Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Metropolitan bias

Improper removal of talkpage comment re: Canvassing
An editor removed my talkpage comment regarding canvassing with the editsum "Take it to WP:AN/I." This is bad advice. Very bad advice. WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE specifically requires an attempt at resolution before opening a case at AN/I. So, here is my attempt at resolution... The removal of my comment was in direct violation of WP:TPOC "you should not edit or delete the comments of other editors without their permission." Unless an objection is lodged--based on policy--I will restore my comment to the AFD discussion per WP:TPOC. Here is the comment in question:

 * SPECIFICO is denying they are canvassing. Here are diffs of evidence of canvassing:

 * AfD is for discussion of the merits of the article — not of process. There may be other venues than AN/I, but it is fully correct to remove such discussion from an improper venue. You seem to have solved it well by placing the discussion here. Carl Fredrik  talk 10:04, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * For some context, the last two rows of the table above relate to me/my talk page. SPECIFICO left a message on my talk page to get my opinion as he saw this article having similar sorts of issues that I described in another AfD. It had not, at that time, been nominated for deletion. I gave my opinion (or lack thereof) and have not so much as edited the AfD page (and hadn't planned to). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 19:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)


 * My edit was tagged CANVASSED and I have no idea why. I am perfectly capable of navigating WP without being led by the nose. O3000 (talk) 20:33, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
