:You stated "edit to add: To the relevant Cup article if that is kept or) to Leinster Senior Cup (association football)" - I wasn't going around searching for this other AFD and as I have never heard of the title in my life I simply assumed that was your redirect target, If no one (inc yourself) can be bothered to actually provide a redirect target then that's really not my problem - I don't go around search article after article trying to find a redirect target, Anyway as you've provided it here I'll change it, Thanks. –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color: blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color: orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color: navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 01:07, 8 November 2016 (UTC) |

Please don't get involved with my personal affairs
Hi Davey, just a little polite notice, unless you know the full context of what has happened, can I ask you not to get involved. Thanks ;) Nordic Nightfury 15:01, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- Nordic Nightfury - There is no context here ... Fact of the matter is you relisted AFDs, people disagreed and asked you to kindly revert ... and yet instead of reverting you told them to do it themselves and or removed the discussion entirely ....... That's not helpful at all and this being a collaborative project you should've just relisted it which would've saved you all this shit,
- My advice was spot on and it's a shame you didn't heed it and let everything drop. –Davey2010Talk 15:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
On Closing AfD
As I understand you work on neutrality of discussions. Sometimes it appears to me Lengthy discussions or unnecessary commenting makes AfD large and even boring to read. So people might just want to Close as "No consensus" without even going through the depth of discussions presented by contributors for Delete. Or there are Counting mechanism also works, where in such Cases Keep votes comes as Passes GNC or some guidelines without counter the Delete argument or presenting substantial point of view. It does not really count as Vote. Even noted in Wikipedia as well. But I have hardly seen a case where article is deleted where vote count is lesser. so Keep numbers of Vote or Length of boring article discussions wins as "Keep" or "close by No consensus". Any suggestions on how we can improve this matter? Light2021 (talk) 12:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Sorry does this refer to AN AFD I've closed?, All of my closures are based on the arguments, Thanks. –Davey2010Talk 12:24, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Clarification
Just to be clear, I wasn't accusing you of falling into systemic bias, just explaining what I was doing looking at an AfD on a topic I know little about. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 13:19, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Andreas Philopater - Ah right sorry, I've been accused of it more than once so kinda assumed the case here sorry, Anyway thanks for your message and again thanks for managing to find some sources - much appreciated :), Happy editing .–Davey2010Talk 13:41, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Someone opened an AfD right after you closed it. Any chance to get involved here? I've not encountered something where an editor keeps trying AfD until his/her position is won. Thank you. Not nice. Veggies 2 (talk) 21:10, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Veggies 2 - Ah thanks for notifying me, I've speedy closed the nomination as it's obviously disruptive to just renominate and renominate, Thanks for letting me know :), Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 21:25, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- First thing First I have nominated that once not as I am being accused of. And given a warning for being blocked by Davey on my talk page. that being right after I question the methodology used for "closing an AfD" by Davey. Are you angry ? Light2021 (talk) 21:39, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- I apologize because I did assume you were the 2nd nom however my point still stands - You don't renominate after it's been closed, Your post above didn't make the blindest bit of sense and I asked you did it refer to an AFD, I close alot each day so therefore I can't recall every single name in an AFD. –Davey2010Talk 21:44, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

More Radio Group
Hi! You just mass-reverted my redirections of various defunct station names to point at the articles for their new names. In doing so, you created over half a dozen double redirects.
I'm sure this was an accident, and you'll be correcting the error shortly. But if not, I'd be grateful for a discussion here about how you're using rollback on good-faith, useful edits and treating me like a common vandal, coz that's not good, obviously! :-) ◦ Trey Maturin 17:58, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Trey Maturin, I apologize for using rollback - I was meant to have used AGF Twinkle but ended up somehow hovering over the wrong ones (I use Linkclump because I'm a lazy shit!), Anyway I hadn't realized everything would be double-redirected but anyway I'll revert myself :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:08, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- No worries! :-) We've all done it at some point! ◦ Trey Maturin 18:11, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- True we all make mistakes, Anyway happy editing :), –Davey2010Talk 18:13, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Reduction of content
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you purposefully and blatantly harass a fellow Wikipedian. Mvpo666 (talk) 18:48, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
- Yes because me reverting you on one article now constitutes harassment, How stupid of me, As I've told you you either get consensus for your changes or they'll be reverted. –Davey2010Talk 18:50, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
- My mistake, I accidentally copied the wrong template (Surprisingly I didn't even notice it when I gave the heading the relevant title)... It was meant to be this one:
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.- Anyway, I've now taken this issue back to the talk page. Mvpo666 (talk) 19:05, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
- Install Twinkle - it'll solve all your worries :), Anyway I';ve self reverted. –Davey2010Talk 19:15, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

