Deletion discussions
[edit]Hello, RemoveRedSky,
I noticed that you have been handling closing a lot of deletion discussions and I'm not sure you have enough experience to be doing this. How do you handle a Merge closure on a CFD discussion beyond just closing the discussion? What procedures are you following to carry out a Merge, Deletion and Redirection? There is a whole lot more to do than just closing a discussion. Do you know what to do? Have you talked to any more administrators about the proper actions to follow through on these closures and where you have to list these categories for further action or are you expecting another editor to take care of cleaning up these closures and carrying out these actions?
Please demonstrate that you know the steps to follow and who you have discussed this with. Thank you for following through on these procedures. If you have further questions, you can always ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 03:30, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
- @RemoveRedSky I'd also like to chime in. It looks like you'd benefit from slowing down a bit and getting more experience with participating in the process.SMasonGarrison 14:33, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
- @Liz I haven't discussed prior to this message. Right now I have only been informing WP:CFD/W and WP:TFD/H (only for templates) after closing and I didn't know there was more I could potentially be doing, so for that I would like to apologize. For now, I will attempt to participate more rather than close, view others' contributions after closing, and think more about what I could do for closing discussions with a general consensus rather than a majority which could be low-quality (per @Piotrus's message
belowhere). I still want to do more than counter vandalism, yet it is still evident I need more experience before being bold and doing things that I view as naturally acceptable. Thank you very much for your assistance! RemoveRedSky [talk] 15:10, 5 November 2026 (UTC)- Actually, I think I'll be just focusing on CFD for right now since I've seen more closures on those than I have for AFD. @Smasongarrison, is reporting these categories to WP:CFD/W the correct thing to do after closing just a deletion of a category? And for merges, should I be manually merging these articles and then requesting deletion in CFD/W, or am I wrong? I'd like approval before I continue to close. Thanks again, and my apologies.
