Request Information

 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * ...Talk:Bonza bottler day and Articles for deletion/Bonza bottler day


 * Who's involved?
 * ...Calton, Rklawton [whose manner of participation warranted this S.O.S.]. Additional, more civil, discussants include: Joe Kress,  130.127.103.17, Yomangani, Capitalistroadster, Marginalia,  Nojybles , DKnebel , Sandstein ,199.97.121.99 and me.


 * What's going on?
 * ...There is debate - and on the part of Calton and Rklawton bullying and disparaging - about whether or not the article is sufficiently notable and its sources sufficiently reliable for Bonza bottler day to remain in Wikipedia. Moreover, Rklawton proposes that Hallmark holidays and Humorous occurences - both of which characterize Bonza bottler day - should be Afd'd.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * ...For a neutral entity with knowledge of Wikipedia policies to resolve the actual issues and cut short the unproductive back-and-forth. I'll abide by their decision.

Additionally, it would be helpful for the discussants who are behaving badly (myself included if that is your opinion) to receive feedback about their/our behavior from a neutral entity, such as the Mediation Cabal, that has credibility within Wikipedia. That is, of course, if the Mediation Cabal feels that said behavior is out of line and that this is the appropriate forum to address it in.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * ...Yes, please. I can be emailed at ltolliver AT 360meridian DOT com.  Thank you!

It's sad that this article was deleted. Good thing google still had it in cache, or i would have had to check a different encyclopedia. -Chris
