  • Anyone hungry for a fritter roll? I discovered this on Prod patrol. The nominator was not receptive to my attempts to fix up the article. I found evidence in the NY Times and BBC about Fritter roll variations. However the Nominator did not allow the article to be changed. See if you can edit this one successfully, without nominator interference and perhaps we can save the beloved Fritter roll. I stopped trying when it got close to being an edit war. Lightburst (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
I would counsel anyone willing to take up the challenge to familiarise themself fully with the debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fritter roll to get a full perspective on this editor's campaign to supplement the article with patently irrelevant material. Both of the sources mentioned above refer to fritters but neither to "fritter rolls", bread rolls or indeed the word "roll" at all. By all means if you can find genuine sources related to the article, knock yourself out. Mutt Lunker (talk) 19:56, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
Well at least you all know now that I was not using hyperbole to describe the nominator's attitude. I am not even that interested in Fritter roll's however I am flummoxed by the nominator's ownership of the subject. Knock yourselves out or sit it out. But Fritter rolls are doomed without massive help. Lightburst (talk) 20:08, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
"Fritter roll" references in your sources? Mutt Lunker (talk) 20:28, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
This debate should be in the AFD not here. If there are any cooking shows or cooking books in Scotland that someone has access to, please see if this is a common thing. Or do restaurants list their menus online somewhere? Dream Focus 22:49, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
Apparently the title of this article should be "Roll and fritter". RS will likely not be found, however my search term of "Glasgow Roll and fritter" shows how widespread this food is in Glasgow, Scotland. I added these non- RS sources to the AfD perhaps someone can find actual RS with different search terms. Lightburst (talk) 17:24, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

JK! Studios

NO CONSENSUS
JK! Studios – No consensus. In this DRV, opinions are about 2:1 in favor of having another administrator re-close the discussion because of concerns that the closer was involved in the AfD discussion. This is a clear majority, but short of the required rough consensus to overturn the closure. In such cases, the DRV closer can, at their discretion, relist the AfD. I decline to do so because the AfD was already relisted twice, which is the normal maximum, and had plenty of input. The closure is therefore maintained by default. User:Sandstein

  • Delete Per the closer: "The result was delete. For a detailed explanation of the assessment of keep !votes, please read User talk:Lourdes#JK! Studioss. Post relisting, the only Keep !vote editor claims they heard the group on a show; and therefore the same should be kept. Again, nothing based on policy or notability guidelines.

User:7&6=thirteen, Re: this edit (which is right) would it make sense to add at the bottom of the AfD below the last !vote so closing admins know any Keep's above that point were organic and not alerted via ARS. Not to say closers are ignoring ARS !votes but it wouldn't hurt to distinguish a break between pre and post ARS !votes in the AfD. -- GreenC 16:29, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

  • The nominator claims that the subject of the article wants the article deleted. However, subject is a public figure of interest and notoriety through public appearances, and in magazines, and on the BBC and through. An prolific author of books and magazine articles about autism. As an author subject has won awards for subject's books. The page has existed for four years and passed two AfDs. I believe that a notable public person does not have a right to delete a WP article, even if they are the subject. I will see what the community says about this.

  • Controversial subject. I managed to locate several sources and put them in the article. The original "Diary of an Unborn Child" was read on the floor of the New York State Senate by Republican Senate Majority Leader Earl W Brydges on April 10, 1970. The subject has been in the public domain since 1970, and has been used over and over by both sides of this controversial issue ...and even made into a disturbing or campy song.

