I don't understand how this has ended up deleted. Since it has valid targets it needs to be either a redirect or a dab. It's been both in its history so I fail to see the justification of the speedy delete. Spinning Spark 16:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi GB fan,
if I want a redirect deleted to free up the space for an article I wrote, what is the correct procedure?

Hello GB fan, I would like to request that you please reconsider the decision not to allow for a deletion if the J Ewel page. He is emphatic that he does not want a biography on WP, and this biography was posted by a student that failed to get the proper authorization from him to do so (an important part of the class assignment). In fact, he told the student explicitly that he didn’t want a page. He contactsd me directly requesting it be deleted.
I feel that whenever possible we should try to respect the wishes of the members of our community, and this is a minor request in that the page had no more that the most basic biographical information that is available on many other sites. Please, I am asking that we do the right thing and respect his wishes. Embruna ( talk) 19:43, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi "GB Fan". The above now contains unverifiable information about a BLP, as the subject has deleted his Twitter page, which the article relied heavily on. You may delete the latest tag if you wish, as you did the last one, but please bear in mind that by doing so, you will be keeping an article that now clearly breaches WP:BLP. 2A02:C7F:7739:8700:50AD:C14F:6587:41E4 ( talk) 20:17, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Why did you decline this speedy deletion? I had made it, because the article already exists, and wanted to move the article to draft space. But the article is developed now.

Hi there, I saw that you declined the speedy delete request, however the draft clearly is a duplicate of a now-existing article. AfD is not an appropriate venue (I'm not challenging the entry, just the duplicate), so what would be the proper way to request deletion and get this thing out of the AfC backlog?

Hi there, GB fan!
I noticed you deleted my notice on the redirect page Direct wikipedia search from opera, which redirects to Opera (Web browser).
Do you have any idea for a more appropriate notice?
This redirect is purely non-sensical in my opinion, and should be deleted. Quick Quokka [talk] 19:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi there. I notice that you deleted this page because it was PRODed. In researching, I think she would easily pass WP:GNG and was wondering if you could undelete it so I could work on it. Misslin was a notable teacher. There is an obituary in Opera Wire (see Francisco Salazar (January 7, 2022). "Obituary: Renowned Teacher Patricia Misslin Dies at 81". Opera Wire. In addition to this ref, I have access to several independent sources with significant coverage where she is the primary subject, including this feature article: Kandell, Leslie (April 2002). "The Misslin Guide". Opera News. 66 (10): 10-11. and this doctoral dissertation Dufault, Jenny Elizabeth (2008). Three exemplary voice teachers: David Adams, Stephen King, & Patricia Misslin; their philosophies & studio techniques (PhD). University of Minnesota. This article, "New England Conservatory of Music Tries to Lure Top Musicians, Raise Profile". The Boston Globe. October 19, 2003., states she was a high profile voice teacher brought onto the New England Conservatory's faculty to raise the profile of the school and lure top students. Additionally, her work / philosophy as as a voice pedagogue is discussed in Susan Boddie (2021). Vocal Consistency and Artistic Freedom: Existentialism and Vocal Instruction in Higher Education. Common Ground Research Networks. ISBN 9781863352406. There are likely other articles in The Journal of Singing and American Voice Teacher which discuss her work/ impact. All together this passes wikipedia's notability guidelines. Best. 4meter4 ( talk) 04:54, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
In your edit summary you wrote- 'decline WP:G12 only applies if all versions of the article are copyright violations'. Let's go to the very first edition of the article [1] entry 13 January 1953 which in quotes says= An Eglin (AFB) F-86 Saber [sic] jet crash landed on Range 51 here today left pilot Capt. Robert G. Loomis alive but injured. The airman is in the Eglin hospital with a back injury and undetermined internal injuries.

