Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton

Howdy Micky. Why'd ya wanna keep that article, when we've already got Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton? -- GoodDay (talk) 15:42, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can't have an Afd on one of two content splits, the Afd is clearly about the topic. It's moot now anyway. MickMacNee (talk) 15:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okie Dokie. GoodDay (talk) 15:56, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a hair puller. Let's list all the commonwealth realms. GoodDay (talk) 02:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've no problem with that. Just not in the first line. MickMacNee (talk) 02:26, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it would make the article top-loaded. GoodDay (talk) 02:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

Oh sure, pick on the BISE again. GoodDay (talk) 15:58, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Scottish football referee strike

On 30 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Scottish football referee strike, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that due to the Scottish football referee strike, foreign officials from Israel, Luxembourg and Malta were used as replacements? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

The first AfD nomination of Emirates Flight 407

Hi Mick. I don't know if you noticed this or not, but I actually withdrew my own nomination of that article, as I saw mixed opinions as to whether the article should be kept or deleted. The ones that opposed referred to the essay WP:AIRCRASH. However, I don't think you should judge closures as "inappropriate". Hey Mid (contribs) 16:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot withdraw your own nomination if valid keeps and deletes were registered. Even if someone refers to an essay, it is still a valid vote in that regard. This is not a case of me judging it, this is standard Afd procedure, as explained in WP:NAC. Even though you 'withdrew' it, you have effectively called the consensus on the Afd debate you yourself started. That's wrong whichever way you look at it. MickMacNee (talk) 16:17, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it would've probably been different if I had withdrawn my nomination if there hadn't been any votes at all, but I understand your explanation. Hey Mid (contribs) 16:21, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, this was something that we seemed to have missed. Much appreciated! Ng.j (talk) 23:47, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers. I was quite amazed when I found it was a red link. MickMacNee (talk) 00:36, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SPI

Hello, Mick! I'm sure we might remember each other from some encounters in the "BISE" affair: but I need to let you know that I brought your name up in an issue you have previously been involved with[1]. I'd appreciate any comments you could give there if you're interested, as well. Cheers :> Doc talk 11:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question

The deletion review for FedEx Express Flight 647 was closed before I got to finish asking you my question: Why didn't you bring this up with Cirt (talk · contribs) before taking it to deletion review and questioning his judgment? Would you have rather it be closed as No Consensus, because either way, it was not getting deleted. I still don't fully get why you brought it to DRV either.

Proposed deletion of 2010 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award

The article 2010 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:RECENTISM. Nominees can have information covered in their own articles if particularly relevent. Currently this is just a list of nominees. The actual relevant information (first, second and third places will be announced) will go in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award list.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
