User:Spirit of Eagle/July to December, 2015

Regarding the archive of my talk page.

Hello, my talk page is not being archived although I have tried several times. Could you tell me what is wrong or you yourself can fix it. I have no problem. I want it to be archived after the talks have been there for more than three months according to the dates. Please help me. Archiving can be done in 1 2 3 way. It would be great if I get it sorted out. Hoping for you reply. Cheers!!! Sammanhumagaint@lk 05:28, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

I looked through your archive box, and I wasn't able to spot an immediate problem. Try leaving a comment at User talk:Misza13, the bot who is set to archive your page. I'm not really going to be able to offer much help since I perform all of my archivals manually, but the person who runs the bot should have a pretty good idea of whats gone wrong.

Erroneous redirect?

Hi Spirit of Eagle, I was about about to take a redirect you created to RfD, but it looks like the whole thing may be an error. It's Bulbapedia 3, which seems not to have existed until you created it when closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulbapedia 3. But that was the 3rd nomination for deletion of Bulbapedia, not a page called "Bulbapedia". Would it be appropriate for me to delete this under CSD G6 or G7? --BDD (talk) 18:36, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

I just nominated the redirect for speedy deletion per G7. Its an implausible search term and its creation was entirely accidental. Thanks for pointing this error out.Spirit of Eagle (talk) 22:17, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Point Valid

I understand that I have a special interested in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Point_Valid, but I think there was no reason to relist this article a second time. I think the Afd can safely be closed as "keep" or at least "no consensus to delete". Debresser (talk) 12:52, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

This strikes me as a very borderline article. While there are 14 sources, a number of them are not reliable such as the YouTube and Myspace sources and the nominators claims are relatively strong. While the keeps outnumber the deletes, I felt like more community input would be needed before closing to get a more definitive answer. Except in exceptional circumstances, AfDs are only supposed to be relisted a maximum of two times, so the AfD is not going to be open much longer. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 16:36, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
I appreciate your reply. I now understand why you relisted this article again, and appreciate your conscientiousness. Debresser (talk) 17:56, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Can we wait for some admin to close it? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:17, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

I closed the article as keep since there was consensus and policy based reasons to do so, and I don't imagine an admin would have closed it any differently. If you disagree with the closure, you can list it at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 18:08, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar
Right back at you! You were instrumental in supporting the discussions in its early stages, approaching the opposition with an open-minded outlook for compromise, and your bold action of merging my draft and Jakob's was the catalyst for the final product we see on the Main Page today. It's difficult to speculate what would've occurred without your contributions, but I think there's a good chance we might not even have a logo.

Therefore, in the spirit of the milestone, thank you. Both for the great things you do for this project, and for the barnstar. See you around, Mz7 (talk) 17:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
