Hi Bibliomaniac15,
Hope all is well on your end? You soft deleted the Apex and Bionic (AB) article due to minimal participation. However, the article is still in mainspace. Did someone request undeletion?  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 12:00, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Yule, ND

Three V Crossing (low-water crossing) included some information on Yule, ND and the ranch that was once also called Yule. Do you mind if I make an article about the ranch/defunct community? (During the discussion, User:dlthewave stated "This article s about the river crossing; if the ranch was a notable community at one time, then a separate article should be written about it.")--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 21:17, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Cfd

Thanks for your contributions at CFD!

As for the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_April_5#Category:Indian_women_biographers, I would have let it run longer as new points were being made. Anyway, no harm done.

It's good to have more people on the team. The CFD backlog is shorter than I can remember for a long time. Let's hope we can keep it that way! – Fayenatic London 10:02, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Howdy

It's a pleasure to see you around again. Not sure what circumstances have allowed for your return – hopefully the natural order of life and not an unfortunate byproduct of any public health crises – but the project can only benefit as a result. See you out there! – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:11, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Drainage basins CfD

Hi, yesterday you closed this CfD as keep. That's OK for 10 of the 11 listed categories, but IMO the consensus was that the first one, Category:Dnieper River system, should be moved to Dnieper basin, since its main article is at Dnieper and most other drainage basin categories are at "Foo basin", not at "Foo system". Could you correct this, or should I list this category again at CfD or WP:CFDS? Markussep ^Talk 07:35, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! Markussep ^Talk 18:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Railway stations by year of opening

RE CFD on April 13; on April 25 you approved the renaming of categories for Canada, Russia and the United States e.g to Category:Railway stations in Canada by year of opening; but the category for China which I had added to the proposal i.e. Category:Railway stations in China by opening year to Category:Railway stations in China by year of opening was not included. Could you arrange for this to be carried out if possible. Hugo999 (talk) 10:22, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Category:Pejorative terms for European people has been nominated for renaming

Weird close

Hello!

You closed Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 May 7#Category:Wikipedia images in SVG format as kept, however the discussion was never if the category be deleted or kept, but rather renamed. How did you reason when closing the Cfd as kept?Jonteemil (talk) 10:50, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Your supervote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Breast Tax is far from making any sense. The delete !votes were absolutely clear with establishing that there is a clear lack of WP:HISTRS which significantly covered the subject. There was a lack of even recent media sources covering the subject significantly without mainly relying on Nangeli and Channar revolt. The "Keep" voters mainly rely on the lousy argument described at WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES.

Now since WP:POVFORKs are strongly discouraged, where you saw any consensus for "Keep"? Wareon (talk) 04:21, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Request to put wikipedia page on permanent protection.

Hi, We have been seeing an increased number of vandalism on Devendra Fadnavis Wikipedia page. You had placed the page on semi protection on the 14th of May, for which we are really grateful. During the protection period the act of vandalism ceased but as soon as the protection period was over (18th May) the vandalism restarted. You may go through the edit history to merit the given accusation.

We would be obliged if the page was placed on permanent protection to ensure that these acts of vandalism cease forever and only those who have been registered, verified, and have a history of good edits on Wikipedia, make suitable changes to the aforementioned page.FSCOPC (talk) 14:11, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Television program(me)s CFD

Hi Bibliomaniac15

Thanks for closing WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 May 6#Television_program(me)s. It had been open too long.

I know that weighing the consensus will be a big job, but I wondered if you and @Fayenatic london had any idea how long that might take? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:05, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@BrownHairedGirl: I'm hoping to put it out by the end of the week, but I'm waiting for Fayenatic to respond to a couple things. They've been busy IRL so there's been a delay. Thanks for following up! bibliomaniac15 18:08, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

No rush, but good to know it is in hand. I just wanted to check that it was still on the radar. And thanks to both of you for taking on a job which won't be easy. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:00, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
