Closure on WP:ITN/C?
I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that there isn't consensus. The vast majority of opposes are from people who are ignoring #2 under the "Please do not...". Of the people who have made reasonable arguments (i.e., not "this is only relevant to one country"), the weight is overwhelmingly in favor of posting. -- Rockstone  Send me a message!  08:32, 1 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Well, the problem is that unlike e.g. at AfD, opinions differ widely at ITN/C about what stories should be posted to the main page under which circumstances. This leads me to be very cautious in weighing opinions by strength of argument.  Sandstein   08:52, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

AN/I closures
I mostly !voted the opposite to what you went for here and would've, obviously, therefore preferred mostly different outcomes. And my preferences are completely and fairly discussed in your brilliant close rationales. I feel heard and I feel educated. Thank you for being willing to do this awkward job. Much respect to you. — Trey Maturin™ 17:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I was actually coming here to give you a barnstar as well. You did an excellent job assessing consensus in that discussion, and your closures were very articulate and insightful. I may not always agree with your decisions or stances, but I am glad that we have you as an administrator and as a member of our community. Kurtis (talk) 07:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Same here. I wasn't going to call out any specific close, but I was playing "catch-up" on reading noticeboard threads and saw several very good closes by you, and when I saw these, had decided you deserve a barnstar. This, of course, has nothing to do with the content of the discussions, just that several of your closes have been exceptionally good, in my opinion. In fact, thinking about it, I think I will anyway. - jc37 05:51, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Undeletion request
Hi Sandstein. Mind undeleting Anti-semitic anti-Zionism to my userpage? I'd like to compare the deleted article against what is currently happening in Zionist antisemitism, after which I'll delete it from my userspace.

I am asking you because you closed the AfD, so I think you're the person to whom I should direct an initial undeletion request.

Thanks, Freelance-frank (talk) 16:24, 30 April 2023 (UTC)


 * @Freelance-frank, sorry, I don't undelete articles, but feel free to ask at WP:REFUND.  Sandstein   17:21, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, thanks! Freelance-frank (talk) 18:06, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
