Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I removed the name of individuals who were/are part of the interview group as well I removed the topics. Any other suggestions are appreciated as I invested a lot of work and revisions over the past couple of months based on editor feedback and would love to have it finished very soon.

This may take 7 weeks or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 1,859 pending submissions waiting for review.
I have eliminated all citations coming from FamilySearch as requested, I would like to resubmit for review my article. Thank you in advance for your consideration to this matter. Fjnovoa ( talk) 16:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
I have added this paragraph, so the subject can pass WP:NPOL
"Dr. Novoa Meléndez legacy belongs to a family that has earned local political notoriety in public service in El Salvador in the 19th and 20th centuries: his father Adolfo Novoa Méndez was Trustee of the City Counsil (Síndico in Spanish) of Sensuntepeque Municipality in 1880, his son Fidel Antonio Novoa Fuentes was a congressman in 1929, both his grandsons Fidel Antonio Novoa Arciniegas was the Mayor of San Salvador in 1964 and Ricardo Armando Novoa Arciniegas was a Judge of the Supreme Court of Justice of El Salvador in 1989."
I have added secondary citation too.
Kindly, could you please reinstate my article. I have put long hours into my project. Fjnovoa ( talk) 20:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello Star Mississippi,
On my article referenced above, I got rid of all the citations from FamilySearch. I have deleted paragraphs to make more summarized and shorter. I am using citation 1, 10 and 12 as secondary sources. Would you kindly review it and advise any changes for improvement and gaining approval?
Thank you in advance,
@ Fjnovoa Fjnovoa ( talk) 01:54, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello Star Mississippi, For the above referenced article I have added secondary sources, [8] which is another Wikipedia article. Your review, advise and corrections would be highly appreciated.
@ Fjnovoa Fjnovoa ( talk) 17:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Hellow StarMississippi,
I am seeking some advice and help please. The articles I have written and submitted for review and approval in English, I was simultaneously translating to Spanish and submitting them too. In the Spanish Wikipedia they were all deleted. As I have learned today, there was an old accusation regarding my user ID from 2013, which I will explain below, in the Spanish language Wikipedia. A comment has been written as if I was attempting to do something with nefarious intent, plagiarizing from another article in the web. But the main issue is that user Taichi has blocked my account, and user Ontzak goes and deletes my requests for review of my blocked account. The later will not give me an explanation why he/she is doing that, and I do not want this blocking to affect my articles nor my user ID in the English language Wikipedia.
Here is my explanation of the misunderstanding, which has been deleted with no explanation an my US ID has a flag that my account is "Special purpose account" (In spanish: Cuenta de propósito particular):
{{unblock|reason you should be unblocked}}
I started my articles on www.geocities.com and tried unsuccessfully to copy them to Wikipedia in Spanish back in 2013, since www.geocities.com was closed. I was accused of plagiarism, which makes no sense when I was the author of said proposed articles.
Recently, I restarted my new initiative of submitting my articles for approval. It is not correct that for 10 years I have tried to insert my ancestors. Duly, and in compliance with Wikipedia's policy, I have declared my conflict of interest on my user page. The fact that this contributor may be personally related to the topic or subject of an article does not prevent him from originally writing a neutral professional point of view on a political historical article on the topic or article. More importantly, the contributor, because he may be personally related, has provided a wealth of firsthand data, knows through oral tradition and provides supporting citations, is an authority on research and research for many years on the subject.
Therefore, it can be argued that it is a biographical article (not autobiographical, since the contributor does not contribute about himself), which has a political historical significance; or, on the other hand, a biography of historical political importance that turns out to be contributed by a personal and well-versed person. My articles have been reviewed by academic historians (third parties) who are not personally or professionally related to the contributor or to the topic or subject, analyzing the sources and citations. And in his opinion, although there may be a conflict of interest or a moral hazard, it is a neutral point of view, and duly disclosed on the contributor's user page, as is Wikipedia's policy.
