Tenzin Tsering ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( restore | cache | AfD)) Reasons for deletion review: Comment by review nominee. The
Tamding Tsering page, and an entire class of other similar pages, are being prodded, as per a recent AfD: "Non-notable football player. Should be deleted as per
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tenzin Tsering".
I also belive in a level playing ground. I see tonnes and tonnes of pages on American football and baseball playes, European football players, and I see a page on Algeria national ice hockey team (initially thought to be a hoax) etc., etc... I'm not applying OTHERCRAP EXISTS, I'm merely calling for decent behaviour here. This comment applies to the following pages (list may be incomplete):

Category:Theatres in the United States ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) ( restore | cache)) ( CFD1 | CFD2 | CFD3) This is about the result of a redirect discussion, not a deletion. However the closing admin, User:Kbdank71 referred me here. This is about 2008 December 27#Category:Theatres in the United States - the closing admin, Kbdank71, said that there was no consensus and did not provide a closing statement. This discussion was about a move of "Category:Theatres in the United States to Category:Theaters in the United States" to comply with WP:ENGVAR and related guidelines. This is so the category would reflect the most common spelling in the United States, as that is what the guidelines call for. User:Kbdank71 said there was no consensus. The discussion had 6 people (including myself) in favor of the move. 4 said oppose - But for one of them:His response was And mine was - he never cited anything specific. There were many reasons cited in a previous renaming proposal, and some had to do with how the discussion was filed, so in order for Occuli's "Oppose" to be justified he needed to cite a specific grievance, or else the "because of the previous one" makes no sense whatsoever. So this would make it 6 favor and 3 oppose. On Kbdank's talk page at Category:Theatres in the United States I discussed the matter - the closing admin referred me to DRV and said that the discussion barely resulted in no consensus and that in school 66% was failing in school. However I say there was consensus. The reasons include: Wikipedia:Consensus is mainly about how to interpret existing guidelines and policies. The relevant policies ( WP:ENGVAR and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (spelling)) clearly support the move with documentation and sources; ENGVAR says to use the most common English spelling variant of a particular country, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (spelling) states that "theater" is the most common. As indicated in the previous discussion through various U.S. universities and the Oxford English Dictionary website, theater is the preferred/primary spelling in the United States. The opposing side did not provide links to reliable, academic sources - no URLS, no page numbers of certain editions - that opposed the sources the pro side and the policies provided. Consensus also has to do with who is "right" in the discussion or which side has support from reliable sources and policies. If I need to paste the links to the academic sources I gathered which support the move, please ask and I will lay them out. -- WhisperToMe ( talk) 20:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

House clean ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( restore | cache | AfD)) The page was not a redirect page. It was an article which I started. And the spelling was not a typo. It was to help it be found. Chuck ( talk) 04:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC) The spelling was also because that is how I would spell it if I were looking for the article. I worked over a year on that article, so I think it should be kept. -- Chuck ( talk) 04:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
