Billy Shreve – Void close. Inappropriate close, per WP:BADNAC, item 2. – -- RoySmith (talk) 19:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.

This is an inappropriate non-admin close. The discussion has been tainted by extreme WP:WIKILAWYERING and WP:BLUDGEONING by User:E.M.Gregory. He has argued that my use of WP:MULTIAFD is somehow inappropriate. I nominated two articles together about two politicians who hold the same exact position. This tatic has already been tried in a previous Afd and it failed. I don't know why USER:Exemplo347 bought into this silly argument or why he/she decided to go ahead with an non-admin close which would clearly be controversial (because it was a non-admin close, I'm bringing it directly here skipping the talk page step which seems only to apply to admins anyway). The discussion needs to be reopened so it can run its course. And I'd prefer not to just open two new discussions for this and fall into a trap where the same people who argued for the procedural close here will argue that those need to be procedural closed since they were just nominated.

Exemplo347 has been previously warned about closing controversial AfDs as a non-admin. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 17:08, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Overturn and reopen ASAP. Not suitable for an NAC as controversial. Improper bundling arguments are the least convincing when only two articles, easily discussed and !voted on discretely, are involved. There's absolutely no good reason to shut down this discussion after more than a dozen editors have commented substantively. A perfect example of why really bad NAC closes should be reversible by experienced editors. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.