Being blocked and derogatory information about me affects me a lot. My ancestors are remarkable people, and my initiative is only that the truth be published.
Explanatory note: www.geocities.com was part of www.yahoo.com at the beginning of the internet, and when the multinational AT&T bought www.yahoo.com; AT&T was not interested in the web hosting business, and let the website shut down and lose us customers or contributors. My articles existed in the space of www.geocities.com under the web hosting www.novoa.org. Now all my created pages are in the "dark web", and they have malware and viruses when you try to access them. If I wish to migrate my work to Wikipedia in Spanish, it is precisely to avoid losing my investigative work of more than 45 years Fjnovoa ( talk) 22:48, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello @ Star Mississippi Thank you for your comment.
I am basing on the Meridian-Webster definition #2: denotes the deputy appointed officer at an embassy. I quote next from such reference

Hi @ Star Mississippi Kindly, could you please remove the message/comment left for me in the maintenance section, that is in the article page, that reads "Unlike those who held political office, I'm not sure about Tavera's notability as ambassadors are not inherently notable. This one will be a challenge due to age of sourcing, but I'm not going to decline as I think it's borderline". I believe that I have remediated this, by changing the inforbox in html from office holder to writer, and the office no longer reflects that the subject was a diplomat in the infobox. Moreover, the sentence that used to be in the Achievements sections stating the subject was a consul general has been moved to the Early Life section, with the intent that the focus is not an ambassador, but rather a historian and writer, as well as Pre-Columbian art collector, and a collector of manuscripts and renown paintings of Colombia. Your consideration is much appreciated. Fjnovoa ( talk) 15:26, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

@ Rosguill, Daniel, Deepfriedokra, Netherzone, and Theroadislong: my apologies for that headache you had to deal with. Especially the baseless harassment allegations. I really did believe they were editing in good faith. Le sigh. Thanks again. Star Mississippi 15:07, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
I started spot-checking the content against what the sources actually say in this article Fidel Novoa Meléndez by FJN. I've removed some of the content that definitely was not backed up by some of the sources. A lot of the article seems to be word-of-mouth, family-based oral history, or other original research. Other parts check out, and while I'm not disputing his notability, I think this editor's creations that were deleted from es-wiki need to be checked against what the sources actually say (which are primarily in Spanish). Netherzone ( talk) 17:58, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Happy with your closure, but did you notice the replies were from socks? Doug Weller talk 12:25, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Just a quick heads up that I sent you a brief email. Netherzone ( talk) 23:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello dear friend. I almost completely rewrote the article and indicated authoritative sources. The article showed the importance of the site and what it does for the citizens of Kazakhstan. Please check. I hope my article is valid. I will be extremely grateful if you publish my article in full! Egov.Press Zzremin ( talk) 20:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Your signature and {{ drv top}} really don't seem to get on too well. No idea why. I tried troubleshooting for like 5mins and couldn't work it out - the only way I fixed it at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 February 17 was to close it myself and then copy-paste your sig in. More as an FYI as I don't know why it's happening! Daniel ( talk) 22:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Actually, you were answering a different question than I meant to be asking, although either of them can be inferred from what I wrote. I was asking a procedural question, which was whether our discussion, on a draft, was really about the article, which is the same as the draft. You were answering the substantive question about whether the article should be in article space.
