Article History purged after redirect by
User:The_Bushranger on G7 grounds upon
User:Waggers request, but Waggers does not appear to have created the page, nor could I find any history of him making this request on the AfD,
User_talk:The_Bushranger,
User_talk:Waggers, nor their contrib histories
Special:Contributions/Waggers,
Special:Contributions/The_Bushranger. On the otherhand, I did find a notification of deletion from DBigXRay at
User_talk:Geo_Swan, which is a common courtesy provided to the creators of an article under AfD. The Bushranger was not contacted due to my concern that he may continue to engage in this behavior without admin oversight.

- Most of the time, a G7 request won't be on an afd or user talk page, but a db-g7 tag on the article itself. The google cache (linked in the drv header above) shows that this is the case here, and that it was requested by Geo Swan, not The Bushranger.

- "The Bushranger was not contacted due to my concern that he may continue to engage in this behavior without admin oversight.". Well I'm not sure what concern you have, someone did an action (or in this case didn't) which I disagree with, therefore they must be a bad person who must be stopped, so much so that I won't afford them basic courtesy of talking to them. Heard of
assume good faith? As per normal DRV practice "Listings which attack other editors, cast aspersions, or make accusations of bias, or where nominators do any of these things in the debate, may be speedily closed." and since there seems to actually be no real problem here, I suggest this be closed.

- Could someone who can see the history please confirm that it was Geo Swan who added the db-g7 tag? If so, then this DRV can presumably be speedily closed. If not, then there's a muddle of some kind that does lie within DRV's purview.—

- I did start
Muhammed Qasim. As many long time contributors know, I started most of the articles on Guantanamo. Did I request a {{
db-g7}} on it? I honestly don't remember requesting a {{
db-g7}} -- although it is possible I might have.
How can I have forgotten a {{
db-g7}} request of less than a week ago? I'm sorry, but one particular persistent contributor has been nominating articles I started for deletion at a pace for more rapid than I can meaningfully respond to. Franky, it has left me rattled. Two of the articles the persistent nominator recently nominated for deletion I realized actually described a single individual -- but under different names, based on different references. I don't remember requesting a g7 on one of those articles -- although that is a reasonable thing to have done. Both of those articles that it turned out described a single individual, described a Moroccan, repatriated to Morocco in early 2004. I just checked. Muhammed Qasim is an Afghan, repatriated to Afghanistan in 2007. So, if I placed a {{
db-g7}} I must have been rattled by the tendetious efforts of this persistent nominator, and placed it on the wrong article.

- The article was deleted by Waggers following the placement of the DB-G7 tag by Geo Swan in
this edit, where he placed a db-author tag on the article. I did not "purge the article history" - that happened when Waggers deleted the article; all I did was procedurally close the AfD as the article was already deleted. Given that this appears to have been a misclick on Geo's part, I'll happily undelete the article and unclose the AfD to let it run out. -
