User:JamesMLane/RfC re Fox News


RfC draft from 2011 that has been abandoned Niteshift36 (talk) 03:54, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, WP:SK. No reason offered for deletion.  Nothing wrong the page, it is project related, and intended in good faith for the good of the project.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:51, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * This is essentially a forgotten RfC draft, untouched in half a decade, for a dispute that's no longer happening. These aren't indefinite storage either. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:27, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You really should have stated that you were heavily involved in this page. It is someone's userspace notes/opinion page formatted as an RfC draft, and you provide the sole response (in opposition), and then nothing since.  The user User:JamesMLane has a right to keep this.  "indefinite storage" arguments don't come close to justifying deletion of other's project-related userpages.  Is there a deeper story to this?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:50, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Why would I state I was "heavily involved"? I made a one paragraph entry. I'll ignore your lack of good faith with your "deeper story" conspiracy theory. If you did your research, you'd see that the discussion 5 years ago, was more than just me opposing it. I was the only one who bothered to participate in the draft.

 * Not bad faith conspiracy, I note the page looks very weird in isolation, like it is part of a bigger event. "Heavily involved" in a funny sort of way.  Talk pages are almost never deleted, but it is only your posts that make it a talk page, this involvement gives you more right to ask for deletion.  I can't see why you want it deleted, but I am guessing you are cleaning up your own userpages incoming links?  I suggest blanking, if JamesMLane doesn't object, and if he doesn't explicitly agree to deletion.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:13, 5 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. I haven't been paying much attention to the Fox News article lately.  A quick look suggests to me that the relationship between the main article and the "Controversies" daughter article is even more noncompliant with WP:SS than it was five years ago.  Quite a few important controversies that are presented in the daughter article are omitted from the summary in the main article.  I'm not promising to re-enter the swamp of editing the Fox News article, but if I do, a similar but expanded RfC might at some point become appropriate.  There's no harm to Wikipedia in leaving this framework in my user space for possible future use.  I see no reason for deletion except for SmokeyJoe's speculation that maybe Niteshift36 wants to remove incoming links to his/her userpage.  If that's the case, then, upon Niteshift36's request, I'll happily edit the challenged page to remove those links. JamesMLane t c 06:56, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * If "lately" means the past 5 years, then no, you haven't been paying much attention to this, have you. Since you've decided to make Wikipedia your personal filing cabinet, then yes, you can remove those links. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:35, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. I'm happy to honor your unusual request in exchange for the smile your comment brought to my face.  I hope this RfC can now be closed.  Happy holidays to you. JamesMLane t c 07:33, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