I think that I will start the tedious task of looking at the references. Then again, maybe I will start it, so no promises. Robert McClenon ( talk) 20:28, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I wish to duly inform you @ Star Mississippi that the Biafra Liberation Army Article mainspace which you just redirected to Simon Ekpa has been listed in Rescue squadron list. It's in accordance with Wikipedia rules and regulations. This is to bring to your notice to this very issue please. I was still improving the article before you redirected it to Simon Ekpa and I couldn't grasp it but now I can see you were never aware. The rescue squadron list is not yet closed. I appeal that you kindly restore the article so that I can continue the improvement of the article, adding multiple RS to it. Thanks for your understanding. Fugabus ( talk) 23:14, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi Star Mississippi. Regarding your close, I thought there was enough consensus for a merge; if that discussion were at RM, I think a closer would have found consensus, notwithstanding the objections that it was a pseudo-Latin phrase, on the strength of the argument that it's been cited in other sources beyond the context of Les Misérables; making editors go through another hoop to develop the same consensus seems to run into WP:NOTBURO. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 23:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Respectfully, I had edit conflicted with you on the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Heckler while trying to !vote on it. I had intended to add a comment in support of keeping the article, as follows:
- Keep. This individual has been significantly covered by multiple independent reliable sources in the context of multiple events (i.e. this individual easily passes WP:GNG/ WP:NBASIC). Such sources include a ~2,250-word profile in The Wall Street Journal from 2008 and coverage in The South Florida Sun-Sentinel from 2004 and also from 2008. There is also some less substantial coverage of him in The Miami Herald (regarding his non-political work), NBC News ( 2003, 2013; each regarding his role as a fundraiser), The Tampa Bay Times (regarding his appointment to Chair of the Governor's Cabinet of the Democratic Governors' Association), The New York Times (with coverage of his 2007 wedding, as well as more passing mention in 2011 regarding fundraising). Appeals to WP:NPOL are a bit spurious; his notability does not come from holding or running for public office, and he himself is not a politician in a plain sense.
I understand that this comes belatedly, but I am wondering if you would be willing to re-open and relist the discussion so that additional sources can be discussed. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Instead of closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/What Do I Have to Do? (Stabbing Westward song), should we not relist this at the highly visible AFD to establish consensus? -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 13:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of What Do I Have to Do? (Stabbing Westward song). Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Hi there, just wanted to chat you up so you understand my position. I am not advocating to allow them to continue disruption. I only want to see the opportunity to change that behavior into something useful and not be cast out with no voice at all. I think that depending on the level of what they are saying some leeway on talk pages should be there because it allows the ability to hopefully change those opinions. I hope you understand I don't mean to continue to allow them to say things that are inappropriate.
I'm probably naive here but I think things like racism, sexism and this gender stuff comes from people on both sides trying to make the other the boogeyman with people not taking the time to hear some of the things they need to hear. I don't support discrimination on trans or abuse in any shape, if what I said comes off that way I apologize. I'm not them, I don't feel those feelings personally so I don't have a big window to how they experience the world. What I do know is that while I don't understand some of it, I don't need to, the only thing I have to do is treat them good and give them the same respect and love I'd want. I experience the world the way I do and it's as unique to me as is theirs to them. I hope what I said hasn't or didn't offend you, it wasn't meant to.

Hello, Star Mississippi,
Thank you for cleaning up all of those unnecessary AFD nominations. I think the account must be compromised because I looked at their earlier edits and they were solid, gnomish editing. I don't know why they went over-the-top, nominating so many decent articles. But, maybe, if they post an unblock request, there might be some clarity about this. But thanks for your swift action and on a weekend! Liz Read! Talk! 02:07, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
You're right. I shouldn't be using Wikipedia for social networking. For that, you deserve the right to hit me with the trout. However, I do have to admit that DFO did thank me for my edit on his talk page, but other than that, I take all responsibility and fault for the edit. NoobThreePointOh ( talk) 19:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Can't make this up. They are back as user KnownIt. CNMall41 ( talk) 22:16, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
There was just one comment in this AFD, and he did not actually say the article is to be redirected, only that it is one the plausible options, something the nominator then interpreted as a "redirect" vote. I'd strongly suggest this should have been relisted instead of closed. Howard the Duck ( talk) 20:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Star Mississippi,
I am just burned out on AFDs. We have been losing discussion closers and participants (at least decent ones) for months now. I took a break two weeks ago and came back to see the absence of some regulars I had grown to rely on. I don't see any consensus on many discussions so I relist them, then I get flak for relisting discussions that an editor wants to be closed according to their point-of-view. And sometimes there is no further participation even after a couple of relistings. I think instead of nominating bad articles, a lot of marginal articles are getting nominated these days and there is just no conclusive discussion on what should happen with them.
