With Recent Edits, You have changed Status of Page 'Sambhaji' to Protected, But there is some Controversial information which is based on poor references and Lacks Historical Evidences. There are several attempts for User to remove the Information from the Page but the information is reintroduced with Your recent Edits, I request You to Remove the Sensitive Information from the page with procedure or help people who are in agreement, with Further steps As We are exploring legal ways for removing the same, I believe there are other ways and forums for resolving the disputes than stopping people from their right to Update the information with references.

@Historyprotect: I see that you changed “Suggest us Further steps“ to “help MD with Further steps“. I have no idea what that means. It is clear that you do not write sufficiently well in English to be editing the English Wikipedia and I would encourage you to find and edit the Wikipedia that is written in your native language. So far as the article is concerned, I protected it due to a pattern of disruptive editing on that page. Since the protection has been effective in curbing the disruptive behaviour, and you are able to edit the page, I see no reason to lift it. So far as the content is concerned, editors should find a consensus as to what sources say on the talk page. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:57, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

@Malcomx15 I was asking for help regarding the procedure to remove content which are controversial in Nature & there is no consensus between Editors and people who requested the change in Content. I may not be the best When it comes to writing in English, Ironically People Who written this Content also do not belong to this Region or language,Still they have added contents which are sensitive and Controversial. I request editors and Who Protected the page to learn Language 'Marathi' in which they will find good and authentic literature to study further. Also to clarify further, to help 'Us', in this context 'US' means people who are in agreement that Content is controversial and to get removed and seeking further help to resolve conflict. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historyprotect (talk • contribs) 15:59, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi [[User:Shayaanahmadnoori|Shayaanahmadnoori]], you can of course write a new article but if it is not to be deleted again, you will need to take onboard the concerns expressed in the

significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other and independent of the subject found to attest to the subject’s notability. If you do attempt a new article, I would suggest that you do this in draft space and put it forward for review using {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page before it is moved to article space. --Malcolmxl5 (talk

Hi Malcomxl5,

I have List of rivers of Bavaria on my watchlist and therefore noted your deletion of the article Kalten and your removal of the entry Kalten from this list. As far as I understand you deleted Kalten because it was a redir to the deleted article List of The Elenium and The Tamuli characters. However, can you please check whether there was an older version of Kalten that is a proper article about a German river, and if so, copy this version somewhere to my userspace?

My reason:

The entry Kalten was already present in Dr. Blofeld's first version of the list. It was obviously copied from the German version of the list from August 28. 2011. At this time, there existed a river article named Kalten in the German Wikipedia. Since then, this article has been moved in the German Wikipedia to Kaltenbach (Mangfall), because Kaltenbach seems the more common name for this river.

From this, I conclude that some older version of Kalten in the English Wikipedia contains useful material for a new river article Kaltenbach (Mangfall) which I want to create. I assume that the article Kalten here in the Englisch Wikipedia was simply vandalised and replaced by a redir to List of The Elenium and The Tamuli characters. Therefore, the second newest version should be the proper river article.

Thank you, I hope my theory is correct --j (talk) 18:10, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

@Cyfal: Hi, Cyfal. Yes, Kalten was a redirect to ‘List of The Elenium and The Tamuli characters’. The page started life in 2005 as a short article about a ‘knight of the Pandion Order and boyhood friend of Sparhawk’(!) and was redirected in 2006. There is no history of any article about a river there. I guess that when Dr. Blofeld created the list, the link was blue and it was overlooked that the linked page was not about a river. We have I think an article that is missing and a opportunity to create one. :) --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:08, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your work and your explanations! Thus, the knight did even manage to appear on the list of rivers of Bavaria! Ok, I will then create the river article again, but this time with a real river. --Cyfal (talk) 19:15, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Dear Marcolmx15, as you might be informed by C.Fred, I launched a contest for the deletion of the page Geodakyan Evolutionary Theory of Sex. I am totally not the author and I am willing to make just one more extra step to restore the page, just as a matter of principle to fight Editorial biases. Mr. Lem, who consistently vandalized the page during its existence, is the only opponent to this page, and he openly expressed his biases towards Russian science during the discussions on the Talk page. I wished you looked at this discussion first before making the deletion to see that Mr. Lem sneaked in his AfD when nobody was watching the page at the end of University term. We, mathematical biologists, are scientists and professors, we don't monitor Wikipedia all the time, and it is sad that biases of a single Editor can kill the page so easy and fast, but it takes many bureaucratic, almost impossible steps to restore it. The ETS theory is very technical and only experts can recommend either deletion or improvement of the page, and it is hard to believe that immediately, same day after Mr. Lem posted the AdD, 2 opinions emerged for deletion (it is hard to find experts on this topic), and btw, their arguments were not true. The theory is well-known in Russian science (see the references to the reports of the Academy of Science, rather a large and respectful academic organization). The fact that it was proposed in a non-English language and was not exposed to the West due to the Iron Curtain should be irrelevant. So, please restore the page as the consensus was not reached (considering the opinions on the Talk page) and was made-up based on just two false opinions. Plus, C.Fred recommended me to contact you for the access to the archive of the Talk page of this deleted page. If you feel that the page should not be restored, the history of existence and deletion of this page is a good examples of the flaws of the Wikipedia editing. Instead of contacting all members of discussants of this page for a restoration I will rather launch a discussion of editorial biases, and I need an assess to the archives. Thank you for your work on it. KaiStr (talk) 09:37, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Dear KaiStr.

