External canvassing

You were correct to point out my transgression. This was the first time I have been involved in a deletion discussion and did not understand the procedures. Again thanks, and I have deleted my Facebook post. Pommerenke (talk) 11:46, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Userfy or send copy of deleted article or its sources

Hi, Spoke to you about this previously, and seeing signpost newsletter triggered this. My concern relates to Bokaro Steel City#Education and subpage List of schools, colleges and universities in Bokaro, which I wish to improve (with a possible renaame/re-purpose of the subpage to something beyond a list). Given the recent drama around the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ARS Public School (3rd nomination) and fallout I can understand a concern to userfy, wuich I think you have indicated you would need me to take to DRV. As perhaps the key loss in ARS Public School were the sources which were generally applicable to education in Bokaro Steel City in general as an alternative could you please supply me with a list of sources from the deleted ARS Public School article including any lost through multiple revisions. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Djm-leighpark, sorry for the delayed response, have been tied up most of weekend. Will get to this tomorrow my time. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 10:46, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Thats fine. Take your time. This isn't time critical for me. Thanks. Djm-leighpark (talk) 11:10, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Daveyboyz / David Bass (page)

I find it absurd that you should target a page based even partially on the subject being a Christian or a conspiracy theorist. This seems to be an unfair bias. There were plenty of independent sources on this page, many mainstream newspapers and other media. Granted some were examples of the subjects online work, but David Bass is a public figure as presented, with a large following for around a decade. 2A00:23C6:3EAB:A801:8139:A272:A06B:EC58 (talk) 11:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. Let me echo what Joe said here. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 22:02, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

I thought this was a valuable comment (and compliment). Drmies (talk) 22:06, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dorothy Malone (writer) (2nd nomination)

Hi Daniel - as there was little participation in this AFD, do you consider it a soft delete? If so, I request that the article be restored and the discussion reopened. There are reviews of her work in the NY Times and Kirkus, so she probably satisfies WP:NAUTHOR. pburka (talk) 16:06, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
