Requesting un-create protection of Journal on European History of Law
This title was create-protected by you back in May as a result of repeated recreation, however now Draft:Journal on European History of Law has been created and expanded enough to showcase notability, so I am requesting that it be un-create protected so I can accept the draft and move it to mainspace.

 * @Devonian Wombatdone, sorry for the delay.  Sandstein   19:19, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Recreating a page that has been deleted
I am the Promotions director of the American Cribbage Congress (cribbage.org). We used to have a Wikipedia page under American Cribbage Congress, formerly at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Cribbage_Congress. We are a smallish organization looking to create an article about our org on Wikipedia. The prior article looks like it was deleted for not having secondary sources -- can you help direct us to the rules for hosting an article on this site? Also, is it possible that you have an archived copy of the article that we could start from (assuming we can adhere to the rules). Thank you. JJ-NC768 (talk) 14:54, 20 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, please refer to WP:N for the inclusion requirements for articles. Also, our rules provide that you should not write about yourself or your organization, see WP:COI.  Sandstein   10:55, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

"policies, which do require consensus before being amended"
Please review WP:PGBOLD (which is in the WP:Policies and guidelines policy) and reconsider whether wp:DRNC applied to my reversion. - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 18:03, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Deletion review for SSSniperWolf
An editor has asked for a deletion review of SSSniperWolf. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 11:06, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

AE restriction on Nishidani
Hi Sandstein, I was wondering if you'd consider modifying this restriction from four and a half years ago, or turning it over to me or another uninvolved admin, so that Nishidani can seek assistance at AE if they believe another editor is being disruptive? There is a current thread at AE involving talk page toxicity and there's some suggestion that it could have been avoided if Nishidani was allowed to ask for enforcement at an earlier stage. Thanks, HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 11:22, 27 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm not active at AE, so I'm generally indifferent. That said, I only discuss the lifting of sanctions by request of the sanctioned editors, as other editors are not affected by the sanctions, and it is a matter for the sanctioned editors to show why the sanctions are no longer needed.

Deletion of Boom Tube page
I was looking for information on DC's Boom Tubes and found the page redirected to New Gods, which from what I can tell, had no information on or direct relation to Boom Tubes (it even links to the Boom Tube redirect rather than provide any information on what it is). I went back to the redirect and found that the history of the page actually had useful information. The Boom Tube page (pre-deletion) actually answered my questions and contains information that doesn't exist on the New Gods page, so I'm not entirely sure why it was redirected there.

I propose an undeletion of the Boom Tube for the following reasons:


 * The deleted article contained useful information that isn't found elsewhere on Wikipedia
 * The linked article on the "New Gods" appears only tangentially related as it is related to the "Mother Box" which is then related to the "Boom Tubes"
 * It looks like Boom Tubes are created by the Mother Box, and it would appear that neither the Boom Tubes nor the Mother Boxes are a "New God".
 * Rather than explain the Mother Boxes and Boom Tubes, the New Gods page links to the Mother Box page and the Boom Tube redirect (circular)

If for some reason it still makes sense to delete the Boom Tube page, could we add a Boom Tube section to the Mother Box article and redirect Boom Tube to that section instead? Why was the page deleted in the first place? The explanation on the deletion discussion page didn't make sense to me. 2605:59C8:5368:EF00:0:0:0:DFB (talk) 04:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
