Hi Postdlf, did you intentionally keep the bundled article, High-level design? Or did you not notice it? Only one of the respondents addressed that second article, so maybe it's worth nominating it on its own to get more feedback. Sancho 23:22, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

No, that was overlooked, sorry. It's a risk with the later-added articles whenever they are not formatted the same as the initial nomination; I'll have to watch for that better. I agree that there's no clear consensus to delete that second article. Two options: 1) I could reopen the AFD and relist it; or 2) I could note in my close that there is no consensus regarding the second article and explicitly suggest a second separate AFD for it. postdlf (talk) 02:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
I like option 2. I'm still on the fence about high-level design myself. Sancho 04:11, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Done. postdlf (talk) 04:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Backstreet Boys' eighth studio album

I was the one who wrote the article, didn't start it but did write it, didn't know it was nominated for deletion because I've been away (just got back today actually). Can I get a copy of the source text? Like, the whole thing? I would've saved a copy of it if I had known it was nominated for deletion. I need it for my own personal archive. Thanks in advance.--Krystaleen 07:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

User:Krystaleen/Backstreet Boys' eighth studio album. Please tag it for speedy deletion once you have made your copy. postdlf (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Exactly the same thing happened to me with my article - highest football grounds in England. It's a useful resource, a popular pub trivia question, and I know I've actually met people who have used the page! It got deleted over a weekend, so if I don't check Wikipedia over 2 days over a weekend, a whole article gets deleted? I don't know what classifies as original research these days, but surely using publicly available data and maps isn't original research? It's a collation of existing material.

List of Syrian Civil War slogans

The result was delete but you only deleted the redirect List of Syrian Civil War propaganda slogans is still there. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out; the closing script I use didn't catch that because the page had been moved since the nomination. postdlf (talk) 15:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