  • The result was a no consensus Keep Lightburst (talk) 13:28, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
Per the closer: "The result was no consensus. OK, having lots of readers is not a reason to keep an article under notability guidelines. The question of whether GNG is met isn't so clear, as most of the sources are stated to be plot summaries rather than detailed analysis and there is the - somewhat vague - concern about non-independent sources raised. A merger was also discussed, but there does not appear to be a clear consensus either pro ("usual practice for minor characters") or con ("target is too long"). My sense is that while the keep arguments probably out-weigh the delete ones owing to several uncontested sources, the merge/redirect or no case would need a dedicated discussion." 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:27, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Nationalist topics like this tend to be difficult but neutral parties may help in providing an independent view. The ARS has been invoked in discussion already so it belongs on the list. Mind how you go... Andrew D. (talk) 13:23, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Given the above explicit reference to me, it's difficult not to take the above "neutral parties" as a reference to my "deletionists telling editors who specialize in this topic area what they can and can't do with their own articles". It's worth noting that in the past, in cases like this one, such "neutral parties" have generally created more heat than light. I can definitely see the above ARS posting resulting in an endgame wherein 4-5 editors with a focus on Chinese and Central Asian topics all say either "delete" or "redirect" with nuanced reasoning related to the article in question and our deletion policy, 2-3 deletionists say "keep" with off-topic notability arguments, and a closer who just counts the votes and says "no consensus". Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 02:26, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
This is not an attempt to improve an article, it is blatant canvassing. Why would you come to ARS (a project specifically focused on keeping/improving articles) to seek "neutral" opinions? Please withdraw the nomination or explain how the article can be improved to satisfy the concerns of the deletion nominator, as stated in the instructions. –dlthewave ☎ 04:25, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
I should point out that while editing (or rather, a complete overhaul of the article) could address the concerns of the AFD, what is really needed for that is topic specialists who know what they are doing, and historically this project's deletionist members have tended to favour "improving" articles such as the one linked above and Mottainai and Mottainai Bāsan in the opposite direction to anyone who had !voted "delete" or similar, often by attempting to keep all the articles' present content intact regardless of what their sources say. The random, off-topic sinophobic jab Andrew made here makes it difficult not to assume that is his intention here as well. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 04:42, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

I would be the first to admit that the article can use some work. Two years ago, I did a lot of the research that populated the "proposed" list. Too many hours digging through county permit filings.

Hello, I believe this article was deleted with neither a deletion +tag being posted nor any discussion. The Olde Boston Bulldogge definitely existed and exists.1234567etcetera So, how do we repeal this incorrect decision made by "one" administrator? Thank you Aquataste (talk) 09:13, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

  • @Aquataste: The deletion log says "00:41, 4 March 2019 Fastily talk contribs deleted page Olde Boston Bulldogge (Expired PROD, concern was: None of the sources cited come close to being reliable.)". A PROD is supposed to be easily reversible at WP:REFUND. You're still going to have trouble though as this appears to be a variant of the Boston Terrier and seems more of a commercial brand than a traditional breed. Commercial breeders and growers are constantly making proprietary hybrids and varieties and only the exceptional ones are going to survive here. The name of this breed is pretentious per ye olde and so its chances don't seem good. Andrew D. (talk) 09:43, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
  • @Andrew Davidson: Thank you for your timely response. The Olde Boston Bulldogge was the progenitor to the Boston Terrier, without it no Boston Terrier would exist. You see there were many citations at the article before deletion. I really do not understand why it was deleted. Aquataste (talk) 10:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
If that is true,, if could be incorporated into the Boston Terrier page, and documented with a redirect. You seem to be suggesting it is a progenitor and an extinct breed. OTOH, we do have extinct dog breed articles. See List of extinct dog breeds. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:04, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
  • The reinstatement request has been posted here. Aquataste (talk) 11:27, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Is there a +tag we can add to the articles talk page that the deletion was rescinded, so future admins know not to do that?Aquataste (talk) 15:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
  • @Aquataste: You're welcome. The {{old prod}} template should be added to the talk page in such cases.

This core Wikipedia policy is wonderfully paradoxical and self-referential and so it is not surprising that it should get attention outside. Perhaps it's a principle that has been tried elsewhere? Where I live, some workmen recently painted large numbers on the road to remind drivers of the new 20 mph speed limit. But about 90% of drivers break a 20 mph speed limit and so the issue of compliance with rules is commonplace. As some would like to make rules about what we can say here, the topic is quite timely... Andrew D. (talk) 09:19, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

