Closure of your AfD
fyi, you can't withdraw your AfD nomination, even if you've changed your mind and no longer want the article to be deleted, if there are delete votes on it. You should probably revert your close and let an uninvolved admin handle it. -- asilvering (talk) 15:09, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I just came here to say the same thing. In fact, I had made a note to myself to come !vote delete.  Reverting the closure would probably be best here.  Thanks, 35.139.154.158 (talk) 00:15, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Mychemicalromanceisrealemo, please revert your closure. You can't close an AFD discussion you started when some editors have advocated Deletion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 05:07, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Beat my doors down, will you! It's reverted in any case. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 06:13, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Western tulku
This should not be a separate article but should be merged into Tulku. Skyerise (talk) 10:51, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

No, you may not remove the merge tag. This is clearly a POV fork designed as an attack page against Western tulkus. In point of fact, there is widespread criticism of the whole tulku system. There are Tibetan tulkus who are also criticized. Misidentification of tulkus isn't limited to Westerners. Skyerise (talk) 11:05, 31 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Please assume good faith. For what it is worth, I am a Shingon Buddhist and I do not have anything against Western tulkus. I am simply working for reliable sources. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 11:07, 31 October 2023 (UTC)


 * In general, we do not split topics based on ethnicity. I suggest you merge this material to Tulku. If not, I will Afd the article as not a notable subtopic, a POV fork, and an attack page. Skyerise (talk) 11:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Do it. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 11:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * "Do it" as in AfD the article, not merge it. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 11:18, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've already listed all the guidelines it violates. The worst is splitting an article by ethicity. Either add your material to tulku or use your damn sandbox. What you are doing is not appropriate. Skyerise (talk) 11:46, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That policy has nothing to do with what you think it does. "Western tulku" is a term present in academic sources (i.e., WP:RSs). MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 11:50, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That does not make it a separate topic from tulku. Skyerise (talk) 11:53, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * In order to make it NPOV, you would have to include positive material about Western tulkus along with listing Western tulkus who have NOT been criticized. Skyerise (talk) 11:54, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You know, maybe I could do that if I didn't have someone disrupting my page creation...if you look at my sources, you'll notice more than one was actually written by a Western tulku, and I am working through these sources to build a page. In any case, WP:NPOV does not mean "add positive material because I'm offended." It means properly attributing opinions and not ignoring reliable sources. Good lord.

November 2023
 You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Western tulku, Talk:Western tulku, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Western tulku) for a period of 1 week for Disruptive editing; the affected article and its talk page would noticeably benefit from less of this and more time for others to participate. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:24, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Your signature
Please fix your malfunctioning and shockingly intrusive bright red signature. Cullen328 (talk) 04:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It'll be fixed soon. Laptop is fried and I on my phone currently.  MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE  IS REAL EMO! discuss real emo here... 05:39, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Seconding this request; I usually keep my mouth shut about other people's signatures, but in this case I cannot. The color is somewhat irritating on its own, but the amount of text plus the increased font size is unconscionable... jp×g🗯️ 08:26, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You're late; I've already trimmed it.  MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE  IS REAL EMO!discuss 08:28, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * By the way, I don't mean to insult you for this; experimenting with wacky siggies is a time-honored tradition and you shouldn't feel bad about doing it a little :^) jp×g🗯️ 09:59, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Your signature still does not function right. Clicking on it ought to take anyone to your user page. Plus, your signature is still garish. Cullen328 (talk) 18:56, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Garish is the point.  MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE  IS REAL EMO!discuss 22:25, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, Mychemicalromanceisrealemo,
 * I'm also here to talk about your signature. I spend time closing AFDs and there are a few you have been active on and your signature is like an ambulance flashing, drawing attention to itself. I recommend not using red and using a shortened version of your username and a regular, not enlarged size. Also, a warning, when enough editors get irritated by an editor's signature, in can result in a discussion on ANI so I recommend you taking care of this on your own before it becomes a bigger issue. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok Tryin to make a change :-/ 04:50, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * (My personal opinion: WP:SIGRANT) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:40, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I think I prefer my 2010 text signature anyway. Tryin to make a change :-/ 12:49, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Your signature does have to contain a link to your user page, your user talk page or your contributions page (WP:SIGLINK), and the easiest way to comply with all requirements is to remove the checkmark from "Treat the above as wiki markup." in your signature preferences. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:16, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Renaming...
When declining your username request I should also have mentioned that it won't be done while your account has current blocks. Feel free to ask again (for a different new name) once your blocks have expired. Cabayi (talk) 09:49, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Understood, thanks.  MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE  IS REAL EMO!discuss 09:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * , this is kind and may be a procedural requirement you can't simply override on my request, but I personally would be fine with a rename happening during my block. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:38, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * , the policy is to disallow renames during blocks as an interpretation of "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct". Softblocks are the only common exception. Regards, Cabayi (talk) 20:26, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've had a look after writing this and figured it would be based on that point. While I personally hope that this wasn't the intention behind the request, the general rule seems reasonable to me, and applying it here to be rather safe than sorry is also not a bad idea. A week won't hurt. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:32, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * In my defense, its mainly because trying to design a signature with a username this long is difficult.  MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE  IS REAL EMO!discuss 22:17, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
