AfD - Dizzy diddy
I am still kind of new to AfD discussions but are the editors (specifically of self-created, self interest articles) of an article up for discussion on a current AfD page allowed to comment with regard to consensus for deletion/non-deletion? (see latest response from Also unrelated, but FYI, your "leave me a message button" directs to Joshy4u.   Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  Talk   17:45, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello Chrissymad, First of all thanks for the message regarding the error on message option, anyway I corrected it with my JackTracker username. As regarding your question the creator have the rights to express their comments, but the wait-age will be low and also their comment willn't be taken into effect if the majority of voting is for Deletion and if the creator cannot explain why the article should be encyclopedic. JackTracker (talk) 17:55, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, they are. If the editor is a single-purpose account that may be noted in the discussion, though if they make convincing policy-based arguments those will be taken into account. "Majority" has no bearing on an AfD, JackTracker, the important factor is policy-based consensus (which rarely includes IAR, but that should be explained well). If 60% say delete and 40% say keep, but the delete votes have reasoning not based on Wikipedia policies or guidelines, it probably won't be deleted - perhaps no consensus or keep.

CSD
Please be careful about G11, as it is really only when an article is strictly promotional. BW Vista and BW Residences are not overly promotional and do not require a fundamental rewrite to be fixed. Appable (talk) 18:51, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion nomination of Flying Chalks
Hello JackTracker. Speedy deletion work is important and I do appreciate the effort. I would just ask that you please review the criteria carefully because accuracy is also important. On that issue, I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of Flying Chalks as an article that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the topic under CSD A7. That criterion did not apply because even though the article's prose did not appear to indicate "importance or significance", it contained citations to apparent secondary sources that are commonly recognized as reliable. This is implicitly considered to meet the "importance or significance" indication standard, because the existence of such sources (discussing the subject in detail) is a chief basis we use to assess whether a topic meets the higher standard of notability, on the merits at a discussion process such as AfD. G11 also did not apply because although the page did have some promotional sounding text, it was far from "exclusively promotional", nor would it need to be "fundamentally rewritten" to become encyclopaedic.

 * First place – $200
 * Second & Third place – $50 each
 * Category prizes – $25 per category (which will be limited to FA, FL, FP, GA, and DYK for 2017). Winning a category prize does not require making it to the final round.

Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address.

Why is my article deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nord1212 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello Nord1212, The article doesn't indicates why it should be encyclopedic also the article fails the notability. JackTracker (talk) 18:10, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

You had sent a notice on the deletion of my page Sri Sri Guruji Maharshi as you could find only one person named Sri Sri Ravishankar. Sri is a common title addressed similar to Mr. Guruji Maharshi is a real person from Bangalore, India who is a spiritual leader and the article is not used for any promotional purposes.