About a year ago, I went to the Village Pump asking for more editors to participate in deletion discussions but I couldn't tell whether or not anyone responded to that plea. I'm out of ideas and what bothers me more than inconclusive discussions is that it often comes down to one or two editors determining whether or not an article is deleted and no handful of editors should have that much influence on the project's content. I'm thankful for help clearing out bad articles from the project but I see what I think are decent articles get deleted because they only had one or two sources, not three.
Any ideas on how to get more editors and admins to help out? I know that every single area of the project is short-staffed these days but this is an area that I spend time on so it's what is on my mind, at least tonight. Thanks for letting me vent. Liz Read! Talk! 04:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
I wish we had something between PROD and AfD. Because of the rules of PROD and soft deletion, we have AfDs like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Catabasis Pharmaceuticals. (I'm going to drop Liz a courtesy note since she doesn't do pings). She did what she had to do since it's ineligible for soft deletion, but no one is actually arguing for retention because no one cares about a random, non notable company. Enter my IAR close because another relist was pointless. AfD reform is hot topic and rightfully so, but we really need meaningful deletion reform because I'm not sure the process works for a 20 year old project. Star Mississippi 18:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Can you please draft Uptown Scottsbluff into my userspace? I feel the AFD was invalid and would like to improve it. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 21:54, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Any chance for a relist of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Koumac Airport? It still seems like an unresolved debate to me, given that of the three keep !votes, one is WP:PERX and another is just WP:ITSNOTABLE. Pilaz ( talk) 16:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
I appreciate you putting that thread out of its misery. I do have a mild complaint slash request about the closing statement. I may send you email about it in a little while after I give this some more thought. If I do I would not be expecting an email back, just either a rewording or not as seems best to you. It's a "just saying" kind of thing with a slight tinge of privacy concerns
But seriously, thanks again Elinruby ( talk) 19:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Ok. I praised you in a section on my talk page that someone startec based (I think) on that closing statement. That may shed some light on what I am talking about. People don't click the freaking links. Thank you for being someone who does.
i will drop you a note, sure. trying to come up with a better idea first. Elinruby ( talk) 02:23, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Star Mississippi, you probably remember me from joining the ANI report you filed against another user, which led to sanctions. Recently, at Talk:La Rambla Building (and even at another user's talk page) that same user appears to be badgering other editors to try to push for the implementation of a challenged edit request. By now, there's a total of 5 of us involved over there, do you think this is a problem? Any advice or assistance in dealing with the situation would be much appreciated. Left guide ( talk) 05:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Star Mississippi. For nearly 12 (!!!) years now, 98.186.55.18 has created hundreds of article & template drafts that were rejected per WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. He was warned God knows how many times, blocked many times, and was extremely hostile when banned. He's an absolute pain to the sports WikiProjects (both college and professional) and at this point there is 0% chance he'll ever change. This editor exhibits no required competence, and is an objective detriment to Wikipedia. He's evaded blocks by using different IPs (e.g. 98.186.54.177 // 70.179.216.206 // 68.103.78.155 // 68.102.39.189 // 2600:8803:7A00:19:F9E8:259A:179F:F5C1 // 68.102.40.154 // 68.102.61.195 ... I could link even more).
In May 2022 I alerted you to his inadequate competence back then, and two years later we're still dealing with the same shit. It's never going away; I'm personally fed up.
