If you are erasing a remark because you think that it will worsen existing trouble, please do not leave an edit summary that is a borderline personal attack. Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:38, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for contributing Oto-palato-digital syndrome, a requested article, which I reviewed recently. CommanderWaterford ( talk) 18:44, 2 May 2021 (UTC) |
Hi, Vaticidalprophet. I promised to come to your talk page and offer some thoughts on how AfDs are closed, and I'm here to do that.
All AfDs are controversial. If there was no controversy then the article could be deleted by prod; the fact that there's an AfD means that there's a disagreement. Therefore, with every close, there's a disappointed party. That's why every close risks attracting cross people to your talk page. You as discussion closer have to be nice to the cross people when they show up, and I'm concerned that you're finding that stressful. I see some evidence that you panic when your decisions are under scrutiny.
It's important that you minimize your stress on Wikipedia. I think there's a possibility that you might, after some more years of thoughtful contributions, be invited to accept advanced permissions on this site, and mature into one of our stronger contributors; and I think there's also a possibility that you might get drawn into a stupid argument about nothing and quit in disgust. I'd prefer the former to the latter, so I want you to close somewhat fewer discussions.
The biggest piece of advice I'd give you is not to close anything involving any editor you've ever clashed with, or any editor who you think is an idiot. (Because if you think they're an idiot, odds are they think the same about you!) Vary your topic areas. Close RfCs as well as AfDs; many RfCs are well suited to non-admin closes. And stay well clear of anything related to the politics of your native country, whatever that might be.
The best written summary of Wikipedia's actual method of discussion closing is at WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS, but there are edge cases that we've discussed at DRV over the last dozen years or so. The overall process is:- (1) The nominator makes the case for deletion; (2) Uninvolved editors roll along and look at the sources; (3) The uninvolved editors attempt to reach a consensus; and (4) The closer summarizes what the uninvolved editors have said, evaluates whether consensus has been reached, and applies our rules.
There are, indeed, times when a closer would need to look at the sources themselves. If the closer is doing that, then it's because there's a reasonable suspicion of bad faith, and that means leave it to the sysops. You're empowered to make decisions and closes that are about content, but conduct is the exclusive purview of sysops.
I think the magic of closing is in the summary you give. If that summary sets both sides' arguments in their best light, and then decides between them on some logical basis that you explicitly state in your close, then all you'll get from Deletion Review is praise, encouragement and support.
Finally: you can't win them all. Everyone including me gets their closes overturned. If you've never had any of your decisions overturned on Wikipedia, then you're not really challenging yourself. Hope this helps— S Marshall T/ C 11:41, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
On 4 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pentasomy X, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that pentasomy X, in which a girl or woman has five X chromosomes, is sometimes mistaken for Down syndrome? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pentasomy X. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Pentasomy X), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Zealot: A Book About Cults at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{ db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot ( talk) 20:17, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
Please note that I made an alteration to the hook for Tetrasomy X when I moved it into Queue 6. I remember a great fuss there was several years ago when a "first" claim was made when it was unclear which of two women was actually the first individual, in that case, to receive a horse training licence.