Hello, GB fan,
You removed a PROD tag that had been replaced after being removed. The deletion rationale was that it was an unsourced BLP. I tagged it with a BLPPROD tag, I believe that this is a separate process and isn't considered a second PROD but I thought I'd check with you. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:30, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. I looked at WP:BLPPROD before I tagged that article and completely misread the Background/Nominating sections to require a reliable source, rather than just any source. Cheers, Alyo ( chat· edits) 23:25, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, GB fan,
I saw your removal of a PROD tag on this article. When I looked for an AFD/VFD discussion though, I couldn't find one. This exact scenario happened to me with another PROD, where I saw in the page history that there was an VFD so I removed the PROD tag and when an editor came to me asking to look over the deletion discussion, I couldn't find it so I ended up nominating the article for deletion at AFD. Am I looking in the wrong place? I followed the link in the original tag which directed me to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Rudyard Griffiths but there is no page there. Can you point me in the right direction so this doesn't happen to me again? They must have archived these old deletion discussions somewhere, right? Liz Read! Talk! 00:31, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, GB fan,
I passed along some thanks to you because I came across some pages where you justifiably declined to delete that were tagged for CSD speedy deletion but were mistagged. I like to see instances of CSD tag removal by an admin when the criteria don't fit the circumstances because it indicates to me an admin who is doing a careful review of the article or draft. There was a situation about 3 or 4 years ago when some admins who patrolled the CSD categories were less than thorough about evaluating tagged pages and I think the current situation is such a big improvement. If it isn't too presumtuous for me to say, thank you for being a part of that improvement! Liz Read! Talk! 02:05, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

I recently tagged 2 of @ SpamMan247’s edits for G5, which were later declined. I have behavioral evidence against this man as a MegaMack sock:
Brand new account created within a month after his previous sockpuppets (2018 McLaren 600LT and Bugs Meanie) were blocked. Obviously pirated username ( SpamMan247, Spamfighter247). Account supposedly created to help out with spam and vandalism, something MegaMack has inadvertently stated that he intends to do, for example in his edits prior to his vandalism and ban. User does not use the standard vandalism warning templates and instead leaves personalized messages instead. SpamMan247 was using doublecheck.wikiloop.org to find vandalism, and somehow managed to set up and use within 3 edits of joining. His spam fighting campaign has had the exact same WP:CIR issues as Thegameshowlad and MegaMack02’s previous socks and involved reverting several edits that were blatantly not vandalism. The account has created one article, Tirrito Cars and recreated Samsung SSC-1 (a draft page frequently targeted by 3 MegaMack02 socks) as Samsung Sports Car-1. Their edits there involved blatant recreation and adding information in the infoboxes that was added to various articles as the final edit of @ McLaren 570S before they got blocked. Looking at their contributions you'll see the same style of aggressive edit summaries against edits they deem to be vandalism (the same as Spamfighter247 and MegaMack02) and the same inconsistent use of RVV to mean revert (similar to Thegameshowlad’s previous sock Spamfighter247), rather than the much more common RV. I would like either you or @ BlueNoise to file an SPI against him. Thank you. 67.53.217.198 ( talk) 20:33, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi GB fan - thanks for helping me out with that redundant category. Unfortunately, I've made another error. The above cat should actually be Category:Registered historic parks and gardens in Swansea, including historic to match the others I've done.

The removal of my tag according to your statement: remove PROD, PROD can not be used on redirects. Do you think your contribution was productive in improving the acribi of Wikipedia? Is it better to have a fake redirect than a violation of an obscure clause that 0.1% of the editors know about? Creuzbourg ( talk) 20:23, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
PROD is only applicable to mainspace articles, lists, set indices, disambiguation pages, and files not on Commons. Proposed deletion cannot be used with redirects, user pages (except user books), drafts, templates, categories, or pages in any other namespace.
Proposed deletion cannot be used with redirects. The way to get the redirect deleted is to use the redirects for deletion process.
Hi, thanks for deleting User:Polish kurd/sandbox. Shortly after the deletion, the user recreated it with yet another hoax. While they have made some mainspace edits, they seem to be using their sandbox to create fake articles for an off-wiki game site. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 21:07, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I nominated The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism:The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy and Capitalism in Seventeenth Century North America and the Caribbean for deletion under WP:CSD R3, as I think the missing space after the colon is an implausible typo, and The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, and Capitalism in Seventeenth-Century North America and the Caribbean already exists as a redirect (with the space after the colon). You declined it as the R3 criteria does not apply. Can you explain why it doesn't apply so I don't make the same mistake again? Bennv123 ( talk) 11:39, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