You've been a great administrator for nearly 16 years. You may need to defer the request I'm about to make to another admin per being previously WP:INVOLVED with this IP, but: Can you please permanently block any or all of the aforementioned IPs? SportsGuy789 ( talk) 07:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Star Mississippi, can I take you up on the refund offer at WP:Articles for deletion/Hira Mosque? (I'd assume to Draft:Hira Mosque) The sources I supplied at AfD (an academic journal and a foreign language source) would take some time and effort for me to comb through, so I'd venture to say the notability is inconclusive, but it's a topic I have some personal interest in. I might merge some info into other articles either way (I appreciate the suggestions in your closing statement). Also, is there a ja.wiki article? I can't remember, I should've noted that before deletion, sorry about that. Thanks. Left guide ( talk) 23:24, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Star Mississippi,
I hope you are having a good weekend. While you closed this AFD discussion as Merge, because you mention two separate articles, the article under discussion doesn't have a Merge tag on it and the Merge target articles are missing it, too. I don't work with Merges so I rely on XFDcloser to do this tagging and so I don't know the correct template to use. But I think once the article is tagged, the article will appear in the correct categories so editors can see that it needs to be merged.
Also, thanks for letting me know about the discussion (above). It's interesting reading. Liz Read! Talk! 02:29, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm sure you know by now that the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Techspressionism has become a mess in more ways than one. I've been trying to help organize and keep track of it, but I'm unable to wrap my head around this edit. My best guess is that part of MarioCCult's original comment is now erroneously embedded into Scribe1791's comment, but I'm not 100% sure. If I had caught it at the time, I would've just reverted.

A relatively inexperienced editor innocuously accepted his AfC submission cited only to four primary source government publications and an unreliable source; likely would've been declined by an experienced reviewer.

I have added this paragraph, so the subject can pass WP:NPOL
"Dr. Novoa Meléndez legacy belongs to a family that has earned local political notoriety in public service in El Salvador in the 19th and 20th centuries: his father Adolfo Novoa Méndez was Trustee of the City Counsil (Síndico in Spanish) of Sensuntepeque Municipality in 1880, his son Fidel Antonio Novoa Fuentes was a congressman in 1929, both his grandsons Fidel Antonio Novoa Arciniegas was the Mayor of San Salvador in 1964 and Ricardo Armando Novoa Arciniegas was a Judge of the Supreme Court of Justice of El Salvador in 1989."

Hellow StarMississippi,
I am seeking some advice and help please. The articles I have written and submitted for review and approval in English, I was simultaneously translating to Spanish and submitting them too. In the Spanish Wikipedia they were all deleted. As I have learned today, there was an old accusation regarding my user ID from 2013, which I will explain below, in the Spanish language Wikipedia. A comment has been written as if I was attempting to do something with nefarious intent, plagiarizing from another article in the web. But the main issue is that user Taichi has blocked my account, and user Ontzak goes and deletes my requests for review of my blocked account. The later will not give me an explanation why he/she is doing that, and I do not want this blocking to affect my articles nor my user ID in the English language Wikipedia.
Here is my explanation of the misunderstanding, which has been deleted with no explanation an my US ID has a flag that my account is "Special purpose account" (In spanish: Cuenta de propósito particular):
{{unblock|reason you should be unblocked}}
I started my articles on www.geocities.com and tried unsuccessfully to copy them to Wikipedia in Spanish back in 2013, since www.geocities.com was closed. I was accused of plagiarism, which makes no sense when I was the author of said proposed articles.
Recently, I restarted my new initiative of submitting my articles for approval. It is not correct that for 10 years I have tried to insert my ancestors. Duly, and in compliance with Wikipedia's policy, I have declared my conflict of interest on my user page. The fact that this contributor may be personally related to the topic or subject of an article does not prevent him from originally writing a neutral professional point of view on a political historical article on the topic or article. More importantly, the contributor, because he may be personally related, has provided a wealth of firsthand data, knows through oral tradition and provides supporting citations, is an authority on research and research for many years on the subject.
Therefore, it can be argued that it is a biographical article (not autobiographical, since the contributor does not contribute about himself), which has a political historical significance; or, on the other hand, a biography of historical political importance that turns out to be contributed by a personal and well-versed person. My articles have been reviewed by academic historians (third parties) who are not personally or professionally related to the contributor or to the topic or subject, analyzing the sources and citations. And in his opinion, although there may be a conflict of interest or a moral hazard, it is a neutral point of view, and duly disclosed on the contributor's user page, as is Wikipedia's policy.
