Mechanical heads

Hi Richard,

I only changed to broadhead because of the common saying when speaking about them. Honestly, I've always heard the term broadhead. This page below has what you said up top and what I said in the pictures, lol. I won't go near it anymore. https://slicktrickbroadheads.com/collections/mechanical-heads

Good meeting you. Bringingthewood ( talk) 04:36, 16 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Deletion reviews.

Sorry, but it is not fair on the countless Welsh history enthusiasts who want to read about the King of Wales and the Royal House of Aberffraw to have all the work in the articles deleted overnight. Hopefully we can settle on a rewrite for both articles involving adequate sourcing like before. Here is the deletion review:

Deletion review for House of Aberffraw

An editor has asked for a deletion review of House of Aberffraw. 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. Cltjames ( talk) 14:51, 14 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Cltjames Tbh, I am not sure how I ended up watching this page, but here I am. I think you have misunderstood process here. There is no deletion review, as what has been carried out is WP:BLAR. You can object to this simply by reverting the redirect, but should bear in mind that Richard's next step would then, almost certainly be to send this to AfD. AfD could reach a consensus to keep the article if sufficient reliable secondary sources exist, but equally it could reach a consensus to delete it entirely. As a blank and redirect, all your edits are preserved in the page history, and you can make use of them as you wish in other fora or in your own writing. I would suggest at least considering whether you could defend an AfD before reverting the BLAR. Your next step is up to you. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 15:16, 14 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Ok thank you @ Sirfurboy:, Richard, why didn't you simply do a deletion request first? The natural process of this article correction was not a deletion but a rewrite. I do not want an edit-war, we need to find a long-term solution, I thought that you being a Barnstar Wikipedia enthusiast would have a better conclusion than delete and redirect. If you wanted to get involved in the House of Aberffraw, you could have contributed as you did with the King of Wales article. Besides, I think history speaks for itself... You cannot delete history, the House of Aberffraw was a royal dynasty which should be respected and revered. The article was not biased but did have old sources which could have been a WP:OR, WP:RS, but is it worth costing a decade's work? The article can easily be rewritten, cropped, and downsized like House of Gwynedd. What do you say? Could you contribute to a rewrite, please ?? Cltjames ( talk) 15:47, 14 September 2023 (UTC) reply
