OK, so your close on this was The result was delete. The key problems with the "keep" arguments here is that they were overlong or were challenged by others, whereas the "delete" comments stood their ground... too many people think this article is unsalvageable and its quality of sourcing is just not good enough.
I request that overturn this decision, thanks. Here's my reasoning:
The result was delete. The key problems with the "keep" arguments here is that they were:
"whereas the 'delete' comment[ers] stood their ground". But I mean so what? Sure a lot of people stood their ground on a basis that approximates "Nyah nyah cannot hear you, I don't like the article and I'm standing my ground". How is this a virtue.
"too many people think this article is unsalvageable and its quality of sourcing is just not good enough". Well but wait. Who care what people who are wrong think? OK, so here are the sources, from three continents:
That's eleven, and most (not all) of them are pretty good. And I know there are more, although I don't know how many or if any of them are any good.
So look, Ritchie333. I want you to look me in the eye and tell me that it is reasonable to argue that this level of sourcing cannot sustain an article, that any article -- an article about a politician, a book, a sporting event, a shipping company, a battle, a species of moth, a high school, a musician, a variety of cheese, or whatever -- with only this level of sourcing (four complete long articles along with some shorter pieces, in eleven sources (five of which are bluelinked) from three continents should be destroyed on the basis of insufficient sourcing.
I want you to tell me with your own words that this is a reasonable argument which, if enough people espouse it (for whatever reason, and I think we can probably figure out what the reason is) -- will win the day in any AfD.
If you can't, then I request to overturn your decision, thank you. If you can, I still request you to overturn your decision, since this would be against our notability rules and would probably put half of our 5 million articles on the chopping block.

Hi Ritchie,
Never lowered myself into Adminship discussions until now, then noticed that one recent case was terminated with WP:SNOW. [ [3]]
I find WP:SNOW rather reflects badly on the process. Instead, I believe WP:NOTNOW is rather OK, and I feel would have been fair under the circumstances.
I know this is a wiki, I could just revert Crboyer, then do NOTNOW, but then that closed RfA page is plastered with "please don't touch" notices, and as you can tell, I do care about manners. I also don't want to break anything, or even worse, make bad ennemies among admins.
What would Ritchie333 do? Thanks! YamaPlos talk 14:49, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ricky, could you please reconsider the undeletion of the page for Samskip as I attend to work on this. Samskip derives from the Federation of Co-operatives, Samband, which started a shipping company, Samband Line, in 1943. Samband Line, a division of Samband, was changed into a limited company in 1991 called Samskip hf. Samskip employs approximately 1,500 people working in more than 26 countries worldwide as well as agents in other locations. It is a well known company and has a lot of news activity. It should therefore be on Wikipedia, without any commercial text.

Hey - I was just wondering if you would be OK with restoring the article for The God of High School and moving it to the student's userspace. I think that it passes A7 criteria since it's a popular webtoon that has been adapted into a mobile app game and an OAV. I was about to move it when you deleted it - my intent was to move it back to the student could search for sourcing. It looks like they translated it from the Korean WP page, so I'm guessing that they may be fluent enough to search. (Or at the very least they can use Google Translate to search.) A quick glance shows that there's a lot out there, so it's somewhat likely that there will be enough sourcing to pass notability criteria.

Hi Ritchie333,
Thanks for reviewing the page 'Chalein', and bit surprise as you have taken decision to delete the page. let me explain, why the page should exist on Wikipedia. First of all its non-profit carpool/ridesharing services with having the aim to reduce the pollution, road traffic and accidents by encouraging people to use of Ridesharing. by putting this page on Wikipedia people will familiar as to why ridesharing is important to reduce the vehicles from the Road, and what the aim of Chalein. I would call it as advertisements but will get knowledge of ridesharing services and the channel available for it. even though the decision is yours, you have full right to remove it if you fill it shouldn't be on Wikipedia.
but I wish to have the page on Wikipedia, to make aware the people such initiative.

Hi,
My page got deleted. I wanted to work on it to make it so that it was up to Wikipedia's standards. The draft was called Draft:Robert A. Sauerberg. It was deleted because of copyright. It is very very similar to the biography of Robert Sauerberg that appears on condenast.com . However, my team and I are the ones who wrote and created the bio that lives there- so we're copyrighting ourselves. I'm not sure how to progress - I want to make it so that the bio that appears on condenast.com is of fair use so that I can post it here without it getting deleted. Can you please revive the draft on Wikipedia while I work on getting the original biography cleared for fair use??
Thank you.

