I'm a long term user (first edit 2006) and have been an admin on or off since 2007. When we first started there was so much idealism and we really had no strong policies about inclusion except a desire to have some level of sourcing. As time moved on we became more structured and around the time I became an admin in 2007 we were grappling with the concept of collapsing non notable articles into lists which I was at the forefront of as a regular afd closer and constant presence at DRV. I had a lot of patience once and for that reason was regular DRV closer for a long time after GR Berry left the project. Sadly, my patience was degraded over time and getting involved in the PORNBIO wars pretty much washed out a lot of the good faith that policy and courtesy quite rightly requires us to show. This was again a major change in our approach to content and one of the first SNGs that was deprecated in favour of a more rigid approach to proper sourcing. Since then our content in this area has become much better and we are seeing similar struggles now in the sports arena where SNGs are slowly giving way to GNG level standards.
I have always taken a very legalistic approach to closing discussions that I recognise does not fit well to the current community standard, where low participation level allowing more brigading of votes or allowing more non-policy based arguments. For this reason I'm not really closing discussions but will still happily review old closes. Otherwise I mostly review and nominate unsuitable content as a BLP is a serious matter and needs to be properly sourced.
i am willing to userfy deleted articles for improvement as long as there is a reasonable likelihood that they can be saved. If you are challenging a deletion, do you have three good sources?
Useful Links:
- Please don't leave talkback templates as I always watchlist pages when I edit and I'm perfectly capable of looking for a reply myself.
You may want to increment {{Archive basics}} to |counter= 21 as User talk:Spartaz/Archive20 is larger than the recommended 150Kb.
Please undelete my team
Hi, I'm with the Cambridge Rollerbillies, formerly the Romsey Town Rollerbillies, and we still are actually both until the stationery runs out (http://rollerbillies.com.) We got deleted In 2011 (https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Romsey_Town_Rollerbillies) apparently seven times in quick succession lol (https://en.wikipedia.org/Romsey_Town_Rollerbillies) but we were already in the UKRDA by 2011, so can we please be undeleted? Thanks love! <3 <3 xoxo DKBaps (talk) 10:17, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
- Pleaze see Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2011 October 26 . Basically, you need to find sources that meet WP:GNG and bring them to DRV for discussion. Please also read WP:COI first. Thanks. Spartaz 10:50, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
