Hello, Ncfriend. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Justingen, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
DRV
editHi Ncfriend, I've removed the DRV because you wanted the article deleted .... and I closed the AFD 2 years ago as keep so my closure wasn't controversial nor incorrect,
If you want to renominate the article for deletion please see WP:AFD - DRV is for when editor disagrees with the closure ..... inshort it's too late to disagree with a 2 year old closure..., Thank you. –Davey2010Talk 14:11, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Ncfriend. I've removed both your notices about attempted deletion review from the article and it's talk page for the reasons above and because there's been no discussion about the matter. I've commented on the talk page, creating a section for such a discussion if you want to start there. --Ronz (talk) 15:27, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ncfriend. I have removed the two {{done}} tags you placed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure. Your first comment here at Talk:Vaccine ("Closing the merge, as it has been a month without additional comment, and it seems the majority is opposing - if I am doing this wrong please inform me immediately") indicates that you are basing your close on a vote count ("it seems the majority is opposing") instead of assessing the Wikipedia:Consensus, the strength of arguments based on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
You then wrote, "Er, it was already merged, closing as it has been merged" and struck out your earlier post. If the consensus is against a merge based on strength of arguments (or if there is no consensus for a merge done in the middle of the discussion), then the close should be "no consensus to merge" or "consensus is against a merge" and the merge should be undone.
Your close here at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources also did not demonstrate an analysis of the arguments ("Closed to opposition consensus").
I recommend reviewing past RfC closes at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure/Archive 24 to observe they have been done.
For examples of strong closes, I recommend reviewing closes by experienced active WP:ANRFC closers like Slakr (talk · contribs) (1, 2, and 3), Snuge purveyor (talk · contribs) (1, 2, and 3), Mz7 (talk · contribs) (1 and 2), Tazerdadog (talk · contribs) (1), Eggishorn (talk · contribs) (1), Primefac (talk · contribs) (1), and S Marshall (talk · contribs) (User:S Marshall/RfC close log). These editors all do an excellent job of explaining how they assessed the consensus in the discussions. They discuss the different arguments advanced by editors in the discussion and assess the arguments' strengths based on Wikipedia policies and guidelines. They explain the scope of their closes and provide suggestions about further discussions that can be had.
I hope this helps. WP:ANRFC always needs more closers, so I hope you observe how consensus is being closed and then start participating in assessing consensus in discussions. When closing discussions, feel free to ask me questions if you have any, or feel free to post at Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure to ask the community of closers for their opinions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Big Bill Hell's Cars
editHello Ncfriend,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Big Bill Hell's Cars for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Article of the month, by Jason Rees History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees. Storm of the month and other tropical activity Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.
New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter in April 2019 More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned. To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions! Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome. I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons! Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!
