Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Korea Kent Foreign School[edit]

This is a clear keep or at least a no consensus. Given the discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2017 May 7 on a very similar AfD I would ask you to reconsider your close. Thanks. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:54, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Necrothesp, I disagree that it's a clear keep or even a no consensus. I recognized that it was going to be a contentious decision no matter what that decision was, so that's the reason for my unusually wordy rationale. By all means take the decision to Deletion Review if you choose, but I don't intend to reverse it myself. Cheers, A Traintalk 10:02, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I shall do. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:46, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Korea Kent Foreign School[edit]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Korea Kent Foreign School. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:55, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No Consensus For Deletion Question[edit]

Hi, A Train. I have a question. When there is no consensus for a deletion (mostly because editors were not interested in voting), is it OK to be WP:BOLD and do something about it? I was thinking of redirecting Somos Los Otros NY to 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping, and adding a short paragraph about the organization on the main article. Somos Los Otros NY is unencyclopedic and is not notable for Wikipedia, but since this is an obscure topic in Wikipedia, few will care to have a say on it. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 19:13, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey ComputerJA, happy to help. I think it might be straining the limits of BOLD to do that unilaterally. What I'd suggest is going over to the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping talk page and proposing a merger over there. I see that both pages are relatively low traffic, but it's worth attempting to forge a rough consensus anyway. If you can convince other editors to see things your way -- or if a few days go by with no engagement, then go for it.
I'd warn you against just redirecting it straightaway, especially because you're the editor who nominated it for deletion. I know you think the article doesn't belong on Wikipedia, but it's been here for a year and a couple of more days won't be the end of the world. A Traintalk 19:32, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your suggestion. I really appreciate it. I'll give it a couple of weeks or so once I propose the merger, and see where it goes from there. Cheers, ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 19:40, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. Let me know if I can help at all. A Traintalk 21:42, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion/Mentor Llunji[edit]

I agree with the close but I wanted to mention something about the closing comment. You said: A clear consensus ...amongst the non-sock puppets. If by sock puppets you meant MSPROJECTBUREAU and Tensinet, I believe they are the same user after redirect. Did I miss something? Thanks. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:27, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I didn't realise those were the same account until I looked further into Seismic architecture, and that was after I'd closed the AfD in question. Doesn't affect the outcome. A Traintalk 16:33, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thanks. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to a dispute[edit]

I was wondering if you would help resolve a situation. On here there was a talk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:American_English#Inland_North about the inland north section being fine as is. That there was no need to tag it. Two others agree with this. And after waiting for 8 days, I decided to remove the tag. LakeKayak is now accusing me of causing and edit war over this, when it was 3 against 1 towards the view that the Inland north section was fine. Can you please help out? I feel like I should be able to remove the tag, considering it was debated with 4 users and a period of time passed (8 days) before deciding to edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zero077 (talk • contribs) 02:27, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure -- I weighed in over at the talk page. Hopefully I can help you find a resolution. A Traintalk 10:57, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Imbibe until the headache goes away.[edit]

You made a valiant effort at this DRV. The cabal decided that it doesn't follow rules it doesn't like. You made the mistake of sticking to those rules instead of bowing to the cabal. You have my respect but I'm probably not long for Wikipedia, anyway. Chris Troutman (talk) 10:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for an article that may have been deleted[edit]

You are first in line on the list of active administrators, so you win. I am looking for an article about John Schindler, author, security/counter-intelligence analyst. I almost swear I have read it in the past, but can find nothing now. I would if it was deleted and why.

Thanks. (NotHoratio (talk) 21:43, 31 May 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Hey @NotHoratio: -- is it this guy? There's no article at John Schindler, or any now-deleted old article, as far as I can see. I also checked Jon Schindler just in case, but same deal there. A Traintalk 21:51, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's him. I must have read an article about him somewhere else then. Memory issues...Thanks. (NotHoratio (talk) 21:54, 31 May 2017 (UTC))[reply]

AFD/Katharine Gorka[edit]

Hey "A," (Don't know why, but that amused me.)

I was also a tad bit confused by your comment in closing the Katharine Gorka AFD. You wrote that your wife: "often reminds me, marriage confers many benefits and responsibilities -- but notability is not among them."

Which begs the question: so your wife is notable - but you're not?? Say it ain't so, Joe! Say it ain't so! X4n6 (talk) 02:01, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is sadly so. :D A Traintalk 21:01, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Damn... well, be strong, my brother. As the saying goes, behind every notable woman is... wait, is there a saying? X4n6 (talk) 21:51, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
