AfD

Per your close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Shipping Day, I feel that the discussion would benefit from further discussion via relisting. So, requesting restoration of the article and an AfD relist. Let me know what you think about this notion. Also, your closure as per WP:WAX seems a bit dismissive, and it's an essay page.

John Hoffmire

Dear Sandstein.

I have uploaded for review another biography of Dr. John Hoffmire which you deleted few weeks ago. This new version is now updated and in contrast with the other, this one uses verifiable third party sources, hope you like it!

Thank you and best wishes. Mario5554 (talk) 09:36, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

John Hoffmire is still a red link. Sandstein 11:17, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Harvey Weinstein

Hi there, you're right, removing a reference to his activism from the lede is better overall. It just said "activist" which I thought was too imprecise. If I'd checked, I would have seen that that description itself was a recent and untested edit. Woshiwaiguoren (talk) 03:58, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

About your reversion of my edit on Code Name Verity

I may be wrong, but I think that having a list of characters is very much relevant to the book and its article. I have seen a characters section on Wikipedia pages for other books, plays, and shows and cannot see why it should not be included for this article.2601:2C1:C280:3EE0:8073:A8FF:655F:7B4A (talk) 04:48, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. These sections are contrary to our policy. Please read WP:WAF, which summarizes "Wikipedia articles should describe fiction and fictional elements from the perspective of the real world, not from the perspective of the fiction itself." This means that we have a problem when plot content (plot summaries or character lists) are longer than the rest of the article. Sandstein 09:40, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AfD

You closed the AfD for Realist Left, but didn't delete the article. Natureium (talk) 19:36, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request to review deletion of the article at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_boxing

Hello, Please review deletion of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_boxing.

The topic was called a hoax and claimed to include insufficient or sub-par references. The topic is real and describes an actual discipline that is practiced by many individuals, including myself. As far as references, I'm not sure what is expected from an article about a kung fu style. I did include references to 2 books, 1 of them published by University of Hawaii Press. It is also noteworthy that many other articles of this sort exist for other kung fu styles, and I believe this article to be of higher quality than many of its counterparts.

Thank you for your times and please advise.
