== Deletion review for [[Maito Santos]] ==
[[User:Miraclepine]] has asked for a [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2020 January 3#Maito Santos|deletion review]] of [[Maito Santos]]. 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.<!-- Template:DRVNote --> —[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] 10:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

==AFD review==
You closed [[:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2020 in archosaur paleontology]] as '''Keep''' borderline [[:WP:SNOW]].
I believe that the arguments advanced and the closing decision were flawed in their logic and in the application of WP policies and guidelines. Is there a formal process when decisions on AfDs can be re-examined by uninvolved participants to determine the correctness, or otherwise of the decision? Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

* My understanding is the discussions closed as keep are discussed at [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]] just like those closed as delete. Cheers! [[User:BD2412|<span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span>]] [[User talk:BD2412|'''T''']] 00:46, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

::Thanks for that. I was just in the process of striking out my request having read the previous discussion but your quick response caused an edit conflict. The review of deletion process asks that I inform you, as the closing admin, of my decision to submit the AfD for review. Please take this thread as that notification, the formal link will come later. It may take me a few days to marshal the arguments before making the submission. I am several thousand miles from home and working on unfamiliar hardware and I realise that my arguments need to be policy based, succinct and logical and these requirements take some careful research.

== Adrian G. Duplantier ==

Hey,

I don't know if you have a way of looking into this or not, but I noticed an article for a district judge has been deleted for copyright issues, [[Adrian G. Duplantier]]. I don't know who the original editor/creator was but I was thinking about re-creating it, but didn't want to run into the same copyright issues, whatever those were. Any thoughts?

== Transwiki ==

Thanks for closing and moving [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Latin names of islands]]. There was also [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of English exonyms for Italian toponyms]] and a couple other AFD that would have the same result if it's appropriate for all of these place translation pages to be on Wiktionary. I had just prodded [[List of English exonyms for Arabic-speaking places]] before I noticed the transwiki, though [[List of French exonyms for Italian toponyms]] and others have been tagged with [[Template:Copy to Wiktionary]]. However, it appears per [[:Category:Copy to Wiktionary]] that this automatic process has ceased. What would be the appropriate process to have this carried out for these pages?

In the collapsed box on the main [[WP:MFD]] page, at the very bottom of the screen, the collapsed box is titled [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Canada]] despite it being for the above userbox MfD, and I can't figure out ''where'' the page is that is referencing that collapsed box to fix it.

== Whimbrel disambiguation ==

You have correctly disambiguated [[Whimbrel]] in the western hemisphere bird lists. However, you also changed the specific epithet. Because the cited authorities for those lists' taxonomies (mostly American Ornithological Society, some Clements) have not split the species, the specific epithet should have been kept as ''phaeopus''. Please restore. [[User:Craigthebirder|Craigthebirder]] ([[User talk:Craigthebirder|talk]]) 22:00, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
* I don't see how that can possibly be right. I'll change them back, but it seems damned odd. [[User:BD2412|<span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span>]] [[User talk:BD2412|'''T''']] 02:04, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
**Thank you. The several taxonomic authorities operate on different schedules and to a degree different philosophies. AOS is pretty conservative; they don't spit as much as Gill and Donsker (IOC). The AOS North American committee announces changes in July or early August and the South American one on an irregular basis. Clements is less conservative, but still not as split-happy as IOC; they also do an annual announcement, usually in July.

==Note re workspace talk page==
I appreciate all your help at the page [[User talk:Scottywong/Portal guideline workspace]]. I think that at this point, the last section "one closing thought," is simply detracting from the general readability of the page, since it is simply a discussion of my own recent edits, which have been reverted, as you know. So therefore, may I please suggest that we create an "archive" page for that page, and then move that section into there? I think that doing so would be appreciated by all the editors there. I would suggest to leave that section there for <s>one day,</s> a brief time period, just to allow greater transparency and to let others see it, if they wish, and then move it to an archive. I don't think it is helpful to the general readability of the page; I fully admit my own role in initiating that section, but at this point we can safely retire it. I have already added this suggestion, in that sub-section. 

