Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/John Bambenek (2nd nomination)

It amuses me that this nomination was filed the very same week I was in a front page article in the New York Times. On second thought, maybe that does mean I have no credibility... -- Jbamb 23:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

It also amuses me that the first AfD was from the GLBT student group in retaliation for my column on gay marriage. This user seems to be from the Feminist Majority perhaps in retaliation for this. . It seems the attempts to delete this are directly correlated to columns certain groups don't like. -- Jbamb 23:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

John, nobody reads this. If you want to make a comment on the AfD nomination where people will see it, put your remarks on the main nomination page and not the talk page. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 00:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


 * It's an amusing comment, it's my bio, I'm not going to participate in the deliberation, I was just noting some humor I got out of this. -- Jbamb 01:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


 * What is your basis for the accusation of bias against the Feminist Majority? It appears to me that the anonymous nominator's IP address traces back to a fairly generic broadband IP. eaolson 19:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Oi vey! *Insert sound of trout hitting Mel's head* What 'cha think you're doing? And that was a really lame disclaimer, too. "Nevertheless" it is interesting to see very new contributors taking part in both sides of a debate. brenneman {T}  {L}  12:21, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

"[V]ery new contributors"? Euphemism of the week? --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've refactored this from the AFD page as it really shouldn't be there. On top of that, it was disrupting the outline of the day's AFD page. Stifle 17:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I've replaced it on the main page. It is intended as an aid to the closong admin (who might even be me &mdash; and I know that I'd find it useful), and few if any admins look at the Talk page of an AfD. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 19:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I've taken out the subsectioning to appease everyone. And admins bloody well should look at the talk page of an AfD it the tab's not red.  New contributors occasionally put supporting rational there because they see only "votes" on the main page. -  brenneman  {T}  {L}  03:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
