If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~
Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!
"Union of England, Scotland and Ireland" RfD
[edit]Hey Complex, why did you close the RfD as Delete? Jay 💬 07:23, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Jay: I admit I had a hard time understanding your !vote; it did not read as a clear-cut !vote to keep. I'd be happy to undelete and relist if you believe this merits further discussion. Complex/Rational 15:04, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- That is fine. That discussion had minimal participation anyway. Someone will create the unquoted redirect if they think it is really important. Jay 💬 01:33, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Consensus was delete, but page wasn't deleted
[edit]Hi Complex, in November this Redirect discussion was decided as delete. But the page was redirected rather than deleted to here. I found it strange that it was still up as there was consensus on delete so I tagged it as CSD thinking it got forgotten. If I am missing something please ignore. Nayyn (talk) 23:07, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Nayyn: The project page was merely a redirect and did not have substantial page history; the redirect actually was deleted and not recreated. Whenever a redirect is sent to WP:RFD, only the status of the redirect is discussed, and the outcome of a discussion has no implications for the target page. Along the same line of reasoning, a redirect being deleted as an implausible typo would naturally not imply that the (correctly-spelt) target article should be deleted.
- That said, I declined your speedy deletion request: WP:CSD#G4 requires substantially identical content in both a deleted and recreated page. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, Complex/Rational 23:28, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Recent AfD
[edit]Thank you for closing the AfD for Jared Safier. Now, upon review, I discovered that this page has been deleted several times for advertising and self-promotion, as evident in the deletion log. Would it be possible to put a lock on the page, to prevent it from being created yet again? BOTTO (T•C) 00:55, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