Being blocked and derogatory information about me affects me a lot. My ancestors are remarkable people, and my initiative is only that the truth be published.
Explanatory note: www.geocities.com was part of www.yahoo.com at the beginning of the internet, and when the multinational AT&T bought www.yahoo.com; AT&T was not interested in the web hosting business, and let the website shut down and lose us customers or contributors. My articles existed in the space of www.geocities.com under the web hosting www.novoa.org. Now all my created pages are in the "dark web", and they have malware and viruses when you try to access them. If I wish to migrate my work to Wikipedia in Spanish, it is precisely to avoid losing my investigative work of more than 45 years Fjnovoa ( talk) 22:48, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello @ Star Mississippi Thank you for your comment.
I am basing on the Meridian-Webster definition #2: denotes the deputy appointed officer at an embassy. I quote next from such reference
noun con·sul ˈkän(t)-səl Definition
Synonyms of consul
Definition of consul

Hi @ Star Mississippi Kindly, could you please remove the message/comment left for me in the maintenance section, that is in the article page, that reads "Unlike those who held political office, I'm not sure about Tavera's notability as ambassadors are not inherently notable. This one will be a challenge due to age of sourcing, but I'm not going to decline as I think it's borderline". I believe that I have remediated this, by changing the inforbox in html from office holder to writer, and the office no longer reflects that the subject was a diplomat in the infobox. Moreover, the sentence that used to be in the Achievements sections stating the subject was a consul general has been moved to the Early Life section, with the intent that the focus is not an ambassador, but rather a historian and writer, as well as Pre-Columbian art collector, and a collector of manuscripts and renown paintings of Colombia. Your consideration is much appreciated. Fjnovoa ( talk) 15:26, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

@ Rosguill, Daniel, Deepfriedokra, Netherzone, and Theroadislong: my apologies for that headache you had to deal with. Especially the baseless harassment allegations. I really did believe they were editing in good faith. Le sigh. Thanks again. Star Mississippi 15:07, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
I started spot-checking the content against what the sources actually say in this article Fidel Novoa Meléndez by FJN. I've removed some of the content that definitely was not backed up by some of the sources. A lot of the article seems to be word-of-mouth, family-based oral history, or other original research. Other parts check out, and while I'm not disputing his notability, I think this editor's creations that were deleted from es-wiki need to be checked against what the sources actually say (which are primarily in Spanish).

Your signature and {{ drv top}} really don't seem to get on too well. No idea why. I tried troubleshooting for like 5mins and couldn't work it out - the only way I fixed it at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 February 17 was to close it myself and then copy-paste your sig in. More as an FYI as I don't know why it's happening! Daniel ( talk) 22:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Actually, you were answering a different question than I meant to be asking, although either of them can be inferred from what I wrote. I was asking a procedural question, which was whether our discussion, on a draft, was really about the article, which is the same as the draft. You were answering the substantive question about whether the article should be in article space.
I think that I will start the tedious task of looking at the references. Then again, maybe I will start it, so no promises. Robert McClenon ( talk) 20:28, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I wish to duly inform you @ Star Mississippi that the Biafra Liberation Army Article mainspace which you just redirected to Simon Ekpa has been listed in Rescue squadron list. It's in accordance with Wikipedia rules and regulations. This is to bring to your notice to this very issue please. I was still improving the article before you redirected it to Simon Ekpa and I couldn't grasp it but now I can see you were never aware. The rescue squadron list is not yet closed. I appeal that you kindly restore the article so that I can continue the improvement of the article, adding multiple RS to it. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Star Mississippi. Regarding your close, I thought there was enough consensus for a merge; if that discussion were at RM, I think a closer would have found consensus, notwithstanding the objections that it was a pseudo-Latin phrase, on the strength of the argument that it's been cited in other sources beyond the context of Les Misérables; making editors go through another hoop to develop the same consensus seems to run into WP:NOTBURO. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 23:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Respectfully, I had edit conflicted with you on the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Heckler while trying to !vote on it. I had intended to add a comment in support of keeping the article, as follows:
- Keep. This individual has been significantly covered by multiple independent reliable sources in the context of multiple events (i.e. this individual easily passes WP:GNG/ WP:NBASIC). Such sources include a ~2,250-word profile in The Wall Street Journal from 2008 and coverage in The South Florida Sun-Sentinel from 2004 and also from 2008. There is also some less substantial coverage of him in The Miami Herald (regarding his non-political work), NBC News ( 2003, 2013; each regarding his role as a fundraiser), The Tampa Bay Times (regarding his appointment to Chair of the Governor's Cabinet of the Democratic Governors' Association), The New York Times (with coverage of his 2007 wedding, as well as more passing mention in 2011 regarding fundraising). Appeals to WP:NPOL are a bit spurious; his notability does not come from holding or running for public office, and he himself is not a politician in a plain sense.
