- Following the closure of the Iranian politics case, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
- The Arbitration Committee encourages uninvolved administrators to use the discretionary sanctions procedure in topic areas where it is authorised to facilitate consensus in RfCs. This includes, but is not limited to, enforcing sectioned comments, word/diff limits and moratoriums on a particular topic from being brought in an RfC for up to a year.
Miscellaneous

RfD
Hi Pete - hope you are well. For info, I've logged 2027 Cricket World Cup at RfD (here), after yet another re-creation following the recent AfD. Don't know if WP:NOTBURO can apply here to speedy it, or indeed if WP:INVOLVED comes into play! Anyway, thought I'd drop you a note. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:44, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
The article Deso Kalvin has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No evidence of actual notability. The Seychelles are a minor cricket country, and playing for the national team doesn't seem to generate the necessary coverage to meet WP:GNG. Listed as part of the team[1] but no significant coverage, and other sources are only databases or lists, nothing really substantial about him[2].
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Deso Kalvin for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deso Kalvin until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
