The nominator of the AFD disputes the validity of my closure, because I participated in its discussion. Per, WP:IAR and WP:RELIST, I closed the discussion because it had a WP:SNOWball's chance of it being closed otherwise. The AFD is a month old, re-listed numerous times, with the final one (with the re-lister stating it was likely going to be closed as non-consensus) not only producing nothing to build a deletion consensus, but being drawn out over its allotted 7 days. I also have concerns over the nominator's display of incivility during the discussion. --wL<speak·check> 10:04, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I asked wikileon to undo this outrageously out of process NC close from an involved keep voter but he refused citing IAR. Instead he choses to cast aspertions in my direction instead of accepting the challenge. This is the conversation Maybe an uninvolved admin could just undo this?

I doubt there would be much of a complaint if they hadn't posted in the discussion immediately before closing it. This discussion will still probably be closed as no consensus, but someone who !voted should not have closed it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:01, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Just lost a long comment after an edit conflict. Basic theme: Closer shouldn't have closed. I'd urge someone else to do so.
- Looking at the specific case: Numbers lean toward keep or NC. Arguments rely on Jezebel article (which appears to be great) and QC India article, which appears to likely not count (summary of a reddit AMA with no byline). Looking at the article and searching we see some notable main-stream interviews (Howard Stern) and a few paragraphs in LA Weekly as well as some more questionable sources such as The Sun (an entire article) and a lot of mentions/references in the DailyDot. But the big issue is the awards--most of the discussion focused on that. She's won one of the largest in the porn field and been nominated for the same a bunch of times. The AfD/DRV nom has indicated those don't count, but I can't find any consensus external to the AfD on that (I recall there being massive discussions on the topic, but I don't recall a decision to discard the best of these). All told, I'd say NC is the right outcome if there is a consensus to ignore *all* porn awards, otherwise we have a keep. Hobit (talk) 12:19, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Vacate and trout Citing WP:IAR after a BADNAC? WikiLeon's eating trout for dinner every night this week. Closer should not have closed after voting, they shouldn't have closed had they not voted, and they definitely shouldn't referenced WP:IAR after being called out about it.

- Agree with all but one part. Why shouldn't they have closed after not voting? Am I missing something? Hobit (talk) 16:55, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NACD
Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to admins. I consider this close. SportingFlyer T·C 18:01, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on the "admin stats" on their page and long time in service, I'd assumed they were an admin. Tis my day for making mistakes. Hobit (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I was an admin. --wL<speak·check> 20:29, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I'm another ex-admin who wouldn't have closed it either--no upside to you doing it, and this DRV was an almost inevitable result. Vacate and reclose won't change anything, but we didn't need it closed fast, and we didn't need this DRV either. Jclemens (talk) 19:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Overturn and Relist - As the other editors say, this should have been left to an admin. I would probably weakly endorse a No Consensus close or a Keep close by an uninvolved non-admin, although an admin close would be better. But it wasn't necessary to ignore the rules. What was the rush? Is there any real difference between closing it as No Consensus and leaving it unclosed to wait for a closer? If you really really think that it needs to be closed, can't you list it at WP:ANRFC? Of course, that won't close it immediately, but neither does a BADNAC that gets appealed.

- Trout - I don't care whether the No Consensus is upheld, or if it's vacated so somebody else can close as No Consensus. IAR isn't license to ignore rules just because you don't like them, and there clearly was no urgency in closing the AFD. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:32, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy overturn and a hover of trout. You never, ever, ever close a debate you participated in, unless you're closing it against your own view and the debate is otherwise unanimous. That's non-negotiable. Stifle (talk) 10:28, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I voted "keep", and the closed it as "no-consensus" (a different view because of the effects on whether or not the article gets relisted). --wL<speak·check> 01:00, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- No consensus isn't against your own view if your own view is "keep", because both have the same effective outcome. Fix your mistake rather than doubling-down on it. Stifle (talk) 10:17, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Relist The nominator may not close, except to withdraw the AfD if nobody agrees with them (and even then I say I'm withdrawing it and let someone else do the actual close) . A person joining in the discussion may not close-- even its unanimous., a neutral closer might choose to continue the discussion. . I'm not big on following procedure exactly when the result is otherwise clear, but this is one the basic rules to prevent obvious unfairness. It's one of the places where we need to draw a firm boundary. DGG ( talk ) 23:16, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