IsAnybodyDown? closure
Davey: I see that you closed the AFD for IsAnybodyDown? as a speedy keep. I'm not saying that wasn't the right result, but you stated that it was because the user who called the AFD was "blocked indef". Checking the block log for AManInWikipedia (talk · contribs), I only find a 31 hour block, which is def rather than indef. If the length of blockage was key to your action, please review it (or let me know how I'm misunderstanding things, I don't deal much with people's block histories.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:01, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi NatGertler, Thank you so much for spotting that, I somehow misread their block length, As I was incorrect I've obviously self reverted, It's a good job someone on here's awake lol, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 00:07, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
DealDash
Please revert your speedy close on dealdash. A good deal of what you have to say about the problem with the nominator is correct, but this close was not a good idea. Looking at your rationale, in my opinion at least, any violation of WP: NOT is a good reason for deletion, including NOT ADVERTISING. Some people think all promotional articles an be fixed, but this is disputed and is therefore not a basis for a speedy. DGG ( talk ) 01:03, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- DGG - You're absolutely correct anything promotional can be taken to AFD however this editor hasn't followed BEFORE and plus they've caused a hell of a lot of disruption at AFD, Had you not been an admin I would've redirected you to DRV but seeing as you are an admin I don't really have a choice but to revert do I ? .... I disagree with it entirely but that's life I suppose, Anyway thanks for kindly coming here first - Always appreciated, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Done - reopened, Thanks again and happy editing. –Davey2010Talk 01:58, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- You'll notice I did not ask for the close on Actiflo to be reverted, because the company is large enough that the article is probably worth fixing. Otherwise I would have. I've always tried to work here by avoid direct confrontation and being a little selective about what I fight for. DGG ( talk ) 02:57, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- In all fairness I think the dealsdash article is large enough and is wort fixing but anyway all's been reopened so no harm done :), Happy editing. –Davey2010Talk 03:31, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

The wheels on the bus go round and round
The Wheels on the Bus go round and round. Wow, I thought you liked bus articles. Per this, can we call you "Deletion Davey" now? Hope all's well for you across the pond in the UK. Speaking of the UK, why do you guys spell everything incorrectly? For example, it's "colored", not "coloured", "favor", not "favour", etc., eh? Right? What's up with all of those unnecessary "u"s? See also WP:AVOID "U". Ha ha, just kidding. Just making conversation for the fun of it. I look forward to your likely sarcastic response. Cheers, North America1000 13:41, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Haha I've been asked about this before - I like buses but not bus routes, Ironically back in 2013 I was frequently updating everything at List of bus routes in Kent until it was deleted .... and I was the nominator
, - Shut up why don't you add the bloody u's ? - Get with the times man , .... I've just written a full rant and now I've had to delete it , I've often wondered what language was actually correct to begin with like before all of this British English/American English came about,
- Haha I've been called worse but I kinda like "Deletion Dave" .. It's got a ring to it lol,
- Yeah It's all good here thanks, Hope all is well across the pacific ocean lol, –Davey2010Talk 14:10, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- In addition to "Deletion Dave", how about "Drifting Dave"? Right? Ha! North America1000 14:25, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Haha yeah sounds pretty darn cool lol –Davey2010Talk 14:30, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- I found http://gifmaker.me online to make the animated gif. Well, that's a few minutes of life I'll never get back again. North America1000 14:34, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oh sorry I hadn't realized you made it - That's an epic unicorn :), –Davey2010Talk 14:41, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- I didn't create the original. I copied the image from File:URI Unicórnio Rosa Invisivel.jpg and worked it into an ani gif from there. But, yeah, I did make the ani gif. It's so much easier to copy other people's work and then just modify it a bit. Uh, you're welcome. North America1000 14:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- True true haha, Anyway thanks for popping by, Happy editing. –Davey2010Talk 15:08, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry to spam your page so harshly. I think the original language was grunts and whistles (see Smithsonian article). North America1000 15:54, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Naaa you aint spamming it - You're brightening it up lol , It probably was and as the years went on words may of evolved .... I'm thinking way too much into this lol. –Davey2010Talk 16:06, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

As a side note, did you mean to remove routes 2 & 3 from that AfD too? You seem to have done! (Don't want to fix it myself in case that was your intention) Jeni (talk) 16:26, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jeni, 2&3 is the title of the AFD so that shouldn't of been included, Hopefully I've fixed everything - I've gone through them all again and only 11 was the error, Thanks again for your help! :), –Davey2010Talk 16:29, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:05, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
