Not necessarily saying the article should have been kept, but I noticed your comment {{tq|The couple of keep-leaning comments, and the sources presented by said comments, were refuted by noting their lack of independence. Alvaldi's comment at 20:08 7 January 2025 is a nice summation of this.}} I think its worth noting that Alvaldi said to ''keep'' the article on the basis that there was enough independent, in-depth sources for notability (cited <small> (2024), (2009), (2003), (2003).</small>). There were a few other sources that were non-independent that were presented, but a good number of them were actually independent. ] (]) 03:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC) |

Hi Daniel, I see you deleted the ] article. I think it's arguably notable, considering the amount of news articles and such for him. Thoughts? --] (]) 19:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC) |

:Yes I agree, but the two sentences are somewhat separate - the attempted refbombing of the debate, Alvaldi aside, were of sources that are "probably perfectly fine to use them in the article to source some facts, but as they are not independent sources so they do not help establish that the article passes WP:GNG which is needed for it not to be deleted" (to use Alvaldi's words). Josh and yourself showed a consensus that Alvaldi's sources were marginal, and Alvaldi (funnily enough, despite !voting keep) refuted the attempted refspam by KatoKungLee. Have to make this sentiment more obvious. Cheers, ] (]) 04:45, 10 January 2025 (UTC) |

Its 3am here and I was about to vote for deletion on this while typing my rationale, but I see that you've already closed it. If you think it would make a difference, I kindly request you to reopen it for a day. This XfD is very similar to ], which was taken to DRV and reopened. Subsequently, two editors were blocked. ] (]) 22:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC) |

I am not one for sending round pretty pictures, but after my recent RfA, which passed 68/1/7, I am now relaxed and this is to thank you for your comments, which I will take on board. I look forward to wielding the mop with alacrity. Or two lacrities. --''']''' (]) 21:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC) |

:], STONEX was reopened because it was closed by a non-administrator (very different reason). I'll reopen it on the basis you're about to offer a contrarian view to the close (and the closed was based off no participation), please vote ASAP as it may be closed by anyone else. Thanks, ] (]) 22:24, 14 January 2025 (UTC) |

::Thank you for reopening it. I have made my comment and hope it makes a difference. By similar, I meant that the vague votes cast by the driveby voters were similar to those in StoneX. ] (]) 22:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC) |

:::Thanks for commenting so quickly — it removes the justification for my original no consensus close (no really significant participation since the last relist), so makes it a good decision to reopen. Cheers, ] (]) 23:02, 14 January 2025 (UTC) |

::::::(ec) And I've got depression and I don't take it out on Misplaced Pages. It's not therapy. It's a project.

If you can't, leave and come back as an RTV user, but I don't recommend it. When I first left, I came back, and the first person to see me back was GlassCobra, and had to make a big deal out of it.

::::::::You are really asking for trouble making comments like that. See ] about your pathetic "Constitution" argument. And Blow of Light is far less disruptive and far more productive in mainspace compared to you, so quite frankly there is no comparison between the two. He doesn't act like you do when someone tells him that he shouldn't be doing something because of a ban implemented by community consensus, but takes on the advice. As Riana says, drop the persecution complex. ] (]) 03:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC) |

Then go to Google, Yahoo, your local newspaper. Any website that isn't here. And don't return.

Come on guys, can someone please help him find someone to adopt him? It's a little harsh following the letter of his topic ban when he just wants some help with his editing. ] 03:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC) |

:No, Ryan, he's proven himself that no matter what he does in Misplaced Pages-space, including vandal-reverting, he creates more disruption. If he wants to stand toe-to-toe with me and start spraying shit in my direction, then I'm not going to hesitate back. ] (]) 03:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC) |

:::He wants to be adopted so he can "fight" vandals, which part of the idea of the community ban was to lose this whole nonsensical "battle" complex (see the discussion which led to the ban). You don't need a coach to edit articles, in my opinion. However, if he wants to get a coach, fine, he can do it on people's user talk pages (which he is allowed to edit), but comments like the ones in this thread, , , and will just continue his problems. He doesn't want users to , yet continues to flaunt the terms of the topic ban. ] (]) 03:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC) |

::::I gave him what I think is pretty good advice about how to be more productive at Misplaced Pages. His first reply was to tell me that he was very and couldn't contribute more. After advising him to try and track down sources for articles, he replied that he was too busy to source articles. Seeing as I'm fairly certain he's a kid and not a race car driving novelist, I've pretty much written him off. He's unwilling to contribute, unwilling to find sources, and not that great at vandal fighting. I really don't know what advice a mentor would give him that I already haven't... and the drama level is just ridiculous. ] 03:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC) |

:::::That was the rationale for the community restriction — the most nonsensical part was his response to being limited to contributing to articles, which was described by him as "gnomish shit". The responses at say it all. ] (]) 03:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC) |
