The result was Bizarre adventure. The AfD is being closed many years later, because it was never properly closed back then, because it was never visible, because it was never transcluded on any of the daily logpages. Technically, it has still been open this whole time.

Nobody else could ever be admitted here, because this door was made only for you. I am now going to shut it. jp×g 07:29, 18 October 2022 (UTC) (non-admin closure)

This is in regard to the page "Skullduggery (event)" deleted by Royboycrashfan on the 22nd June 2006.

I disagree with this deletion on the grounds of it being a non-notable event, or as an advertisement for a commercial event.

Skullduggery is an annual event held as part of the University of Adelaide's Orientation Week celebrations at the commencement of each academic year. It was established in 1896 and was recently referenced in The Australian (Australia's premier national newspaper) as one of the oldest Orientation events in the country (“Freshers finding their way”, The Australian, 1/3/06). Orientation Week events play a critical and historic role in Australian university culture, and Skullduggery (together with O'Ball) is the largest and oldest O'Week event at Adelaide University. It would certainly not be considered a non-notable event.

Secondly, Skullduggery is organised by the Adelaide Medical Students' Society, in conjunction with the Adelaide University Union. It is NOT a commercial event; the definition of commercial being a term pertaining to commerce or a commerce-related activity, primarily with a chief aim to make profit. Skullduggery is run as part of Orientation Week - the aim being to provide a celebratory environment to herald in the new academic year. It is definitely not classifiable as commercial.

As a new user to Wikipedia, I do not know how to rectify this deletion but hopefully someone more experienced can assist.
