Most of 'em need a root-and-branch rewrite first, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Deletion review question edit

Hi! I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing a piece for the signpost and came across this 2016 AFD for Margaret Nichols which you closed as delete. I believe there were a few issues with it (not your role in it) which I think merit a review by yourself and/or other admins.

  • The article was previously nominated at AFD in 2011 by User:James Cantor, whose colleagues had been criticized by Nichols in the past. There was no other support for a delete with multiple editors thinking it passed GNG and it was categorized as a USA, Sex and Gender, behavioral science, and author - related discussion.
  • The 2016 AFD was created by a sock of Cantor (discovered in 2021), was only listed under academic-related discussions, and apart from himself only received two supports.

I'm unsure if the article did pass GNG (I can't see the history) so would like your opinion on 1) whether it might have been deleted unduly and 2) what to do in that case (would you undelete it, draftify it, take it to DRV, etc).

Greetings. I don't remember if back in the day I would consider 3 or 4 delete !votes (i.e if we treat Cantor and their sock as one account) as sufficient for a deletion. The sources are her own profile and articles that quote her without delving too deep in her as a person. The deletion was 8 years ago and 3-4 delete arguments is a low number. Are there more recent sources, say biographies about her or things that discuss her in some detail? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