I hope that's okay? Please feel free to let me know your preference. I do appreciate your helpful feedback; your constructive criticisms are something I will note. Please ping me when you reply. thanks!! --[[User:Sm8900|Sm8900]] ([[User talk:Sm8900|talk]]) 15:11, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

The article [[:Raymond Plouhar]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>Fails [[WP:BLP1E]]. Everyone dies....that certainly doesn't contribute to his notability. Being in the Marines is not notable. The ONLY thing about this guy is his appearance in the movie.</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Raymond Plouhar|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.

==Note re article==
Hi. I need your help over at [[User_talk:Scottywong/Portal_guideline_workspace]]. if you see the last comment by SmokeyJoe there, they seem to keep bringing up my name there. I would like any discussion that refers to me personally to come to some conclusion, so that we can move on, and resume discussing the core topics at that page. it seems like anything that I do there to try to resume or return things to normal only gives them another reason to bring up my user name again. so I don't wish to comment there just to keep renewing this topic.

Just to clarify, I am not comfortable with any further discussion that mentions me by name. I'm not objecting to it as a general rule; rather I am simply saying I would like to see the discussions there simply move on and get  back to the core topics. 

Any comment that I make there to bring this topic to a close would apparently have the opposite effect. You, on the other hand, are highly credible and have lots of substance  and expertise as an editor. So I'd like to ask that you please simply do whatever you wish there to bring this topic to a close. 

by the way, please note, I am not asking for any rebuttal for any of the comments there. I am simply asking for this topic to ccome to a close, so that we can simply move on. any personal comments there are something that I am not comfortable with at this point. I'm perfectly willing to engage and reply constructively to any inquiry or any coomment that anyone wishes to make. I simply feel that in regards to this specific topic, we can simply conclude it and move on. 

So if you could please make whatever brief comment you might wish to simply get the discussion there back on the core topics, I would greatly appreciate it. please note, you are welcome to ask me for any actions, approach, comment, or any other steps that you might wish me because you feel it is proper for me to do so. I am totally open to any such input. I am not trying to request any particular outcome there; I am simply asking for this subject to be closed, so that we can move on. 

can you please assist? I would greatly appreciate it. again let me know any actions steps or comments that you need from me. thanks!!! --[[User:Sm8900|Sm8900]] ([[User talk:Sm8900|talk]]) 01:57, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

::by the way I was planning to simply reply there simply by saying "point taken. good point."

== Idea for new community workspace ==

Hi. I would like to create some kind of collaborative workspace where coordinators or members of various WikiProjects would gather and provide updates and information on what is going on at each wikiproject, i.e. regarding their latest efforts, projects, and where interested editors can get involved.

You are one of the most active editor/admins here, so I wanted to get your brief input on whether you'd be interested in helping me to make this happen. I see a few possible options for making this happen, so I would like to get your input and feedback on this. which of the options below would you prefer? also, please reply to the brief questions below.

* Would you be interested in an idea of this nature? 
*If so, which option below seems most feasible to you? 
**Create a new page/talk page at the existing  WikiProject Council, where members of various WikiProject can gather to offer updates, information and ideas on the latest efforts at each of their own WikiProject, such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Town Hall]].
** Create an entirely new WikiProject with an inclusive name such as 
***[[Wikipedia:WIkiProject Town Hall]], 
***[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Bulletin Board]], 
***[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Water Cooler]]
** Create a new collaborative page or forum, but ''not'' as a new WIkiProject, i.e. with some name like 
***[[Wikipedia:Town Hall]] or 
***[[Wikipedia:Water Cooler]]
**Create a new sub-page in my own userspace, such as [[User:Sm8900/Town Hall]]
**Create a subpage at an umbrella-type WikiProject that already covers a broad topical area, such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject History/Town Hall]]

Please feel free to let me know what you think of this idea, and please let me know your preference, regarding the options above. if you do not see any need for this idea, that is totally fine.

== Sorshe Ilish ==

Hello, I saw you edited [[Sorshe Ilish]], this jingoistic editor for Bangladesh again changed the place of origin to Bangladesh, instead of Bengal. This was even stated by [[User:Huon]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sorshe_Ilish here in talk]. It is clearly a Bengali dish, however, this user Za-ari-masen on multiple article is changing Bengali dishes to Bangladeshi dishes. Others are [[Chomchom]], [[Bakarkhani]], as well as articles such as [[Kazi Nazrul Islam]] and [[Gauḍa (city)]], which are not justified. These reversals are just Bangladeshi jingoism. All these are shares by both Bangladesh and India. As noted on the talk page, but the user Za-ari-masen comes back and changes it.

