Proposed deletion of Fortress Re

The article Fortress Re has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject lacks notability WP:ONEEVENT

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Cheers. I pimped the article a bit. fish&karate 10:53, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback tool

An odd thing happened. I created a talk page topic, this one, [1] and the entire thing vanished with no apparent history. I looked here [2], made a copy, put it back. There was No -1000 kb odd deletion record to be found. An odd edit. I looked in his block log and found you. [3] Was this a roll back tool? If so how?

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Fish and karate. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

I believe you should re-examine your close of this AFD. Most of the keep !votes were pro forma, either "per X" or similarly cursory. Ofthe two others, one had no grounding in notability policy or guidelines; the other made the often-rejected claim that a contested/technical pass of the PORNBIO SNG overrode the all but uncontested failure to satisfy GNG standards. The nominator and most of the delete !voters stressed the failure to meet GNG standards, an argument never substantively addressed by the article's proponents. Consensus and practice therefore call for deletion of the article, even though the headcount may have been close. See Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2016 September 8#Karla Lane for a very recent discussion on this point, as well as Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 December 26#Jayden James, as well as such AFDs as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kristina Rose, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keira Nicole, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicole Aniston (2nd nomination). The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 18:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree. You don't have to be right every time, sir. fish&karate 15:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
