Request for neutral judgment
Hi Matt. I wonder of you could take a look at Natural Stress Relief or suggest an editor who could, to see if the article is notable enough for Misplaced Pages. Because I have been involved in removing a link and information NSR added to the TM page as a spam link, and inappropriate material for the TM article, I don't feel I can be seen as a neutral editor. I'm not attached in any way, do need an outside opinion, and will be satisfied with whatever the judgement is. Many thanks.(olive (talk) 05:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC))
- I'll try to remember to get to it later tonight. Thanks. MBisanz 19:14, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- Well, it is very poorly written to begin with, more of a "how-to" style than an encyclopedia. I think it can be folded as a redirect into the main TM article for now, since the only sourcable content I can see is "NSR is a cheaper form of TM that involves repeating a silent mantra to release stress". Hope that helps. MBisanz 14:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. My thought would be to leave it for now. If we includeed every form of meditation that was somehow like or not like TM , the article would be enormous. There has been discussion on TM as well to have more science since there have been at least 450 peer reviewed studies on the technique and that would extend the article. There has been a general agreement over time to remove or limit the article to just TM not other forms of meditation .... NSR is a single mantra form very different from TM in that regard, even other "advanced techniques" taught by the TM organization have been moved into thoir own artilces, so that it is clear what the article is about. At any rate its good to have your input.(olive (talk) 15:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)_
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ned Frame
Hi. You closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ned Frame as delete. I think we all overlooked Edward Frame which was originally a redirect to Ned Frame but has been revamped as a re-creation of the deleted article. I tagged it for speedy deletion several hours ago but no-one has got round to it yet. andy (talk) 16:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

The RfA Barnstar | |
| MBisanz, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) The Helpful One 22:08, 25 November 2008 (UTC) |

ACE template
Yeah, I guess you can add my thing to the ACE template. I probably haven't thought through everything I've written that well, so the feedback would probably be good. How'd you find my page, by the way? I deliberately gave it a useless name. --JayHenry (talk) 01:47, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- LOL, people were like "Psst, there's a secret ArbCom guide. It's nuts." And you were like "Ooh, I have to find this!" As if it's a speakeasy or something :) --JayHenry (talk) 02:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Visopsys
If you undelete Visopsys I'll improve it; I know a lot about these "hobby" OSes. As you can see I just fixed up the MikeOS article and can do more so tomorrow (or today), because it's way past midnight. I've left NoKindOfName a little message too. Thanks.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Steve Waywell
Oops - looks like I was commenting, just as you were closing. As per my comment - he seems to easily meet WP:BIO, with several articles such as . Nfitz (talk) 04:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, even with your comment, it seems that consensus points at him being non-notable. I'm willing to relist it if you think that would make a great different, but I'm not sure it would change much. MBisanz 05:02, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- Can you please relist. Also in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nicolai Boilesen all the keep discussion was based on the person meeting WP:BIO however your closing statement only addresses the person failing WP:ATHLETE which no one contested. Nfitz (talk) 18:44, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- My close takes into account all of the comments relating to notability made. That one is a clear close to delete. MBisanz 19:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Arbstats done
I think User:SandyGeorgia/ArbStats is mostly done now, although I still need to ask Franamax if all Privatemusings numbers were talled from various accounts. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
DYKsuggestion
Crap. I need to remember to do edits at the dev template from now on...I still haven't quite gotten used to the fact that the regular template is actually being used by people. Anyway, I reverted back to the old version and it looks like things are fixed now (I was only able to give T:TDYK a cursory glance, though). Thank you very much for notifying me. —Politizer /contribs 07:27, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
assistence on Coolhunting page
Hi MBisanz, I'm looking over the Coolhunting page, that just recently has been discussed. I'm afraid I was too late to enter the discussion. I was looking for ways to add my view on this: that is that coolhunting is a special form of trend watching (which doesn't seem to have a page also), although some articles seem rewritten from a trendwatching.com company kind of direction. The kind of coolhunting I do in my professional work is about finding consumer mentalities. Mentalities are also somehow differently discribed. None of these three concepts seem to be linked in trend, sociologically and in the end marketing, kind of way. How could I propose the linking (the framework) of these three concepts? Apreciate your thoughts on this one. --Hvadam (talk) 23:19, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Everyme
Erm, indefinite? FYI, it's a dyn IP from a large pool and blocking such IPs for prolonged periods is rarely useful. Look. I know I am evading my block, but it's not like I'm doing or trying to do any damage, quite to the contrary. I've done some minor formatting as well, and I see no reason not to boldly ignore all rules and still do some very minor uncontroversial stuff with proper edit summaries. I'm still a reader, you know, and I correct errors as I happen upon them just like in the old days before I ever registered an account. And I contact acquaintances whom I know in advance will more than gladly tolerate me. Blocking my IP just for that appears, well, a tad vengeful, don't you think? 78.34.131.112 (talk) 00:46, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

