The redirect Craig hoffman → Craig Hoffman was speedily deleted under CSD R3 ("Implausible typos") by Bwilkins. I do not believe typing an article's name in lowercase is implausible, and WP:R specifies that "likely alternative capitalizations" is a valid use of a redirect. I tried to contact the deleting admin, but their response was, "No, not the way the search engine works. We don't do redirects from lowercase." I don't feel this was a valid deletion, much less a valid speedy deletion under CSD R3. A precedent is extremely well set in terms of other redirects of the same kind. --Swarm(Talk) 22:17, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep deleted Precedent for BLP names is, indeed, well set. R3 was tagged by another user, the article had been recently moved from an improper name (small case second) to a properly capitalized version. (talk→BWilkins←track) 22:30, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Overturn, RfD if desired. It may be useless, but it is not implausible, and therefore not speediable. Tim Song (talk) 01:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Overturn per Tim Song, redirects from titles that are entirely lowercase (apart from the case insensitive initial letter) are never implausible, so they are never speedy deletable under criterion WP:CSD#R3. RfD at editorial discretion. Thryduulf (talk) 13:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Overturn. All lowercase is an obvious case for a redirect. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Beefeaterdrinker/Sandbox has had a substantial rewrite including the addition of 13 inline citations, linking to 2 BBC pieces, competition wins, high scores in blind tastings etc. In a previous incarnation, the reasons for deletion were due to notability, and I would appreciate guidance as to whether this article can now be relisted, and any further work that needs to be done, relisted or not. I am not sure where to get a copyright free picture for the infobox, for example. Beefeaterdrinker (talk) 10:38, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Move to mainspace I'd not seen previous drafts, and in the last DrV others claimed a COI issue. The current version, while somewhat promotional, is perfectly fine and I find it to be very well sourced indeed. Hotel and Caterer, Financial News, Imbibe, and Wired all seem to have coverage in some detail (though the Wired is the UK edition and quite short). Hobit (talk) 10:58, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Move to mainspace. I've been coaching Beefeaterdrinker on what the article needs to make it notable—and to get it improved enough that it's no longer a substantial copy of the article deleted at WP:Articles for deletion/Sacred Gin (2nd nomination). The breadth of the covering sources (even though some of them, like the Wired story, aren't deep enough to support the article on their own, they play supporting roles and show the company is getting widespread attention) suggests to me that the article now meets WP:GNG. —C.Fred (talk) 13:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Move to mainspace. (I previously deleted this as a reposting of an article that failed AfD and advised deletion review.) I haven't traced the links but if these editors are satisfied, I am too; thanks are due to the individuals who gave us a useful article after a few false starts.

Thankyou for your positive comments. Is it too early to "Move to mainspace"? Or does this process continue for a while? Given that Accounting4Taste was the deleting Administrator, is it his/her responsibility to do this? thanks Beefeaterdrinker (talk) 16:51, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This process lasts seven days, so the userspace draft will be moved to mainspace no later than that time. An administrator could, however, restore this article immediately because WP:CSD#G4 no longer applies. Cunard (talk) 21:45, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
