BarCamp: "No consensus"?
↔ Query

Thanks for your note. The last line of your comment made me laugh aloud "I know you're busy....." I'm really very un-busy on summer vacation, which is why I can spend so many hours here.

Anyway....believe it or not, I deliberated over the BarCamp discussion for a good while, longer than most that I close. I'd actually typed "Consensus to keep," then backspaced because I simply didn't feel comfortable discounting those two established editors who believed that it should be deleted. It could have easily gone either way: someone else could have closed with a "keep" and felt perfectly justified.

If the situation comes up again where you've essentially re-written an article after a deletion discussion has started, I think it's OK to drop a nice little note on someone's talk page that asks them to re-read the article and either change their opinion or re-confirm it on the discussion. That makes it easier on the closing administrator, anyway. I'm sorry that this discouraged you. You did a smashing job on re-writing the article (I'm looking at an earlier, pre-Latrippi version that contains the phrase "smash their brains together.") and I'd be horrified if my tentative backspacing caused you to leave the project.

 * Yes, I think you absolutely saved it from deletion. Wear your newly feathered cap with pride! And I'm amazed that the deletion business is being discussed off-site.  Thanks for the link.  Joyous! | Talk 02:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
