User talk:Awesome Aasim/Archive 19

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kanye West (2nd nomination)
Hello Awesome Aasim. I am just letting you know that I deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kanye West (2nd nomination), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which didn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:02, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Well, the creator voted deleted in the XfD, but it doesn't matter... Anyway, thanks @Ivanvector!
 * P.S. is your username a pun on the Eigenvector? Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 16:06, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I wanted this one to be explicitly noted as an attack page, because that's what it was, and it's not forgivable for being a "joke". G7 would allow recreation of the page, and besides it was probably not eligible because the page creator also has to be the sole contributor but many people commented on the discussion. And also yes, my username is a pun on eigenvectors! You may be the first editor to get that. It's an old inside joke from when I was in engineering school many many years ago and I don't really remember why now. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Your closure of Alphonso II RM
I believe your closure of the discussion at Talk:Alfonso_XII was incorrect. It is inappropriate to frame the discussion as a tension between "a guideline" and "policies" and therefore give equal or more weight to the latter, when the opponents did not provide almost any justification why those titles should be an exception to NCROY. Rather, the WP:NCROY "guideline" itself is a balance of CRITERIA, based on a broad editorial consensus that CONSISTENCY should be given more weight in naming of royals, as affirmed in Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)/Archive 24 RFC (which I implore you to re-read). Please reconsider your close, or consider relisting the discussion. Thank you. No such user (talk) 10:17, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll revert such close. Although I am not sure if it will elicit more discussion. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 13:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Request for edits
Hi. An IP user merged release histories to the page windows 10 version history. Unfortunately, another user has protected the page and I cannot revert its edits. Can U revert them for me please?197.238.82.68 (talk) 19:20, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Consider it ✅. Other users should discuss on the talk page how the page should be organized and/or split. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 19:37, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep up the good work!197.238.82.68 (talk) 19:40, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Unfriendly user
Hello. I have made a request @ requests for page protection/Decrease. However, I have received a response (make that two now) from a user who, I guess, did not understand my points, not to mention that response was unfavorable. What to do now?197.238.82.68 (talk) 22:03, 6 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree that we do not need to drop these titles' protection at this time. I think seeking consensus for splitting by time period would be the next logical step. You can try asking on the talk page of Talk:Windows 10 version history. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 22:41, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * , according to a policy, redirects are protected because the target page is protected. Those redirects would have been unprotected if hadn't protected the page. Am I right? But my concern is those redirects are indefinitely protected while the target page is temporarily protected which is sort of mind-blowing. My point is, "when the protection expires for the target page, protection is not expiring for the redirects".197.238.82.68 (talk) 22:50, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Which policy? Also, this isn't a counterargument to protection for other reasons anyway. Is there a specific edit you'd like to make and which is now prevented by the protection?
 * While it wasn't me who protected these redirects, I do sometimes protect redirects indefinitely. I do so independently of the target page's protection status, and my protection summary usually reads like "Feel free to unprotect without asking, if this ever legitimately becomes something else than a redirect". This is because some redirects are less likely to be edited legitimately than actual articles, and protecting these redirects is more reasonable than protecting the target page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * To add on to @ToBeFree we only protect pages that are at moderate to high risk of vandalism or other disruptive editing. Certain redirects, for example, are protected because some editors have attempted disruptive splits without consensus, or have attempted expanding a non-notable topic. Also indefinite does not mean infinite, and if you were to use the to get the redirect changed or expanded, satisfying all Wikipedia policies like Notability and Verifiability, it is likely that not only would the redirect be replaced but the page would be unprotected. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 02:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I know those redirects were not protected by any of U. Rather, they were protected by and . But per Aasim's points, such page creations were made unsuccessfully, resulting them as redirects. Any thoughts on nominating both of those redirects for deletion? Because they are no longer notable nowadays.197.238.82.68 (talk) 02:42, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * May I ask which redirects are you referring to? SportsFan007 (talk) 03:41, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * They were first protected by by moves and then one of them had its protection settings duplicated from a draft by . BTW, during that time, the target page was protected by .197.238.82.68 (talk) 04:19, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Courtesy ping @SportsFan007 and @Nnadigoodluck. @197.238.82.68 editing comments to include mentions will not add the mentions right back in.

Comment on content, not contributors
You should probably stick to commenting on content, not contributors, especially on things like closing XFD's. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:43, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * While I don't see at all how the close statement was a personally attack, 1. It hasn't been 7 days and there clearly are some people who agree, so SNOW doesn't apply 2. The second sentence make it feel like a supervote. Locke, I think you might be a bit overreactive, especially when you have made an egregious attack you still haven't struck. Aaron Liu (talk) 19:17, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Citing WP:SNOW and WP:BLUDGEON is not a personal attack. All I said is let the RfC finish first before you decide what to do with that redirect. There is also strong consensus to keep; and having the discussion open any longer is not going to change that. Lastly, since you are WP:INVOLVED it is not a good idea to revert this close unless if it is a blatant — that is, no other editor would disagree — misinterpretation of consensus. If you feel strongly as to objecting to an early close, you are welcome to raise your concerns here, but there needs to be better arguments than "I don't like it". Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 21:29, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, There are enough supporters to remove SNOW as an option, so I disagree with this close since it's too early. New arguments could still come to light. Aaron Liu (talk) 22:39, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Aaron Liu I'll leave it open then, but I don't think the actions surrounding the close reversal by the OP were the most appropriate. If the OP and others were to have asked and given convincing reasons why an early close was unwarranted I would have reconsidered the close, maybe even reverted it, and, failing that, WP:DRV exists. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 22:55, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:SNOW wasn't the problem, citing WP:BLUDGEON was. There were a number of very tenured editors completely tossing WP:AGF out the window there to make personal attacks, and your closure enabled them. Had you stuck with SNOW, while I'd have disagreed as Aaron did, I'd have left it alone. As I said in my initial message: comment on content, not the contributor. —Locke Cole • t • c 00:14, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure. Maybe there should be a reminder in BLUDGEON that this doesn't apply to replying with different arguments. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * To falsely accuse someone of bludgeoning is considered incivil, and should be avoided. WP:BLUDGEON
 * Well, making false accusations anyway is considered incivil. Calling someone a disruptive editor or vandal or whatnot detracts from WP:AGF and the idea that we are all here to build a project. Similarly, calling someone "incompetent" is also incivil.
 * One can reasonably remind people of interpretations like WP:BLUDGEON and WP:CIR without violating WP:CIVILITY. I probably should have given more detail into why consensus believes this essay applies. And taking a second look, I can see that bludgeon might be the least of editor's worries.
 * Anyway, the discussion is open again, and any uninvolved editor may be welcome to take a second look at come to a conclusion. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 00:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Prolonged disagreement
Good day,. I left an edit request and despite my efforts convincing users that they are best for page reduction without any visual changes, users continued to reject my proposal. Pls help!197.238.159.62 (talk)
