Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Delaney presidential campaign, 2020

How could you look at this AfD and think that there was a policy-based consensus to "keep"?  Can you yourself state a policy-based "Keep" argument?  Unscintillating (talk) 13:05, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

I am Ridhi Mehra and just published an article about my label "Ridhi Mehra". I have been in this space for a long time and have added all my information.

Kindly help in setting up this page.

Difference between speedy keep and snow keep

Hi. I'm not sure you should have closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017 North Korea crisis as a "speedy keep." As WP:SK#NOT specifically cautions against, you seem to have confused WP:SNOW with a speedy keep rationale. The nomination met none of criteria in WP:SKCRIT. I'm pinging the nominator @Shirt58: in case he wishes to weigh in, but as someone else who also attempts non-admin closes, I wanted to flag this, as we need to make sure we don't misuse our ability as non-admins to close Afds early. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:25, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks @Shirt58: in case he wishes to weigh in, but as someone else who also attempts non-admin closes, I wanted to flag this, as we need to make sure we don't misuse our ability as non-admins to close Afds early. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:25, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks @Shawn in Montreal:. I said my piece at the AFD. Vox populi, vox dei: it was clear that I took a far too narrow view about the article title. I have no problems with the close, and I think the nominator - ie: me - should be censured for their lack of clear thinking. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 12:46, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

New stub types

Hello! While I appreciate your efforts in creating stub-class articles about films, before creating new stub categories and templates, please follow the procedures at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. Stub categories should not be created, unless there are at least 60 articles for a particular template, and new templates are usually unnecessary, if one already exists in the same genre. So instead of creating new ones for just one or two articles, please check the List of stub types, or under Category:Stub categories, to make sure that your proposed new stub does not already exist. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 19:07, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
