Article for Deletion versus Merge
You recently posted a Article for Deletion (AfD) request for several pages such as Ruitapu, however in the AfD you suggest merging not deleting. The AfD system is not intended for merger discussions. Instead you should follow the directions at Merging, Help:Merging and Help:Merging_and_moving_pages to merge the pages. In short, the proces is something similar to:
 * 1) Start a new discussion on the target articles talk page.
 * 2) Tag the origin article with {{Merge from|

Lacking very basic sense

 * Permanent link

Forget about your failure to grasp that "advanced permissions" relates to those rights on the left side (like the sysop flag), not the rights on the right (like "rollbacker") — how do you even end up making such a tone-death request at the day that her death is announced? And would you not expect the multiple admins around to already be on top of anything necessary, to begin with? And what sort of damage do you even think an account by a deceased editor (forget that they are globally locked, anyway, so as to render to whole thing moot) is likely to do with rollbacker enabled?

Your request is just so utterly bizarre to me, I'm really struggling to comprehend your reasoning there. Well, it's obviously quite poor reasoning, at any event. To that: you should probably stay away from anything remotely tragic in the future, because the highly insensitive nature of your request, to me, demonstrates that on an important level, you lack very basic sense.

And all of that is with WP:AGF stretched to its very limits. Please do better. El_C 11:08, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I am requesting it as there're a number of similar previous cases, e.g. 1, 2, 3. Probably we need a RfC for this in general.--GZWDer (talk) 11:18, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What are you going on about? Who even cares about any of that? What possible utility does that have, in any possible sense? El_C 11:21, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Before this edit (where I did not find a discussion), WP:DWG explicitly including "rollbacker" as a right to be removed from deceased user (then it is still not a common practice to global lock the accounts). In my opinion when a user is deceased, we should remove all user rights, to reduce maintanence burden. I have previously successfully request it three times.--GZWDer (talk) 11:27, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What "maintanence burden" can there possibly be? Totally besides the point, anyway. Your timing was just awful . How are you still not getting that? Please avoid from now on having anything to do with the procedures involved in the maintenance of accounts belonging to deceased editors. Because, to me, you are very obviously not equipped to do so. So just don't. El_C 11:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If I might butt in here GZWDer - I believe you are trying to do the right thing here, but a lot of people are extremely upset by the announcement of Flyer's death, and the suggestion of removing rollback is perhaps particularly sensitive (but there's no reason you would be aware of that). I am in complete agreement with El C that removing the perm would serve no purpose - there's no maintenance necessary in allowing it to remain, and it poses no risk to the project. I think it would be best just to leave this where it is. Girth Summit  (blether)  11:40, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have started a discussion at Village pump (policy).--GZWDer (talk) 11:44, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

, I don't understand — no reason [they] would be aware of that. In what sense? They are a human being, so they should have a grasp of the loss and mourning associated with death, should they not? No, this softly-softly approach is a mistake here. A sobering reality check is what's called for. GZWDer, did I not just tell you to avoid the topic? What do you not understand about that? Go.Do.Something.Else. El_C 11:48, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * To prevent flaming of the issue I will not comment further.--GZWDer (talk) 11:51, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I would think... Because I'm just about ready to block you for disruption. El_C 11:52, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
