Hi. I believe you've made the wrong decision in moving Michael Cox (bishop) to Michael Cox (bishop, born 1945). The debate was still ongoing (latest contribution just today); there is at least one objection to the current title; there is also only one objection (and that's a mild one) to Michael Cox (independent bishop), which also appears to enjoy a lot of support. Please reconsider your decision. Regards, Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 12:11, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey SSTflyer, I was tagged in some comments at the bottom of the page here that were apparently intended to take part in the RM. If you don't mind, before you go forward, let me move the comments up.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The move has gone forward, so I've brought it up with the moving admin. Sorry for the trouble; I wouldn't have bothered with this except I think it will affect the outcome.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:54, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There were more than 40 !votes for delete and around a dozen for redirect but you closed it as consensus for redirect. Seriously? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 12:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not consider my closure to be inappropriate. "Delete" and "redirect" votes are generally considered to be equivalent in deletion discussions, unless editors specifically recommend not to keep the article history, which is not the case here. I think I have adequately explained my "redirect" closure at the AfD page. Some editors may want to recreate this article when it gains notability. Keeping the article history accessible to non-admins would allow these editors to have something to work with, instead of starting from scratch. Even if this article, together with its history, were deleted, its title would likely be recreated as a redirect. If you want this redirected article, together with its history, to be deleted, WP:RFD is the correct venue. If you want to challenge my closure, you may take it to WP:DRV. Thanks, SSTflyer 13:17, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that it was an obvious, overwhelming delete. And you never addressed that fact. Which causes me to wonder why. Hence my comments here. I have no intention or desire to to anything about your close, I merely wanted an explanation for how you closed it and why in the face of what was a very obvious, different outcome. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:09, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have already explained why I closed this as "redirect" instead of "delete". It is typical to close AfD discussions where there are numerically more "delete" than "redirect" votes as redirect. As long as the user (registered or not) does not specifically view the history of the redirect, deleting an article (together with its history) and redirecting it to a different target has the same effect. In this case, redirecting instead of deleting the article is desired, since this allows the article history to be preserved for interested editors, and there is no benefit (think WP:RD2) to delete the history. I have already suggested other venues such as WP:RFD and WP:DRV, and you refused. If you don't accept my explanation, then don't. Different editors naturally have different opinions, and I don't care. Thanks, SSTflyer 14:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you being so combative? I asked why, you answered, I commented further stating I disagree with your conclusion, but I stated clearly I have no intention of challenging the close. You don't need to be hostile about it all. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:42, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Winkelvi:You disagreed with the conclusion, but you haven't really said why. What harm is the redirect doing, that requires this article to be fully deleted with no history preserved?  — Amakuru (talk) 16:27, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My comments in the OP described why. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:59, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just saying but I agree with the closure here as the redirect doesn't appear to cause any issues. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:42, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I was actually very impressed by how the AfD was closed. The consensus was that an article on Prince's death is not currently needed. A redirect achieves the same effect, while sending readers to the relevant subsection in Prince's article. Retaining the article history doesn't harm anyone, as the consensus was not that it was poorly written. Kurtis ^(talk) 12:27, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So I was looking up websites to figure out logos for a future project and when I looked up Kotaku I was KotakuInAction popping up. Clicking on it, it redirected to the GamerGate article. Since you were the one that made the redirect, I gotta ask why? I get it has to do with GamerGate but I personally don't think the redirect is necessary. GamerPro64 23:33, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned in the GamerGate article. I can't see it causing any harm. SSTflyer 00:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I guess. Just thought it was weird seeing it when typing in for Kotaku. GamerPro64 00:10, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have a problem with AWB at the moment and are creating lots of empty articles that appear as though they should be redirects. noq (talk) 12:21, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I now see the cause of this problem. The CSV loader does not recognize non-ASCII characters, and is therefore creating redirects to non-existent pages. SSTflyer 12:27, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested G7 deletion for these problematic redirects, because they have no plausible alternative target. SSTflyer 12:31, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Out of interest, why are you creating large numbers of (last name) and (family name) redirects where the primary topic is already that? What purpose to those redirects serve? Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Readers searching for a surname or for a specific person with that surname may not know the disambiguator used for a surname article. Creating multiple redirects using alternative disambiguation qualifiers allows a reader who may be typing e.g. Wilson (last name) to reach the desired article. SSTflyer 13:15, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's still a problem with AWB -- it looks like you're creating a large number of pages that are "List of people name XYZ" -- most with one link? Michael ^(talk) 11:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With seven people 'voting' to keep and seven to delete or merge and the two sides not agreeing on the application and applicability of the WP:GNG, how have we arrived at a 'keep' consensus? Izkala (talk) 19:30, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Generally speaking, I have found the keep arguments to be stronger. Most keep voters have demonstrated how the topic is notable, while most delete or merge arguments simply said that the topic does not warrant a separate argument without explaining why. SSTflyer 00:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks. Izkala (talk) 00:14, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SSTflyer, how's things? I'm a little curious about all the "List of people named (First) (Last)" - is that something people will commonly search, and how does the redirect help? Happy editing! -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 16:53, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a plausible search term, and their creations would be useful. All these creations should survive WP:RFD discussions. SSTflyer 16:54, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's fair enough, though personally I would imagine people might search more along the lines of people named (First) (Last)? Anyway, keep up the great work, I see you around a lot over the 'pedia -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 16:56, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello SSTflyer,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of people named Emperor Maximilian for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Theother51 (talk) 09:13, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
