Broken template?
I noticed a line of obviously out of place text at the top of the page. I eventually worked out that it's the result of



I deleted it from the top of the page, and would have copied it to the bottom of the list, but there's clearly a problem as the template only produces that one line of text. I really don't know what I'm doing so if someone who knows how the AFD page and template work could have a look it would be good. CarrieVS (talk) 10:56, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

FYI: Eduardo Paulino
Eduardo Paulino AfD: Diff. The recent relisting of this AfD is a classic example of the problems inherent in non-admins closing XfDs and performing many of the related administrative tasks. Most non-admins simply do not have the experience to make discretionary decisions, often leading to controversy when they push the envelope to demonstrate their "skills" as future RfA candidates. Contrary to your edit summary above, no "productive discussion" has occurred since January 12, 2013. Simply relisting the AfD again because there have been no new comments since the last relisting on January 16 shows that the relister had not reviewed the matter any depth. The January 16 relister's logic (see diff), such as it was, was that there was a late comment on January 12 which other editors should have the opportunity to consider. That no one has chosen to comment further on that late comment in the ensuing 11 days in what had been a very active discussion previously speaks volumes.
