The Admin's Barnstar
I'm really impressed by the work you've been doing undeleting invalid R3s. I've seen admins that were overly trigger happy on deleting with that criterion, so the fact that someone is looking into it and acting is good to know! Redirects may not win glamor, but they're important, and your concern for them is appreciated. --Fyre2387 23:19, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Defective application of administrative guidelines reversed
Thank you for your recent contributions to Wikipedia:Deletion review, where a significant defect in the application of CSD has been successfully reversed.. Your diligence was fundamental to the rescue of an improperly-deleted article.
The article now carries the appropriate tag
{{notability}}
giving interested parties the requisite time and -access to bring it into compliance with relevant guidelines.
Your contribution is mentioned in this entry thanking the deleting admin for his involvement. Patronanejo 06:02, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RfD backlog

There is a large backlog of discussions at RfD awaiting closing, some outstanding for over a month. I cannot close any of the discussions from 6 June or earlier (and probably some later than that too), so if you have the time it would be very helpful if you could help reduce the backlog. Thank you, Thryduulf (talk) 11:42, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Boxx has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unremarkable, experimental programming language with no references to establish its notability. (The references in the article do not pertain to the topic at all.)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be

deleted for any of several reasons
.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 11:30, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Boxx for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Boxx 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/Boxx (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 09:59, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I kinda owe you an apology not because Wikipedia says so but because I say so

Rossami,

In the last few days I have been hitting your arguments for keeping things pretty hard over at

WP:RfD
. Please believe me that this is in no way anything personal and I see the good work you do and all the contributions you make, it just happens to be a run of bad luck for both of us that we are on opposing sides on every argument.

I have tried to make it not look like any kind of personal attack, which it certainly isn't, attacking your argument not you personally. However, if it has ever seemed like that, I can only and sincerely apologise.

I would hope if we ever met in person we would both also argue vigorously while sharing a bottle of wine or whatever is your fancy.

I can assure you once again it is not a personal attack over at RfD and nobody - not a single person or an admin or anything - has warned me, but I can see how it might look like it. I have made a similar but less personal apology over at RfD but felt I should do so here. Thanks for leaving the message on my user talk page, that kinda broke the ice. Si Trew (talk) 06:48, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"...Re"

Hi Rossami, I think you should reconsider what happened at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 April 17#...Re. While I certainly think you're right that there wasn't consensus either way there, there was almost unanimous consensus at the RM that ...Re was ambiguous, so it really should've been retargeted at that point. Taking these discussions together, it seems clear that, while this may well be discussed more in the future, the term needs to be treated as ambiguous. (FWIW, I probably would've supported the RM.) --BDD (talk) 14:35, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
