Looks like it to me. AfD is redlinked but it is transcluded to whichever delsorts the editor used (saw it in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Journalism). Admins/whoever-can-and-knows-how-to-fix-it-without-breaking-anything probably should. Thanks! Usedtobecool ^TALK ✨ 09:58, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

A list of affected pages can be generated by going to Special:WhatLinksHere and inputting Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dick Oliver in the search box. I removed the afd from most of them but I don't know if that even makes any sense; bots should be able to do the clean-up. I'll leave the help request open just in case. 78.28.45.145 (talk) 16:07, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

The page was wrongly deleted under speedy deletion criterion G7, which applies only to pages with one author and no significant contributions from any other editor, which did not apply in this case. I have restored the page, and I shall look into whether the removed links should be restored. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 20:39, 5 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
JBW, ah, ok, thanks a bunch. Yet another reminder to not forget AGF just because the username is crossed off by some script. My sincerest apologies to User:BigDwiki. My thanks to the very resourceful IP 78.28.45.145 as well. Usedtobecool ^TALK ✨ 20:55, 5 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Since the AfD is back online, I've restored the links. 78.28.45.145 (talk) 21:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
