Hi Slatersteven, and thank you for starting that deletion discussion.
I agree that in the state it was in last time I edited the article before you started the discussion, it was certainly focused on its appearance in the Duran Duran music video. This is what interested me about that yacht.
I would argue that the substance of the article should focus on its history and its recent renovation. The keep !voters in the deletion discussion (and I) have not addressed this in the article itself.
I think there may well be a "independent reliable sources" problem here: while there may extensive mentions on the renovated yacht in commercial yachting websites, it would be in their interests to promote it.
I also think there should be a mention of the deletion discussion in the relevant WikiProject.

One way to establish notability is to show it was notable (notable, not that it existed) before the pop video.10:47, 19 December 2018 (UTC)Slatersteven (talk)

Pseudoscience and fringe science discretionary sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in pseudoscience and fringe science. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Mediation

Would you be willing to try mediation with Bloodofox? You both seem to be good faith editors who merely have a disagreement. Perhaps a better framework for discussion could help you two get on the same page, and then convince the others to all start rowing in the same direction on List of cryptids.

Sure.Slatersteven (talk) 09:47, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
I’ll ask him next. Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia Jehochman Talk 10:49, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
OK, I suppose the next step is arbcom if he continues to make ad honomies.Slatersteven (talk) 12:13, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
If there is stonewalling by any parties to frustrate consensus against policy, or battlefield behavior, maybe arbcom. An alternative is to file a report at arbitration enforcement. There are already general sanctions available under the old Pseudoscience case. But first let’s see if we can get people to work together. Jehochman Talk 13:57, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
As I said "IF" he continues.Slatersteven (talk) 19:24, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
I think he was frustrated by encountering a group of well intentioned but policy unsavvy editors. I will do what I can to help him find productive outlets for his energy. Jehochman Talk 00:22, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
OK.08:31, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

I deleted the content, because if you check the oldest edit/archive (click older 50, dating back to 2014) of the article United Mobile, It contained information about the Pakistani company with the same name, so how can the original content be falsely accused of being hijacked content, and that the information that is contained in the article right now doesn't contains enough information about the company to even be consider a Wikipedia article, and that the falsely accused hijacked content is linked with many wiki articles (eg. Voice Mobile). Please kindly revert this article to the original content. Pakieditor - talk 08:04, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

No it did not, the article was created on 2 June 2008‎. The page was hijacked to be about the Pakistani company at 16:08, 23 February 2012 by user Saudahmed97.Slatersteven (talk) 19:47, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Racism in the UK Conservative Party, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tommy Robinson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
