The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add |
The article List of transgender clinics has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No sign that the set of all transgender clinics is notable, though individual ones may be.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

- Thank you. I have responded there, adding some examples of RS's.— James Cantor (talk) 14:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- But are there only 4 in the world? a list article normal implies either that, or that there are four , all of which hacve articles for being individually notable. I suggest it would make immensely more sense as Transgender clinic, and I've moved it accordingly. It would still need great expansion. (If you do mean to establish separate articles on these, do it first, and then make the list) DGG ( talk ) 02:07, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry

Request reason:
Finally, even if I were sockpuppeting, GeneralNotability remains quite over the top in their reaction. ArbCom topic banned (and re-topic banned AJ[3], all while declining to put such restrictions on me (except the interaction ban). Yet, when Jokestress outright violated that topic ban, she received a warning, and when she violated it again, she received a 1-wk block.[4] GeneralNotability's indef out of nowhere is extreme by any standard. It is difficult to take this as a good faith report and not, for example, an “private tip” coming from AJ herself with a reason GeneralNotability being selected to receive it (regardless of whether GN might even know that reason). Fresh eyes would be appreciated.

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.
