Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Gumtree

[edit] Non-administrators closing discussions Shortcut: WP:DPR#NAC In general, administrators are responsible for closing discussions about deletions. However, at times the various deletion discussions become backlogged. Editors in good-standing who have not been made administrators may close deletion discussions, with the following provisions:

Deletion discussions must be decided in accordance with consensus and taking account of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If you are not familiar with deletion policy or the workings of deletion discussions, it is best that you only close discussions with unambiguous results. Non-administrators should not close even unanimous "delete" decisions, as they lack the technical ability to delete pages. In cases when an administrator has deleted a page and overlooks closing the discussion, their name and deletion summary should be included in the closing rationale. Closing discussions in which you have offered an opinion or for a page that you have edited heavily presents a conflict of interest and should be avoided. The sole exception is if you are closing your own withdrawn nomination as a speedy keep and all other viewpoints expressed were for keep as well.

I rest my case - this should have been allowed to run - but somebody must be blind - gumtree IS PART ODF EBAY - MERGE IT!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bananabean cs (talk • contribs)


 * Paypal is also part of ebay... perhaps we should merge that as well? When closing the AfD I invoked Use Common Sense which allows me to temporarily ignore all the rules Fosnez 20:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
