Yes, NotButtigieg, I change my !vote to weak keep. FWIW, I think you are a volunteer for Pete and might be a law student since you seem to know it all. ;-) Bearian (talk) 16:02, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I am curious about it all, or, at least, about a lot of stuff.NotButtigieg (talk) 16:16, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Those aren't denials. By the way, NYSBA has a sale for law students. Bearian (talk) 16:21, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have a problem

I have a very serious problem that I suspect will probably need to be resolved by an admin or by the WMF office, because one of the editors concerned claims he has not read most of what I said to him and has dismissed the rest [1]. I do not know what to do next. James500 (talk) 05:53, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reaching out, James500, but I don't know how I can help you, since I'm not an admin anymore and I haven't been for four years, nor active in WP:ANI for that time. Thus I'm in no position to give any consequences to SMcCandlish, whom I haven't followed until now (nor you, for that matter). Neither am I aware of the underlying facts. You seem to be able to edit. I don't understand your problem; please clarify and be patient as I'm quite busy this week. Bearian (talk) 15:58, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also not the editor who "claims he has not read most of what [James500] said to him"; the discussion was simply (and not very usefully) taking place in my user-talk space, since I was the one to open the last ANI discussion about James500's behavior. At any rate, there's only one "very serious problem" here and it's not that other editor. James500 does know what to do next, since it was re-explained to him last night, after that ANI concluded the same thing about a year ago: drop the stick and cease tendentiously pursuing disputes in a battlegrounding manner. I warned James500 that taking histrionic and exaggeratory claims against other editors to ANI would likely result in a swift boomerang sanction, so he's instead trying to find an admin to take his side, outside of ANI examination. In short, this is noise you can safely ignore.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:37, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

PROD2 of Polonol

You wrote "this can't be stable because Polonium is a radioactive semi-metal whose chemistry is more akin to metals.". I'm not sure which detail of that is what makes it "unstable", but there are lots of compounds of radioactive isotopes, there are lots of compounds containing R–M–H ("R" being some organic unit, "M" some metal or semimetal), and being stable is not a requirement in order to merit a Wikipedia article. Let me know if you want to talk about any of those "unexpected" chemical aspects. DMacks (talk) 02:15, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DMacks, I'm not getting into a debate over your opinion of science. If a compound is so unstable due to radioactivity (the weak nuclear force in particular) and that Polonium can't form stable bonds with hydrogen (because it's a more of a metal than a semi-metal) that it can't be measured, then it can't be verified. Bearian (talk) 16:15, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
So things like polonium hydride are total hypothetical fiction that can't be measured (that is a factually multiply false statement) and therefore don't merit articles on wikipedia (that idea contradicts WP policy). I obviously agree with the idea that some things aren't even wrong, and that science isn't subject to our opinions, but science isn't limited by our understanding and wikipedia isn't limited to the science that is known or knowable in lab experiments. Decay synthesis actually relies on the transiently existing nature of radioactively unstable compounds, and a half-life of some Po isotopes is easily long enough to isolate a variety of compounds ([[ISBN:9780080578538 starting around page 224).

Deleted article: KRL Model College Kahuta

Hello, I just got back to wikipedia after some time and noticed that an article on a secondary high school has been deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KRL Model College Kahuta (2nd nomination). I believe it has the at least 7 out of 10 factors required for being a notable high school. I'm sure the deletion would have been contested if the original author had been alive, he sadly passed away back in 2015. I would like to have it recovered. Hope to hear from you soon! --Saanvel (talk) 19:05, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
