Hi. I'd like to argue that the AFD's consensus is closer towards redirect/merge, than no consensus. I'd like to discuss this before considering a deletion review. Thanks. DragonZero ( Talk · Contribs) 02:51, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Joyous. So I thought the DRV was for admins only so I didn't consider contacting people from the AFD. Would it help at the DRV if I ask the people who voted for delete if they would consider changing their votes to redirect instead and linking their response there? Or should I just wait and see how this plays out. Thanks. DragonZero ( Talk · Contribs) 06:26, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Joyous. I was doing a straw vote and was told no consensus means it automatically defaults to keep. It appears I won't be allowed to redirect the page after all. DragonZero ( Talk · Contribs) 09:38, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Joyous!, Could you revert your closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darcy Isa as there was no consensus to keep and not one person was able to support their keep !vote with any sources, 2 out of the 3 keeps were more or less WP:ILIKEIT so I would kindly ask if you would revert your closure, Thanks, – Davey2010 Talk 01:53, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
FYI that it's inclusion in a rename discussion caused it's recreation by a bot.

Hi Joyous, This is regarding the deletion of Freshdesk Page. I see that you deleted the page. I mentioned my query in the deletion discussion page and i didnt get any response for that, it would have been better, if you would have replied for that and deleted this so atleast i would have got an answer for my query. Can you guide me on how the resources should be because whenever i write any articles, i take reference of other wikipedia articles . for example i took these as references, /info/en/?search=Nicole_Delien /info/en/?search=Zendesk I would like you to suggest a solution for this instead of deletion. . I would like to know which sources do you think are ok, in general, any user who is willing to contribute in wiki will depend upon the news sources considering that news sources will be reliable. I believe news published in the reliable news websites will be of proper one and generally people believe those sources are from the reputed news sources. Whenever i write any article, i always consider other wiki pages for references. Do you think are the sources mentioned in this wiki pages are reliable? /info/en/?search=Felix_Khuner in this wiki article, i see the sources are from only google. Also the same over here /info/en/?search=Aaron_and_Jordan_Kandell this article uses imdb as the sources and news websites too. /info/en/?search=Slim_Brundage here too it has only google links as sources. What would i generally suggest is, rather deleting the articles, it would be better if we fine tune and make it as the best one. This will also boost the wiki users to write more articles in a proper way and also we can have some good articles on wiki.

Hi Joyous!, I'm not sure if you're aware but there's a huge discussion at
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Deletion_process#Proposal:_AfD_with_no_participants_should_be_relisted_indefinitely.2C_not_closed.2C_until_there_is_at_least_one_other_participant and basically in short editors at the moment believe AFDs like the above (ie no !votes or little !votes) should be
WP:SOFTDELETED instead of closed as No Consensus so would you be open to overturning your close to SOFTDELETE? (there's an option I think where when you delete it you can click on something that says something like "if you want this undeleted go to
wp:refund or something to include in the log)
If you're not up for overturning I'll just renominate but thought I'd ask first :),