I am the uninvolved administrator who closed the deletion discussion. The nomination for deletion and the deletion discussion were in accord with the deletion processes of the English Wikipedia. So far as the closure is concerned, it was clear to me that there was consensus that the article should be deleted because the topic had not

received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject

. I do not see any other way of closing the deletion discussion other than delete and I do not see any basis on which I can overturn the result.

So where to go from here.

If you believe that there were substantial procedural errors in the deletion discussion or that I interpreted the consensus incorrectly, you may request a deletion review at

WP:DRV

for one or the other (or both) of these reason(s). I do not believe that there were errors in the discussion or that I interpreted the consensus incorrectly.

Alternatively, if you were to produce evidence of “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”, you may ask for a deletion review and argue that the deleted page should be recreated because “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject” exist.

Whatever you choose to do, I suggest strongly that you stop making reference to Mr. Lem and other editors and focus entirely on sources. The deleted article talk page can be found at User:Discospinster/Geodakyan's evolutionary theory of sex.

Pinging all those mentioned or involved here: @KaiStr, C.Fred, Discospinster, and Staszek Lem: --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:17, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

P.S. It is summer and I am not around very much so I may not reply swiftly to any responses.

Thank you very much for the link to the archive. Also thank you for listing the rules but how was it "clear to you that there was consensus about low coverage" if right on the discussion page the conclusion, as posted by another administrator, was that the topic is "probably notable"? It is hard not to mention Mr. Lem as, looking from the Talk page, 1) he was the only, single major opponent, and 2) it was he who nominated the page for deletion AFTER the consensus about "probably notable" was reached on the Talk page. This is not my theory, so I am not going to break my head to restore it, but I am certainly motivated to improve Wikipedia's rules, and use this ETS page history as a public example. Just look again at the Talk page and get a sense of which side you are on. You, as a deleting Editor, at least in theory, should note the biases of the Editor who nominated the page for deletion (simply from the review of the Talk page). Just to make a "kill" decision on 2 quick postings "for delete", ignoring the fact that they emerged almost on the day of the AfD by Mr. Lem might look like a rather negligent decision. I kindly ask you to review your decision again, and we will go from there.KaiStr (talk) 09:37, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

@

WP:DRV and the English Wikipedia community will consider whether the article should be recreated. --Malcolmxl5 (talk

) 19:42, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

@Malcolmxl5: 1) The absense of the rule for deleting administrator to screen for biases of the parties proposing the deletion troubles me. The Wikipedia should protect pages from deletion by biased individuals who has a personal vendetta against specific pages/theories/items, etc. requiring a specific expertise. Is Mr. Lem a mathematical biologist? Did he edit many biological pages? The ETS page would not be deleted if there is a rule that the AfD cannot be posted by a user/Editor who has earlier expressed a biased opinion or showed actions against a given page. That what the case with Mr. Lem: he had many actions and postings of opposing nature on the Talk page. An uninvolved administrator should first screen for biases in the party posting the AfD simply by looking at the Talk page, this is manageable and not very far to go. Once you saw the biases, there should be a mechanism to stop the deletion as the proposition for deletion came from a biased source.

2) Plus if the subject relates to science, an AfD should be posted only by experts in this field. Mr. Lem's arguments are more in line that "Russians have a lot of pseudoscience" but nothing specific. This sounds like like a national bias. These two rules should be discussed with the community using the ETS case, if the page is not restored. 3) Re: "significant coverage" - the discussion in regards to such coverage WAS going on for an year, and at least decision by the administrators of the Wikipedia WAS MADE that there is probably some exposure. Russian colleagues would argue that there was a massive exposure, considering the size of Russian population, but at least some exposure was officially already accepted. So now you are telling us that the contribution of opinions on the Talk page means nothing and we have to start all over again with gathering opinions. I am not a social animal, I am just a scientist, and not a young one, so I simply don't have energy to go in loops between deletions and restorations using the same arguments for years only because Wikipedia cannot protect the page from one, single biased Editor. I am asking the Administrators who killed the page to reverse their decision, as I believe that it was not based on a consensus. Mr. Lem already attempted to delete the page in the past, a consensus was to keep it, why should we repeat this cycle again? I am explaining that all steps to gain consensus for keeping the page was already made and these steps should not be ignored. You suggest to repeat a round of support for evidence that I observed earlier, and this is not very productive way of protection against individuals with biases. When I have time, I rather go directly at the Administration level, to discuss current policies of the Wikipedia than fight over a single page about one of rather complex theories of mathematical biology. 4) Another rule about deletion should be added for a balance of the time frame for deletion: Now 7 days for the AfD has more weight for the decision about the deletion, even when it is based on two, superficial, few-words and wrong opinions than much longer and and much more detailed discussion, with more parties involved, with more references and evidence. Something should be done about it, at least Administrators deleting the page should compare the activity on the Talk page and activity on the Deletion page. People who post their opinions on Talk pages do it using their time and intellectual resources, and their contributions should be equally respected. Same, as I truly respect your time reading this and thinking about it.KaiStr (talk) 17:31, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