List of fictional swords
Hi, MBisanz. Given the weight of arguments on both sides of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of fictional swords, and the complete inappropriateness of the nomination comments, I'm surprised you closed it without a word of explanation. I'm curious how you arrived at your conclusion that there was consensus for removal. Powers 14:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- It was actually a rather easier close than the page size would indicate. Most of the Keep comments centered around the nominator and his incivility. Most of the Delete comments cited things like indiscriminate list and reliable sources, etc. At the end of the day, the discussion was on the article, not the nominator, and the arguments on the article indicated deletion. MBisanz 19:05, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- I too was rather startled by your close, and I think it did not take account of the improvements to the article during the discussion. I suggest you look again at the deleted article. I'm sure you recognize that a list of things mostly having their own article cannot be called indiscriminate. I'd suggest reversing to a non-consensus. DGG (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Of the last 4 comments to the AFD, made on or after Nov 26th, three supported deletion. They were all made after any revision work had been completed. I'm just not seeing any other close, even with revisions. MBisanz 20:43, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

- IMO a Delete or No Consensus would both have been perfectly acceptable closes of this AfD. MBisanz came down on the side of delete which is well within reasonable admin discretion given the opinions expressed in the AfD. The article wasn't much improved since nomination, at best any improvement was very moderate. The article wasn't indiscriminate, very few list articles truly are, but it was far too broad a subject matter to exercise reasonable discriminate control over. RMHED (talk) 21:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- For what it is worth, I actually didn't comment in this one, because I thought the nomination was so over the top I just didn't want to dignify it. Had I commented, I would have made the following argument... Strong speedy keep as it is a discriminate list that serves a purpose. Nomination is insulting and many deletes are unsubstantiated “votes” with WP:ITSCRUFT and WP:PERNOM style of non-arguments. In this particular case, given the incivility of the nomination, deletes “per nom” all the more disturbing. Whether you think the article should be deleted or not, we have to take a stand against blatant incivility. I would never want to be party to a deletion in which the nomination attacks fellow editors and readers and I would hope no one else would either. This discussion should be speedily closed for that reason alone. Moreover, this page is for a discussion and not a vote. Three of the deletes above only have “delete” followed by a signature. Three more only have “delete” followed by “per nom,“ and the nomination has already been discredited. Other cite mere essays about “cruft”, which are not policies or guidelines. Which only leaves us with repetitive calls that it is indiscriminate, and yet we know that is not true because it has a clear discriminate criteria for inclusion. Only swords. And only fictional swords at that. And per our other policies and guidelines, as is understood, only fictional swords verified in reliable sources. As far as saying it is unsalvageable, practically everything that is not just made up nonsense is improvable, including this article. Finally, an article such as this one serves as a table of contents to other articles. Best, --A Nobody 15:00, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Blah
Sorry for two in a row, but that's what you get when you close AfDs I guess. =) In Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Blah (2nd nomination), I don't understand how you found no consensus. The arguments for keep were largely unsupported: "it's more than a dicdef" without further explanation. Did you find those arguments equally compelling as the deletion arguments? Powers 15:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- It basically came down to both sides disagreeing over the definition of WP:NOT. Both sides cited reasons, like it being a dicdef or it fitting into our category structure, and in light of the prior AFDs, it appears to be one of those articles that has a good number of people on both sides, but no clear consensus about it. MBisanz 19:11, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- I thought this was a good close. Sincerely, --A Nobody 14:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bradford elementary school
Hi, would you be good enough to take a second look at the close, please? Now that the page has been made a DMB I think that the consensus became keep (as a DMB not the original article). Also, you redirected Bradford elementary school but left Bradford Elementary School which still carries the AfD tag. TerriersFan (talk) 16:24, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

{{smallcaps}} TfD
Hi,
Sorry about that; the problem is that Twinkle doesn't note an error when it can't add a TfD tag to a fully-protected template. I've started a discussion on the talk page; any particular suggestion on how long to leave this before a re-nom? and fancy downgrading the template to semiprotection so that auto-tagging works next time? Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 16:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have no idea what that template does and would be scared to edit it. Try asking User:MZMcBride, he knows more about complex formatting and could probably add the TFD if needed. MBisanz 16:10, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- D'oh! Wrong admin! Sorry for the confusion! Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 16:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Quick q on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Carmelita Fox
I don't disagree on the deletion, it was obviously the right thing to do - but this is a likely search term and should at least be a redirect to the list of characters. Is there any problem for me creating that? --MASEM 05:03, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