The German equivalent to DYK has one of my articles today (and tomorrow): " Sonne der Gerechtigkeit, gehe auf zu unsrer Zeit" (Sun of justice, rise in our time), the hook saying that it was a wake-up call against Nazi thinking, and used a lot in the political peace prayers on Mondays.

I was merely adding a comment that the page was speedily deleted in the past. I didn't say that it was a reason for it to be declined. Also, I have pressing real-life issues to go through right now that have reduced my time for Wikipedia (working 10 days straight, for starters, would certainly reduce the time available for Wikipedia). I have every intention to reply to the comments on my page when I have time for it. I could have drafted a quick, low-quality response, but what would that do to improve the page?
Lastly, I must protest the tone that this conversation has taken. The implied threats that was left is, in my opinion, counter-intuitive and completely unhelpful. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 22:04, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
(Update) Also, I must set the record straight about accusations of me "deleting a draft completely out of process". I can't delete any articles, because I am not even an administrator to start with. I have the rights to recommend the deletion of articles (as any editors do), but I don't have sysop rights. I can't do something that I have no rights to.

Hi Ritchie333,
Thanks for reviewing the page 'Chalein', and bit surprise as you have taken decision to delete the page. let me explain, why the page should exist on Wikipedia. First of all its non-profit carpool/ridesharing services with having the aim to reduce the pollution, road traffic and accidents by encouraging people to use of Ridesharing. by putting this page on Wikipedia people will familiar as to why ridesharing is important to reduce the vehicles from the Road, and what the aim of Chalein. I would call it as advertisements but will get knowledge of ridesharing services and the channel available for it. even though the decision is yours, you have full right to remove it if you fill it shouldn't be on Wikipedia.
but I wish to have the page on Wikipedia, to make aware the people such initiative.

Hi Ritchie,
Noticed that the article I created on InvoiceInterchange was deleted. May I request for its contents to be retrieved? Also, is there any feedback I could take note of to make the article less promotional in nature as well? Planning to refine this article so that it can meet wiki's standards, thanks!

````swati28tripathi I think you might require the serial number for answering my query, the serial number is SerialNumber54129. I created a Wiki page about Della Adventures and Resorts. I tried and kept it non promotional, but it got deleted for being promotional. I would like to know how can I create a Wiki page about the Della Adventures without it being looking promotional. Also, i provided enough reference links written by third party and re-known press media of India. I would be very thankful, if you could guide me on the same. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. I would make sure to avoid the mistakes you just pointed out. Are there any other mistakes so that i don't end up pinging the editors again and again? Thanks in advance! Swati28tripathi ( talk) 13:58, 5 December 2017 (UTC)swati28tripathi

Hi,
My page got deleted. I wanted to work on it to make it so that it was up to Wikipedia's standards. The draft was called Draft:Robert A. Sauerberg. It was deleted because of copyright. It is very very similar to the biography of Robert Sauerberg that appears on condenast.com . However, my team and I are the ones who wrote and created the bio that lives there- so we're copyrighting ourselves. I'm not sure how to progress - I want to make it so that the bio that appears on condenast.com is of fair use so that I can post it here without it getting deleted. Can you please revive the draft on Wikipedia while I work on getting the original biography cleared for fair use??
Thank you.

which will alert somebody towards it. Normally I use G12 as an additional "device" for a probably unsalvageable article which doesn't quite meet the standalone A7 / G11 criteria. Since this is a biography of a woman, established policy is to ping
Megalibrarygirl and get her to improve it. :-)

The German equivalent to DYK has one of my articles today (and tomorrow): " Sonne der Gerechtigkeit, gehe auf zu unsrer Zeit" (Sun of justice, rise in our time), the hook saying that it was a wake-up call against Nazi thinking, and used a lot in the political peace prayers on Mondays. (There's a English version.) I remember standing at The Wall at the Brandenburg Gate, thinking it would stay for (my) life. It didn't! I just returned from a great operatic experience in what was East then. - We hope. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
I was merely adding a comment that the page was speedily deleted in the past. I didn't say that it was a reason for it to be declined. Also, I have pressing real-life issues to go through right now that have reduced my time for Wikipedia (working 10 days straight, for starters, would certainly reduce the time available for Wikipedia). I have every intention to reply to the comments on my page when I have time for it. I could have drafted a quick, low-quality response, but what would that do to improve the page?
Lastly, I must protest the tone that this conversation has taken. The implied threats that was left is, in my opinion, counter-intuitive and completely unhelpful. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 22:04, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
(Update) Also, I must set the record straight about accusations of me "deleting a draft completely out of process". I can't delete any articles, because I am not even an administrator to start with. I have the rights to recommend the deletion of articles (as any editors do), but I don't have sysop rights. I can't do something that I have no rights to.
