false accusation of rape
Who gave you the right to delete my contribution to the "False Accusations of Rape" page. The story was properly cited! February, 1987, Penthouse, page 18. What more do you need?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.6.97 (talk) 21:14, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * on wikipedia, everyone has that right. if I didn't, I assure you someone else would. for such a controversial topic we need sources of the highest possible quality, and all of the content added needs to be supported by the cited source. penthouse is not reliable for such a subject. The person you quoted may be, but ideally we'd be citing research published in a peer reviewed journal or something of similar authority. But don't get me wrong, I'm just an editor here. you're welcome to follow the next step in the WP:BRD process (basically means the status quo rules until there's consensus to change) by opening a discussion of the material on the article talk page. if there's a consensus to add it, then no problem. As you may imagine, this article is subject to a ton of poor sources, opinion, and plain old vandalism, so any non minor change would probably need to go through the talk page first. &mdash;  Rhododendrites  talk  \\ 21:54, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

WP:AADD
I have added more content to provide a more balanced perspective at WP:PRONLY. North America1000 05:20, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but it still doesn't seem to me like it fits at AADD. The argument is still a perfectly valid one when it's accurate, but any inaccurate statement should be something to avoid (without specifying each). I do appreciate that it is perhaps an argument too commonly used as an overgeneralization, but don't know that that means it needs to be included.. But I'd rather not start a parallel discussion here -- I opened a talk page discussion there that would benefit from your input/contextualization. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 05:36, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Drive Ins
Sorry about that. I did review & my thinking was that if it was never going to be notable, which seemed to be the case, it shouldn't remain a redlink. StarM 17:27, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The MOS guidelines for such a scenario aren't clearly defined, to be sure, but the typical guidance for delinking redlinks when found to not be notable is most applicable to redlinks in prose. With a list, the blue/red/black distinction is more significant than simply linking to a page or not -- it's a way to determine if it fits the most common kinds of inclusion criteria. Most (though certainly not all) lists require notability for inclusion (WP:CSC, etc.). When an entry in such a list is deleted, delinking it makes that now-inappropriate entry harder to find. I commonly watch AfDs and, if deleted, look at the "what links here" to remove it from lists for which it no longer meets the inclusion criteria. If it's delinked before I do that, there's no way to find it outside of a text search (which can be difficult). In this case, it's a list that several people watch, but when it's not those non-notable entries pile up and signal to potential contributors that anything can be added. There are also scripts to highlight redlinks and redlinks stand out more than black text when scanning a list. Some people skip lists altogether when delinking a deleted page, but IMO the best way to go would be to just look for the inclusion criteria for the list (hopefully on the talk page or evident from the list itself, e.g. all blue links). Anyway, sorry for the rant. It's not a great big deal. &mdash; <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> Rhododendrites <sup style="font-size:80%;">talk  \\ 18:13, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries, it's not a rant and is super helpful to me. I've found that each content area (project, type, whatever) has general practices that may sometimes differ from the MOS, even at times when the MOS is more clear. TBH, I hate closing AFDs, but if I do get active there again I'll certainly follow your tip re: looking for criteria. I had to go find that script since the one I used when I used to be active no longer worked and was afraid I'd miss a st ep if I tried to close manually. But will keep it in mind too should it come up with speedies or other situations. Thanks! <b style="font-family:Verdana; color:#6633FF;">StarM</b> 19:18, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Thanks for your efforts with maintenance tasks. If it makes it easier to forego the looking for the inclusion criteria step, you can ping me or leave a message here with a list of, er, lists. I go on fairly frequent list cleanup-a-thons. :) Whatever's easiest, though. &mdash; <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> Rhododendrites <sup style="font-size:80%;">talk  \\ 19:38, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