I merged the content from the Cheyenne Madonna article page to the author's article. I am guessing the next step is to change the page to a redirect, but I wasn't sure if there was any special messaging or {{ R to}} message for this scenario.
I also updated all the links in articles and a file summary. Since I think in all cases they also mentioned Chuculate, I just removed the links for Cheyenne Madonna. I don't know what happens with the talk page, so I left it.-- CaroleHenson (talk) 01:33, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Joyous,
It is regarding deletion of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kraftly. I can see you have marked it as advertisement and I can assure you that I have no affiliation with this company. One of the reason for this page because in recent times it got lots of press coverage from independent sources. From the sources 'newspaper' in India google don't have this source it only works with news.google.com. You can try with searching other reputed organisation with newspaper source (site:news.google.com/newspapers). I'm understanding your point that it looks like a advertisement because of history section but it is not true that it is promotional stuff and recently Govt. of India tie up with this company for promoting 'Indian Handloom'. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/kraftly-ties-up-with-the-ministry-of-textiles-to-promote-handlooms-and-empower-weavers-artisans/articleshow/55289545.cms Would love to make edits if you feel it is looking more of advertisement rather than informational piece of content. Your insights are really helpful and I'd like to make necessary changes to it. Raghavhere ( talk) 16:29, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello Joyous. Part of the process for requesting a review of a deletion decision is that the requester must first contact the person who deleted the article. Thus I am now contacting you regarding this deletion: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tom_Lonsdale_(2nd_nomination). I've looked at the discussion. I should mention that I only became aware of the discussion this month, but had I been aware of this nomination there would have been two against the deletion. My concerns with the deletion are basically twofold: 1. I don't think that those suggesting the deletion have backed up their claim with reference to the relevant sections of Wikipedia, or have cited Wikipedia policies which are demonstrably not relevant. For instance, one objector claims that Lonsdale fails both WP:ENT and WP:PROF. This is quite mystifying, given that Lonsdale is neither an entertainer nor an academic. The same objector suggests that the article fails WP:GNG, although does not point to the specific part of that policy which he/she believe that the article supposedly fails. 2. By contrast, I believe any reasonable observer would see that the article does satisfy the threshold test as set down in WP:N, and in particular item 6 'Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time'. The policy goes on to state: "sustained coverage is an indicator of notability". I think there is objective evidence of sustained coverage, in that Lonsdale has been interviewed by numerous media outlets, in a number of countries, over a number of decades. These media outlets include the ABC and established current affairs programmes. Now, it does happen to be the case that Lonsdale is a controversial character - I don't know if this is an influencing factor in the deletion claims. I'm not saying that this is necessarily the case, but I'm just flagging this. In summary, I think it is important that decisions such as deletion be based on Wikipedia policies, and that those advocating deletion should point not merely to relevant Wikipedia policies, but to the relevant parts of the policies, to support the claims to deletion. I don't think this happened in this case, and thus I think there is a strong case the deletion should be reversed. Look forward to hearing from you on this. Research17 ( talk) 01:24, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Please reverse your deletion of Gammadyne Mailer. There has not been enough time for a discussion on the deletion. No one in the current discussion has been in favor of deletion. And for what it's worth, I do not think this article should be deleted. There are many articles on software. If you think the article needs improvement, then state your opinion or improve the article yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.126.68.153 ( talk) 00:56, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

The radio morning show Dave and Chuck "The Freak" is a national show, in two different markets and also online ability to listen anywhere. Can this be undeleted? A few years ago I spent many hours and weeks editing this page with many news sources and I was hurt to see it deleted months ago. DetroitViper ( talk) 03:38, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
Hey, Dave and Chuck "The Freak" might have been irrelevant at the time of deletion but they just recently expanded their listening audience to a second market by syndicating in Boston, which expanded their listening audience to Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. If deletion is reversed I can easily add national articles right off the bat and trim out the fan service to make it more fact based and make sure everything is cited. The national expansion of their listening audience alone has to warrant some kind of probation for the page so it can be improved upon.

I've recently been reviewing a few of my deleted articles, including Kevin McClintock [1]. Since your deletion, the subject has become the youngest or one of the youngest columnists for El Nuevo Día, Puerto Rico's oldest and most influential newspaper. He's been elected national president of YDA's Hispanic Caucus, and at the age of 21 already had been a delegate to two Democratic National Conventions, an accomplishment I doubt more than a handful of Americans have achieved. I've also discovered that he appeared in the credits as an actor in a Disney made-for-TV movie, an aspect of his life that I'd not discovered before. He, along with Julio Cabral Corrada, whose article I've just updated to note his creation of Puerto Rico Rising, which has played a significant role in channeling disaster relief by mainland-based Puerto Rican millenials, are young leaders in PR that are being recognized, read and followed by their peers as well as by their elders.
My request for advice to you is, for example, in the Kevin McClintock, when is the notability separate from being the offspring of notable parents achieved to trigger me to prepare another article reflecting his subsequent accomplishments (young columnist, national leadership positions amount young politicians, etc)? I'll appreciate your guidance.

Following a
community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to
provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the
re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at
WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. —

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
I request you to recreate the page on CarryMinati. Even though he did not have a significant YouTube presence at the time of deletion, a significant amount of time has elapsed since then. Ajey Nagar aka CarryMinati has gone on to amass 6,877,983 subscribers on his primary channel and 2,108,678 subscribers on his gaming channel. More importantly though, he has been named by TIME as one of the world's top 10 'Next Generation Leaders' alongside The Weekend and Hasan Minhaj. It is in my opinion impossible to disregard such a person as the TIME magazine is highly regarded and even leaders of countries are not guaranteed a spot in one of their articles or lists.

Established
policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
