Discussion

 * Speedy Trial Approval---please post back your trial results. — xaosflux  Talk 02:11, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * - see these diffs. GoingBatty (talk) 02:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The trial looked fine, however as a non-BAG action I think there is a problem with this premise and have brought this up at CFD. Should the result be a keep, task approval should be no issue.


 * (Category:Articles containing video clips) has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. — xaosflux  Talk 04:06, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Just a note, still pending closure of that CfD, seems to be going long. — xaosflux  Talk 15:07, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 December 19 is on still. —  xaosflux  Talk 18:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The CfD was closed with no consensus. What now?  GoingBatty (talk) 02:14, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No-consensus is a default keep, so the hold on this is released. —  xaosflux  Talk 02:37, 15 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Following the one-time run, please allow at least 10 days for anyone to bring up new concerns before subsequent runs. Thank you, —  xaosflux  Talk 02:39, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
