The result was Withdrawn by nominator, merge was editorial decision and subject to usual editorial processes. This was originally closed as "The result was Redirect to Wikipedian in Residence: without objection from the page creator and deletion nominator. Don't see a need use AFD here if we're all agreed that a redirect is sufficient. --MZMcBride (talk) 8:25 pm, 12 May 2013, last Sunday (1 day ago) (UTC+1)" by the nominator as an WP:NAC. This was then listed at DRV at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2013_May_13. Clearly it was incorrect to close this as a redirect as there is no consensus for that but its also perfectly clear that the nominator meant to withdraw the AFD and that the merge was an editorial decision without the force of an AFD discussion behind it. That does seem the right outcome so I'm reclosing on that basis. Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:10, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No assertion of notability. The article does a reasonable job of demonstrating that McDevitt-Parks exists. It does almost nothing to establish why he should have an article here. MZMcBride (talk) 15:50, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Wikipedian in Residence - The information contained in this article is valid, encyclopedic information that would greatly benefit the Wikipedian in Residence article, which should be expanded to list the known Wikipedians in Residence and some information about each. McDevitt-Parks is one of the most notable Wikipedians in Residence to date and should be covered on that article. Neelix (talk) 17:01, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NOTNEWS. Relevant information is already in the Wikipedian in Residence article. Peter James (talk) 17:08, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