I understand that this comes belatedly, but I am wondering if you would be willing to re-open and relist the discussion so that additional sources can be discussed. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Instead of closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/What Do I Have to Do? (Stabbing Westward song), should we not relist this at the highly visible AFD to establish consensus? -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 13:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of What Do I Have to Do? (Stabbing Westward song). Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Hi there, just wanted to chat you up so you understand my position. I am not advocating to allow them to continue disruption. I only want to see the opportunity to change that behavior into something useful and not be cast out with no voice at all. I think that depending on the level of what they are saying some leeway on talk pages should be there because it allows the ability to hopefully change those opinions. I hope you understand I don't mean to continue to allow them to say things that are inappropriate.
I'm probably naive here but I think things like racism, sexism and this gender stuff comes from people on both sides trying to make the other the boogeyman with people not taking the time to hear some of the things they need to hear. I don't support discrimination on trans or abuse in any shape, if what I said comes off that way I apologize. I'm not them, I don't feel those feelings personally so I don't have a big window to how they experience the world. What I do know is that while I don't understand some of it, I don't need to, the only thing I have to do is treat them good and give them the same respect and love I'd want. I experience the world the way I do and it's as unique to me as is theirs to them. I hope what I said hasn't or didn't offend you, it wasn't meant to.

Hello, Star Mississippi,
Thank you for cleaning up all of those unnecessary AFD nominations. I think the account must be compromised because I looked at their earlier edits and they were solid, gnomish editing. I don't know why they went over-the-top, nominating so many decent articles. But, maybe, if they post an unblock request, there might be some clarity about this. But thanks for your swift action and on a weekend! Liz Read! Talk! 02:07, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
You're right. I shouldn't be using Wikipedia for social networking. For that, you deserve the right to hit me with the trout.

There was just one comment in this AFD, and he did not actually say the article is to be redirected, only that it is one the plausible options, something the nominator then interpreted as a "redirect" vote. I'd strongly suggest this should have been relisted instead of closed. Howard the Duck ( talk) 20:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Star Mississippi,
I am just burned out on AFDs. We have been losing discussion closers and participants (at least decent ones) for months now. I took a break two weeks ago and came back to see the absence of some regulars I had grown to rely on. I don't see any consensus on many discussions so I relist them, then I get flak for relisting discussions that an editor wants to be closed according to their point-of-view. And sometimes there is no further participation even after a couple of relistings. I think instead of nominating bad articles, a lot of marginal articles are getting nominated these days and there is just no conclusive discussion on what should happen with them.
About a year ago, I went to the Village Pump asking for more editors to participate in deletion discussions but I couldn't tell whether or not anyone responded to that plea. I'm out of ideas and what bothers me more than inconclusive discussions is that it often comes down to one or two editors determining whether or not an article is deleted and no handful of editors should have that much influence on the project's content. I'm thankful for help clearing out bad articles from the project but I see what I think are decent articles get deleted because they only had one or two sources, not three.
