User talk:Daniel
Hello Daniel, In the Afd you stated, "the sources presented by the individual editor refuting deletion do not qualify for the GNG threshold. " May I draw your attention on the fact that there are at least two contributors who voted Keep (the second being myself). Also, I concur that bludgeoning in the page was not making it easy to read, but can you confirm that you're not referring to bludgeoning by (the same) one editor only? Regarding this issue, there are times at Afds when sources and K !votes are challenged, so that !voters are forced to insist (and the page is deleted because they haven't....) I understand there's a difference between replying and bludgeoning but when your !votes are challenged constantly and relentlessly, you can either only give up or insist, which may eventually looks like bludgeoning, I'm afraid. @Owenx, who closed as Delete. Anyway, just mentioning this issue for the record. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 11:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Removed TemplateThank you for your monitoring of my talk page and removal of a stupid template. I think that this had been a case of responding to a template with a template. I had given User:Ratnahastin a [[WP:CTOPIC}contentious topic]] alert about Sri Lanka. As you said, I was assuming good faith, but I wasn't observing collaborative behavior. As we know, Sri Lanka is a contentious topic, and this AFD was contentious, and this DRV is contentious. What this exchange illustrates is the high level of stubbornness and anger. I will comment in passing that I think that an excessive level of anger is much of what is wrong with American politics, but that is beside the point. Anyway, I think it was a revenge templating, and that it illustrates that collaborative editing has failed. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:14, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
I couldn't reply to your question since the discussion is closed. But for your clarification, neither was I the one who said 'please help me save the article by voting', nor was it related to Baalveer 4. M S Hassan (talk) 04:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello Daniel, it looks like you're experienced in Deletion review. I'm a relative Wikipedia newcomer and I'd like to request your assistance in helping me follow the process. No problem if you're already busy. Rockycape (talk) 02:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Rockycape, you have filed a deletion review at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 July 4. The process will go for 7 days, at which point another administrator will close the review. Best thing for you to do is reply to enquiries there, but be careful not to bludgeon the process with excessive (or excessively long) replies. A nice balance of brief and occasional is best. Hope this helps, Daniel (talk) 03:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
