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!

An article that you have been involved in editing—Executive director—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Legend of 14 (talk) 02:42, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Local Variable, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Jeff Firewalker Schmitt, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Decline speedy, enough of a claim of significance. Consider WP:AFD instead. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Curbon7 (talk) 06:56, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify further than a tinned message: the bare minimum needed to surpass A7 is reached, as there is a claim to significance. Consider WP:AFD instead, though please make sure he doesn't pass WP:NPROF if you go that route. Curbon7 (talk) 07:02, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Curbon7 Thanks for reviewing. I think it was a borderline case, so I can understand the caution. However at the time I tagged the article, the only possible claim to significance was being a grant recipient. I accept the subsequent edits pushed it over the line.

Thank you for causing the deletion of an article in an area where you are not active in the first place. Hauskasic (talk) 04:19, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I can understand your disappointment, but the consensus was that the article did not comply with Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. If you have concerns, please raise them with the deleting administrator or at WP:DRV. Please note that an editor does not need to be "active" in a particular area on Wikipedia to participate in deletion discussions or nominate pages for deletion.

- You did not apply the standard of this policy WP:BEFORE. After a whole day, you simply nominated it for deletion. There are sources, if you had gone to something called Google, you would have found dozens of statements and YouTube interviews (not just Netanyahu) that elaborate in detail on Israel's objectives. I proposed a compromise in my statement, which was to move the article to "Israel's war objectives in the Gaza war," but no one paid attention to it.

- The policy you've cited relates to requests for adminship, I think you mean WP:BEFORE. I don't agree that it applies - I did do checks, as indicated in the nom statement. The article had an unclear scope, it wasn't at all apparent it was about objectives of the war, it began by suggesting the article was about a slogan. Even if it was about objectives of the war, they appear to be covered in existing articles. I am not an administrator and I advise you to take your complaint to the deleting administrator or, if you think the consensus was interpreted incorrectly, DRV (but make sure to read the page carefully, because simply disagreeing with the outcome isn't enough).

- Your ill intentions couldn't be more obvious. Do not approach my discussion page or interact with me ever again!--Hauskasic (talk) 11:12, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a quick note to let you know your message was received and read. Thanks! Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:10, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
