Rverting the redirect to founder

[edit]

Soman please explain why you have reverted me here. This article clearly fails wP:GNG and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. If there is lack of response with refs, then this will be nominated to AfD. --DBigXray 17:17, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no mechanical law of Wikipedia that forces us to do a unilateral merge without prior discussion. And considering the quantity of prods, unilateral mergers, notability tags that you've placed on TN political parties over the past days, you'd also have to understand that my capacity to respond is not as quick as your ability to place tags. Rather than mass tagging articles for the sake of deletion, I'd ask that you consider looking at helping expanding the material to allow Wikipedia to grow qualitatively. --Soman (talk) 17:23, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes there is. Please familiarize yourself with WP:Merging. Where it clearly states that. Let me quote, "Any editor can perform a merger. No permission or discussion is needed if you think the merge is uncontroversial; just do it (but it might get reverted). Otherwise, the merge should be first proposed and discussed, as detailed below.
So Unless you (Soman) have a justifiable reason to keep this as an independent article, the revert can be considered as disruptive. These articles are political WP:SPAM for WP:PROMO purposes and should not have been created in the first place. please see WP:MERCY --DBigXray 17:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but in regards to some previous discussions: Don't claim that there is WP:SPAM or WP:PROMO, unless you can back up the claim. What would have been my rationale in promoting this particular party? And the text you've copy-pasted above 'No permission or discussion is needed if you think the merge is uncontroversial', I've clearly stated in a number of cases that I don't agree with unilateral mergers with founders of political parties, so you can't claim that the merge would be uncontroversial. --Soman (talk) 18:51, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Soman, Please note the line says No permission or discussion is needed if you think the merge is uncontroversial, It was me who "thought" that this was uncontroversial. So there is nothing wrong in my unilateral merging. Your revert is also not wrong as long as you can back up your claim with RS to prove individual notability. your revert will only be inappropriate if you are unable to provide a convincing reason with RS. So please focus this discussion on the RS for notability. DBigXray 19:00, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
