Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Adland (2nd nomination)

I'm aware that a result has already been found, which I'm happy about. However, since I was mentioned twice I would like to explain myself.

The notability tag was removed here, by a user that (as many other users editing this article here on enwp, on dawp and on svwp - where the article got deleted by the way) happens upon the article for Adland, find "sources", adds them after text not having to do with the source they use and then never edit Wikipedia again. It had previously been removed here by a non-logged in user who just happened upon the article, wanted to add some references, used them incorrectly and yeah I think most of you get the point. Why should we let these possible meat/sock-puppets dictate that the date should be renewed? The fact was that the notability tag was added in 2011. It was then removed twice by users clearly not here for editing wikipedia in other ways than to promote the subject at hand and they should read WP:COI before editing (mind you I've already given Åsk Wäppling that same message, and I readded them every time. I will of course not readd it now since the discussion this time ended in something. Removing it after not coming to a consensus seems to me to be a really strange way to go about it.

I'm not as active as I once was when I was an admin at svwp (for the record I was not the one to delete the Adland article on svwp), but I do visit wikipedia in Swedish on a fairly regular basis, but not so often the english speaking one - and even less logged in nowadays. When I do I often take a look at the article about Adland to see if any new "sources" have been added that need to be removed due to them not backing up what's stated in the article by any other new wikipediaaccount or IP-adress.

Oh, and had I seen this earlier I would have readded the tag a third time. Imagine, someone who just happens upon this article, removes that tag and then never edits wikipedia again. I can't believe it! GameOn (talk) 11:50, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"mind you I've already given Åsk Wäppling that same message"

When did you give me this message, and how? The only time that I can see that we have ever spoken was about a perfume page I was editing. Aaskw (talk) 15:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