Hi. I just saw your note re the drafts left by our fellow editor, colleague, and valued and cherished creative contributor to Wikipedia, [[user:Brianboulton]]. I admire your effort to put some value on the works of this individual who left such a rich legacy.

I would like you to please look at my contribs to his user space, and let me know if you are okay with my edits. I have created a page [[User:Brianboulton/drafts]] to list these drafts. then I would like to rename each numbered sandbox, using the title at the top of each one, and make them a subpage of the drafts page. there will be a list there, that anyone can easily read. 

would you like to go there, and take a look at what I set up?

== Deceased Wikipedians ==

Hi there. I saw this page today and wondered about adding someone to it. [[User:CCShade]] passed away several years ago now.  He only had a few hundred edits, but I guess that is a lot more than many people ever get? He was mostly here to work on the very same D&D monster articles that have inspired a lot of ire of late. I wrote this about him after he died, and after talking to his wife: [https://www.enworld.org/threads/eric-shade-jansing-1971-2012.325159/] The links to his online obits don't appear to work anymore, but I found new links: [https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/stltoday/obituary.aspx?pid=158059906] [http://www.tributes.com/obituary/show/Eric-S.-Jansing-93965832] [https://www.columbiatribune.com/article/20120615/Obituaries/306159690] [https://www.facebook.com/EricJansing] [https://www.columbiamissourian.com/obituaries/family_obituary/eric-scott-jansing-dec-june-of-columbia/article_1105be4e-2e6b-5e7e-ac7d-b6b3fa2f0730.html] [https://www.columbiamissourian.com/obituaries/missourian_obituary/eric-scott-jansing-loved-family-music/article_094b61ea-0ca9-57af-bd72-880b519b091c.html] I'm not sure how I would go about adding something for him, or if I even should, but I kind of want to.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Source Guide Discussion
The first [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Source guide discussions/Ghana|NPP source guide]] discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

;Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Pages Feed]].  You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at [[WP:RPATROL]].

;Discussions and Resources
*There is an [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Improving_new_article_edit_notice|ongoing discussion]] around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
*A recent discussion of whether [[Michelin star|Michelin starred]] restraunts are notable was [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_284#RFC_on_Michelin_stars_as_a_reliable_source_for_notability_of_restaurants|archived without closure]].
*A [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Resources|resource page]] with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Increasing_the_scope_of_WP%3AG5_vis-a-vis_socking.|proposal]] to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

;Refresher
[[WP:GEOLAND|Geographic regions, areas and places]] generally do not need [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of [[WP:SPAM]] for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Thanks for inviting me to the discussion, I do appreciate it, but right now it seems there is far more closed-mindedness than open-mindedness in my favorite topic area, and I have of late come to realize that I am a bit of a wiki-dinosaur whose time has passed. Not that this has changed my outlook in terms of what the encyclopedia should be able to keep, but I doubt that I can add much of anything substantive to a discussion like that, as a result.

== Speedy deletion for unused redirect [[Love, Victor]] to make room for [[Love, Victor (TV series)]] ==

Hey BD2412,

The Disney+ ''Love, Simon'' tv series has been renamed to "Love, Victor" and since that's taken by a redirect, I've moved it to [[Love, Victor (TV series)]]. However, upon looking at WhatLinksHere, it looks like "Love, Victor" has never been used as a link for [[Victor Love]]. So, it's basically an unused redirect. I'm worried it's going to cause a lot of confusion because someone has already linked to it today accidentally while trying to link to the TV show.

Since you created the redirect, I wanted to check with you first if you oppose requesting for a speedy deletion so that we can move the TV series there (without the need for disambiguation). Or even better, if you're ok with the replacement and since you're an admin... would you please proceed with the speedy deletion and move [[Love, Victor (TV series)]] -> [[Love, Victor]]. Thanks. — [[User:Starforce13|<span style="color:#39C">'''Starforce'''<sup>13</sup></span>]] 23:57, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
