I'd like to discuss the viability of gaining consensus to begin hosting "merge reviews" in a similarly named subsection of this page; it seems like this page is best suited for such reviews, if it is determined to be a thing worth doing.
For some background, I recently discovered a page I had created was unilaterally merged to another page and converted to a redirect by the wp:bold actions of a single editor. [1] Because no notifications are triggered by such an action, any contest I might otherwise have levied would now be untimely per Wikipedia:Merging#MergeReverse where it says: "mergers can be easily reversed if a consensus against the merger is formed shortly after the merger was performed." The emphasis is mine.
To save time, I am merely asking if there are others who tentatively agree that this seems worthwhile, or; if instead: there are those who disagree, if they will explain why this wouldn't work or is otherwise a bad Idea so I may know this as well. The discussion should indicate which direction is best, from here; either endeavoring it as a proposal, or letting it go as unneeded. Thank you for considering this; I look forward to, and hope to see, all replies that may come. Best regards.-- John Cline ( talk) 03:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
Bold merge and redirects are one thing, but we also have AfDs closed as merge/redirect (like Covfefe). While not technically an admin action, these are in practice because AfD closers need to be able to delete if that's the decision. The AfD process has a sense of near finality to it, whatever the outcome. So whether it's here or at WP:MR, a well-defined appeal process is needed to enable discussion.
I'm for WP:MR as the place for two reasons. One, we unclog WP:DR. Two, it makes closing these realistic for more editors, not only admins. — Guan aco 08:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
I just submitted a request re: Draft:Bust of Cristiano Ronaldo. I am not very familiar with WP:Deletion review, so I hope I submitted the request properly. Is there a template that needs to be added to the top of the page being discussed? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 15:44, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
