 * Speedy keep #2 deletion spree. Unscintillating (talk) 04:05, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Nominating a large number of articles - all of which have been tagged for notability for at least 5 years - does not meet speedy keep no. 2. Please comment on notability of article. Boleyn (talk) 09:07, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * As far as the operational definition of what constitutes a "large number" of such nominations, the nomination being considered here is constructed with two arguments from WP:ATA, a proof by assertion, and no evidence of following WP:BEFORE. I would say that between two to ten such nominations is "unquestionably disruption".  One such nomination by itself might also be argued as unquestionable disruption, but there is no pattern to consider.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * In requesting that I research this topic, you are asking me to do work that you could have done yourself, even after editors on your talk page have explained to you that your AfD nominations have been indiscriminate. The nominations that I have seen (I have only looked at about 10–20% of them so far) are composed of arguments from WP:ATA from the "Surmountable problems" section.  The evidence I presented shows 250 consecutive delete !votes, almost all of which are deletion nominations.  250 AfDs is the maximum analysis allowed by the tool, and I have never before had a problem with the limit on the maximum number.  In this case, 250 AfDs only returns two days worth of nominations.  Behind those 250 is another 100 or so with the identical pattern.  The number of related nominations is so large that the exact number is inconvenient to calculate.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Every editor who posts at AfD is provided text that says, "discussion guidelines are available."  This link leads to WP:Articles for deletion, which states, "...a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive."  Further down it says, "You do not have to make a recommendation on every nomination; consider not participating if...[a] nomination involves a topic with which you are unfamiliar."  Further down the page there is a section, WP:Articles for deletion.  This section states, "Prior to nominating articles(s) for deletion, please be sure to:..." with sections A, B, C, and D.  Relevant to the current AfD, point B6 states, "Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles."  Doing this check leads to this article, which without regard for its merit is relevant to this discussion.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep The nom apparently did not realize that this has an article in the Greek WP, which has 2 good refs that just need to be transcribed over. AB, this is not careful work. Your assertion of unref is just plain wrong.  DGG ( talk ) 04:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