  • It's certainly possible to find more external sources about this. For example, in the New York Review of Books, writer Nicholson Baker covered this as one of The Charms of Wikipedia, explaining that this was "the first Wikipedian rule". Also, there is lots of anarchist theory which may cover this as a general principle under some other heading. Anyway, the nomination invokes the rule WP:GNG but that's just a guideline which explicitly cites the policy itself: " and occasional exceptions may apply"
  • The concept has legal and equitable precursors. These should be the subject of further research In any event, an WP:AFD of this particular article is a case of wrong place, wrong time. Fundamentally, it is misguided attempt to blind editors to alternative ways and views of editing, in the name of encyclopaedic purity. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Redirect Per the closer: "The result was redirect to No. 550 Squadron RAF. This was a complex AfD with many sincere and well argued comments. There is no doubt that this is a nicely written page, that certainly contains much material of interest, and I have considered WP:NOTPAPER. However, we work within the notability guidelines, specifically WP:SOLDIER and more generally WP:GNG. In this regard, I find the 'delete' arguments clearly more policy based, and hence stronger, than the 'keep' arguments.

Long time Massachusetts judge. Since he is locally elected, presumably he needs to meet WP:GNG. hard to believe he did nothing worth writing about in his career, but I don't know. Because he died in 1974, coverage on internet is sparse. Needs someone with ability to look at old newspapers to salvage.

Philosophy tends to be difficult but this topic looks to be thought-provoking. What is the nature of the world's information that we are assembling here?

Keep Per the closer: "The result was keep. While there seems to be some disagreement about whether the current sourcing of the article is adequate (per SportingFlyer), it seems like the sourcing presented by Andrew Davidson has convinced most editors. I note Rusf10's comment but it doesn't seem to have caught on. Thus this is a keep." 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:29, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Keep Per the closer:"The result was keep." 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:16, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
Redirect Per the closer: "The result was redirect to List of tallest buildings in Jersey City. Irrespective of the (de)merits of the deletion nomination, it seems like the consensus leans towards there not being enough sourcing to justify a separate article around the topic - for some sources it's not clear from the discussion whether they'd satisfy WP:SIGCOV - and the keep arguments are mostly concerned with procedural issues or are not based on guideline/policy." 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:35, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Just going to note that WP:SOLDIER explicitly does not make someone notable for having commanded a squadron; he would have had to command a force at least two levels above that, and since Lightburst apparently had to check the Wikipedia article on his award ("a third-level military decoration awarded to officers" is directly lifted from the opening sentence of Distinguished Flying Cross (United Kingdom)), I would question whether it is that well-known.

As expected, the above accusation is completely bogus. The AFD nominator made a request for a grammatical fix; that appears to be the extent of the "disruption".

We have lots of articles lined up for 2021 and there's even a parallel draft for this one. It's amusing to look at the history of these futile discussions which are becoming an annual ritual. Andrew D. (talk) 11:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

...

What’s actually amusing is that all but one of the AFD’s listed here actually resulted in the nominated articles being deleted, while the one that didn’t was an april fool’s joke. Nothing futile about them and no precedents at all to keep the currently nominated article.Tvx1 22:42, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, the most amusing thing is actually looking at the history of Andrew using this page as basically his personal playground for engaging in disruptive historical revisionism. If this were really about combating systemic bias or rescuing good articles, that would be fine, but there's no excuse for this kind of behaviour. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 23:46, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Notice a pattern: 1. '20xx Formula One World Championship' created prior to the championship. 2. It is nominated and often deleted. 3. It is recreated and notable after the championship. This is futile churn, and a waste of everyone's time and efforts. Any championship article will be notable. But I guess the too-sooners can't help themselves and closers go by the book. Should have more flexibility in cases like this. -- GreenC 14:33, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

@Andrew Davidson: I started an essay WP:AFDCHURN. It probably won't get much attention but the more often "WP:AFDCHURN" is used the concept will be brought into broader consciousness and possibly added to a guideline in the future.

@Lightburst: Please retract and apologize for the above remark. 3 delete !votes versus 4/5 keep !votes (I don't know when EMG's was retracted), disregarding the quality of the arguments (AGF says we should, lacking evidence to the contrary -- the nom is an admin, and the only editors who started actively editing in 2019, and therefore the only ones who could reasonably be assumed inexperienced, are THEFlint Shrubwood, Skirts89, and you), is not "consensus" to keep by any stretch of the imagination, and now that one of the keep !votes has been retracted and the only !vote since the relisting has been to delete, it's now dead even.