Any ideas on how to get more editors and admins to help out? I know that every single area of the project is short-staffed these days but this is an area that I spend time on so it's what is on my mind, at least tonight. Thanks for letting me vent. Liz Read! Talk! 04:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
I wish we had something between PROD and AfD. Because of the rules of PROD and soft deletion, we have AfDs like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Catabasis Pharmaceuticals. (I'm going to drop Liz a courtesy note since she doesn't do pings). She did what she had to do since it's ineligible for soft deletion, but no one is actually arguing for retention because no one cares about a random, non notable company. Enter my IAR close because another relist was pointless. AfD reform is hot topic and rightfully so, but we really need meaningful deletion reform because I'm not sure the process works for a 20 year old project. Star Mississippi 18:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate you putting that thread out of its misery. I do have a mild complaint slash request about the closing statement. I may send you email about it in a little while after I give this some more thought. If I do I would not be expecting an email back, just either a rewording or not as seems best to you. It's a "just saying" kind of thing with a slight tinge of privacy concerns
But seriously, thanks again Elinruby ( talk) 19:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Ok. I praised you in a section on my talk page that someone startec based (I think) on that closing statement. That may shed some light on what I am talking about. People don't click the freaking links. Thank you for being someone who does.

Hi Star Mississippi, you probably remember me from joining the ANI report you filed against another user, which led to sanctions. Recently, at Talk:La Rambla Building (and even at another user's talk page) that same user appears to be badgering other editors to try to push for the implementation of a challenged edit request. By now, there's a total of 5 of us involved over there, do you think this is a problem? Any advice or assistance in dealing with the situation would be much appreciated.

Hi Star Mississippi. For nearly 12 (!!!) years now, 98.186.55.18 has created hundreds of article & template drafts that were rejected per WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. He was warned God knows how many times, blocked many times, and was extremely hostile when banned. He's an absolute pain to the sports WikiProjects (both college and professional) and at this point there is 0% chance he'll ever change. This editor exhibits no required competence, and is an objective detriment to Wikipedia. He's evaded blocks by using different IPs (e.g. 98.186.54.177 // 70.179.216.206 // 68.103.78.155 // 68.102.39.189 // 2600:8803:7A00:19:F9E8:259A:179F:F5C1 // 68.102.40.154 // 68.102.61.195 ... I could link even more).
In May 2022 I alerted you to his inadequate competence back then, and two years later we're still dealing with the same shit. It's never going away; I'm personally fed up.
You've been a great administrator for nearly 16 years. You may need to defer the request I'm about to make to another admin per being previously WP:INVOLVED with this IP, but: Can you please permanently block any or all of the aforementioned IPs? SportsGuy789 ( talk) 07:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Star Mississippi, can I take you up on the refund offer at WP:Articles for deletion/Hira Mosque? (I'd assume to Draft:Hira Mosque) The sources I supplied at AfD (an academic journal and a foreign language source) would take some time and effort for me to comb through, so I'd venture to say the notability is inconclusive, but it's a topic I have some personal interest in. I might merge some info into other articles either way (I appreciate the suggestions in your closing statement). Also, is there a ja.wiki article? I can't remember, I should've noted that before deletion, sorry about that. Thanks. Left guide ( talk) 23:24, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Star Mississippi,
I hope you are having a good weekend. While you closed this AFD discussion as Merge, because you mention two separate articles, the article under discussion doesn't have a Merge tag on it and the Merge target articles are missing it, too. I don't work with Merges so I rely on XFDcloser to do this tagging and so I don't know the correct template to use. But I think once the article is tagged, the article will appear in the correct categories so editors can see that it needs to be merged.
Also, thanks for letting me know about the discussion (above). It's interesting reading. Liz Read! Talk! 02:29, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm sure you know by now that the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Techspressionism has become a mess in more ways than one. I've been trying to help organize and keep track of it, but I'm unable to wrap my head around this edit. My best guess is that part of MarioCCult's original comment is now erroneously embedded into Scribe1791's comment, but I'm not 100% sure. If I had caught it at the time, I would've just reverted.
