Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Newtones

I was rather confused by your closure of this AfD. I believe that considering the lack of comments the debate needs to relisted. It also doesn't exactly meet the criteria for an obvious keep. Sleaves 01:52, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy keep wouldn't apply, given the time frame (its for fast closures). It was pointless to relist a second time in my opinion. Synergy 02:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
I know it was not exactly a straightforward speedy keep. But I assumed that's how the AfD was closed. But if I'm wrong, I take that back. And I don't think second relisting is such a bad idea. I've seen it being applied pretty commonly. Sleaves 02:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
No worries. WP:NAC is more of what happened here. A second relisting could have been done, but given how long its been sitting there, with no comments, it was unlikely to have stirred up anything new. Synergy 02:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Hmm. I'd still like a reply though. Sleaves 02:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
I've been trying to reply for the past 10 minutes, edit conflicts :( --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
That was my thought. It was listed for 10 days (relisted once) with nobody but the nominator saying "delete". Relisting a second time would have been almost pointless. If it were only open for 5 days with 2 "keeps" one "weak", I would have relisted it. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, I'm not exactly passionate about it. Just thought relist was a better choice. We'd have to see what the nominator thinks of it. Sleaves 02:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I saw your non-administrative closure of Cathy Silvers AFD. According to the criteria, multiple significant roles are required. The article mentions that she's had only 1 role in 1 TV series. So according to the criteria, she didn't seem notable to me. I didn't nominate it to be mean. I nominated it because it didn't seem to meet the criteria. None of the keep comments disputed my delete reasons. Should you re-open the AFD??? Ipromise (talk) 07:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

As an admin, I would've closed it the same way. I don't think re-opening this AfD will serve any useful purpose. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

The debate was open for 5 days (minus 3 hours) and unfortunately, you were the only editor arguing for deletion. I don't think relisting it would have made a difference but if you still disagree, you can have the close reviewed. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 17:14, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Marc Burrows

Hi. I noticed you closed the discussion. Just reminding you to also remove the AfD template from the page when doing so. I've done it for you, so just a reminder for the future. Good call and continuing the merge discussion on the article talk page. Will set it up right now, if it isn't up already. -Lilac Soul 06:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Why the relist on the hoax article that nobody voted to keep?--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 00:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

When doing an initial run through the log, I quickly relist everything that lacks comment's/!votes and this discussion only had yours. (User:Download's !vote was actually posted after the relist) In this case it was probably a little too quick but fortunately, a "bad relist", unlike a bad close, is easy to fix. In this case it was just closed 'Delete by DragonflySixtyseven. I'm a lot more careful when evaluating an AFD for a close.
BTW if this hoax was blatant, couldn't it have been deleted under CSD G4? --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
G3, I think you mean. But in any case, I don't think G3 applied. G3 would be talking about Obama's years in McMurdo Sound -- obviously debunkable, since his life is well-documented. On this one, we just didn't have any evidence that supported the article, and no evidence that showed the claims were definitely false (like a list of all the musicians at the sessions he was claimed to be at). Hence, full prod or AfD required.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:23, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
