Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of countries by statehood

Comments
The page is filled with errors. BASICALLY OLD NATIONS LIKE IRAN, INDIA, CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, EGYPT, GREECE, ITALY, IRELAND AND OTHERS ( SORRY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO MENTION ALL ) COULD NOT BE DETERMINED HOW OLD THEY ARE. (Comment left by 90.177.188.171 on October 23, 2010)

Where is my vote?
I clearly remember that I had voted against deletion of this article. I can not see my vote now. Some one said Wikipedia is not a democracy. But I have not read any where on wikipedia that it is a dictatorship either. What happened with deletion of this article was dictatorship. Deletions are based on Consensus and this has not clearly happened here. Some one just woke up and decided to obliterate an article just because it did not suite his and his wiki buddies personal tastes and prejudices. There can be no other explanation for this.--116.71.211.75 (talk) 17:23, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Were you logged in at the time, if so what is your acct name? If not, were you perhaps editing under another IP address? Because, according to your contribution history, you have not voted on this issue.  He  iro 19:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No I was not logged in. And my IP changes from time to time (It is how my ISP) works. But I know I did it and signed it.--119.153.7.177 (talk) 22:42, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Well log in then or please consider setting up an acct, Why create an account?, as it seems you've already IP hopped again. And, if you don't see your vote here in the edits to this page, it means you are mistaken and did not vote.  He  iro 01:55, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking on the page history for Articles for deletion/List of countries by statehood, the only IP that edited the page was 207.207.127.233 at 04:06/04:08, 26 October 2010 - and that would not appear to be the same geographical area as your IPs in this thread (On this page: 116.71.211.75 PAKISTAN ISLAMABAD ISLAMABAD; 119.153.7.177  PAKISTAN NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PESHAWAR; on the history of the AfD: 207.207.127.233  UNITED STATES WASHINGTON TACOMA). As such, I would say that it appears that you did not take part in the discussion. The only other contribution from an IP on this page is from 90.177.188.171, which is located in the Czech Republic. Looking at the talk page of the deleted article, there are a couple of contributions from Pakistan-located IPs, but not about the AfD; and I can see no Pakistan-located IPs on the article history in the time since the AfD was started.
 * As for your assertion that I did not close in line with consensus, I would be forced to disagree. I did not "[wake up] and decided to obliterate an article just because it did not suite his and his wiki buddies personal tastes and prejudices" - I was asked to re-look at my original closure, and after consideration, I found that I had been mistaken and the consensus was in fact to delete. If you believe that this was not an accurate assessment of the consensus, then you are welcome to take the closure to Deletion review. Please note that this is not another chance to present arguments for or against deletion - it is a chance for my closure to be discussed if you feel that I did not act in accordance with the consensus of the discussion at the time at which it was closed. Should you go to review, please could you drop a note on my talk page to let me know? Regards, --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 23:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
