- Worth noting that the original closure of List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation as delete was overturned to no consensus at DRV. (Disclosure: keep and overturn !voter, respectively) Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 21:34, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Goldsztajn: Excellent observation. Fixed, and great thanks for pointing it out. jp×g 22:01, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- "Sound and fury"? "The past isn't dead"? What is it with you people and the Faulkner references this month? At least find
a less terribleanother Southern author to borrow from, jeez. In case there's any doubt...I'm not entirely serious. Except in my antipathy for Faulkner. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:36, 28 December 2021 (UTC) - As the creator of Josh fight, your summary is very good. One correction - I created the article on the day of the event (not three days later). The discussion grew repetitive, but was otherwise surprisingly good considering the number of inexperienced users who flooded in from Reddit and TikTok.

- Lots of these are quite interesting! I'm glad Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable surviving veterans of World War II (2nd nomination) wasn't kept, as we shouldn't be writing articles we can't keep around long-term (although a redirect to List of last surviving veterans of World War II rather than a delete might've been better). {{u|Sdkb}} talk 04:31, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Loved the description of AfD "Mass killings under communist regimes (4th nomination)". JPxG you failed to mention the result decided by the panel. --Venkat TL (talk) 06:46, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- So many interesting AfD.--Vulp❯❯❯here! 09:30, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
"We live in a society"
oh my god he said the word -Gouleg🛋️ harass/hound 15:10, 31 December 2021 (UTC)- It's also possibly worth noting that the Carlsen v. Nepo G6 article probably wouldn't have set a length record if there hadn't been some procedural shenanigans. It probably would have closed boringly as keep in 7 days, but was instead early closed on SNOW grounds, brought to DRV, and relisted as not-so-lopsided-as-to-qualify for SNOW. So it stayed up for another week+ after the DRV (so ~2 weeks or so total since listing the AFD) just to make extra-sure everyone had their two cents in and there wouldn't be any more worries about the close being premature. It got lots of extra attention due to that. (Is the lesson that DRV should be more flexible for allowing early closes on articles on recent news events that grow in prominence? Or that such early closes should be avoided as counterproductive? You decide.) SnowFire (talk) 18:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
