What again?

I'm a long term user (first edit 2006) and have been an admin on or off since 2017. That makes me a bit stuck in my ways but I have the benefit of experience and working through many of the changes that have left us where we are. I am getting grumpy. Sorry but all the drama and grief has washed away a lot of my younger idealism...

A BLP is a serious matter and needs to be properly sourced.

I mostly work on deletion discussions. I am willing to userfy deleted articles for improvement as long as there is a reasonable likelihood that they can be saved. If you are challenging a deletion, do you have three good sources? Also, don’t waste your time asking me to review a close or you are going to DRV because I’m not going to review a close with a sword hanging over my head. Just raise the DRV or ask someone else.

Please don't leave talkback templates as I always watchlist pages when I edit and I'm perfectly capable of looking for a reply myself.

please stay in the top three tiers

Technical Itch

Please see my comments on the talk page for the ludicrous decision to delete tech itch's article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.182.44 (talk) 16:58, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

2012 Nehru Cup

Mate the AfD said that if information comes out (date, format) then the tournament is notable. Only 1 user said when the tournament starts it is notable but that was quickly looked at badly and the regular users of Wikipedia:WikiProject Football came in and said when information is out. Now there is information out from the Federation hosting it. There are 2 teams out of 5 announced. There is cash money announced and there are dates announced. This page is notable. If you can, please undo the redirect. --RedBullNewYork2012 (talk) 14:01, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

• Too soon. If you don't like it, go ask the closing admin or raise a DRV. Spartaz ^Humbug! 17:19, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank You

Hello! I understand that I messed up pretty bad on all those AfD discussions. Thank you for for informing me about my mistakes and helping me fix them.   REPLY   TOW  talk  04:27, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Culmicole

Hey Spartaz :). Just a request; I saw your PROD of Culmicole, and was wondering if you could use more transparent deletion rationales in future? "dicdef" doesn't really mean anything to people not already familiar with it. Even linking would help. Thanks! Ironholds (talk) 10:21, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

• Done. Spartaz ^Humbug! 10:27, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

New Zealand cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2012–13

Spartaz, I don't think this page should be removed since this tournament is going to take place for sure, its just not officially announced. I do understand that this page is early, but i don't think it should be deleted, because im pretty sure that someone will make a page for this if you delete it. so, why don't we just redirect this to International cricket in 2012–13 instead of deleting it. Thank You.--Killswitch 125 16:09, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

• I'm happy with a redirect, the article will be required eventually. Spartaz ^Humbug! 20:13, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Diana Vickers Album AfD

Hi Spartaz, you recently closed the Diana Vickers' Untitled Second Album AfD as a redirect to Diana Vickers. However, the author had changed the name of the article twice during the course of the AfD. Can you also redirect Diana Vickers' second album? Thanks. Sionk (talk) 10:16, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

merge proposition for Lamia (D&D)

Hello, as you took part in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lamia (Dungeons & Dragons) (2nd nomination), which closed on "no consensus", I'm bringing to your attention a discussion on whether to merge or not that has opened on the article talk page.Folken de Fanel (talk) 10:50, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
