Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital addict (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Speedy keep again. E.3, please stop wasting other people's time with mis-use of AFD. AFD is for where you need an administrator to use the administrator-only history deletion tool that you do not have. Making a redirect, the second step in article merger, uses the edit tool that you do have. Ironically, you could have made a redirect from this title in fewer edits than it took you to make a second AFD nomination asking for someone else to make a redirect. Use the tools that your account actually has. Uncle G (talk) 11:24, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello. This nomination for deletion is part of a longer term project of mine to improve English wikipedia's coverage of Digital media use and mental health. This is a complex discussion and all thoughts welcome. This is the second nomination for deletion (previous discussion was speedy keep). Reason for deletion Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes)

That is the main reason for deletion. In an effective merge to digital media use and mental health content from this page was brought over in January 2019, and improved as part of the good article review of that page.

We can see that consensus at mobile phone overuse is to avoid the terminology of "addiction" in relation to overuse of mobile phones. I have a detailed discussion with reliable sources in the history and terminology section of the article I wrote using the content from this page.

I have considered many times improving the article but the title and scope of its original intent makes it near impossible. Related articles can be seen at this template.

Digital addict in my opinion after extensive research for the article I wrote, is outdated terminology, and I propose that this article is deleted and redirected to digital media use and mental health.

Many kind thanks to all contributors. --E.3 (talk) 09:33, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
