@Cactusisme: Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you didn't want to move that yourself?

Also, I just noticed that it's empty. If it's not going to be populated, let's delete it for the time being. -- Auntof6 (talk) 13:56, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not empty. Merely, the pages haven't been moved from the old category title to the new category yet. 76.126.231.56 (talk) 15:36, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... when I looked, it looked like both were empty. In any case, the pages hadn't moved in part because the old category had a regular redirect instead of a category redirect. I just fixed that and moved the entries, so everything looks good now. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:29, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disturbance of wikipedia

Delete (without making a big deal)?

Ukraine-Nazi Germany Relations. En-wiki does not have the title.--Do i think that the title, is non-goodFaith?--Well, i think it should be Deleted, because the title is not a known subject (and also, Nazi-Germany invaded Ukraine, so the "-Relations" part, is meaningless, one might say).--QD?

(Making this comment here as this person's on a new IP what seems like every minute so seems pointless heading to their talkpage, Anyway my apolgies @2001:2020:C305:834B:A4E3:EAED:D1EB:1520 for reverting you here, I did revert you based on the infoboxes and only just saw you had also added leads too, I've now rewritten the leads[1],

Just an FYI we don't have individual infoboxes - We just have one main one which at Enwiki (and probably elsewhere) is the very top infobox, Thanks, ) –Davey2010^Talk 22:44, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The title looks like something that is (made-up or) construed, as part of a Victory Day celebration, in a neighboring dictatorship.--Opening up a bag of popcorn, and 'quietly' observing, as propaganda titles, come 'to town' , or to Simple-wiki. 2001:2020:C305:834B:1804:FAEA:FEA3:2E33 (talk) 04:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC) /original poster[reply]

Brainrot-thingy, now kept at En-wiki

En-wiki now has article with Italian_brainrot. That article, got a Speedy Keep, c. 29 April.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_brainrot

Now, i will start, 'that' article, Italian brainrot (meme)).

Feel free to not make language-link (interwiki), to En-wiki, for the longest time.

I am fine with the article, quickly becoming 'locked for IP-users'; On the other hand, one can use the article as a recruiting tool, and revert all non-good edits, and say "Take your idea to Talk-page, first".

A big thank you to all admins (and others), who kept the stuff off wikipedia, while it still was non-notable.--We did things the right way, in my opinion. 2001:2020:C305:834B:1804:FAEA:FEA3:2E33 (talk) 05:36, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The stuff that was salted for six months: I am now thinking that, just 'let that salt remain (for those titles), and in six months or whatever, things will fall in place, automatically.--It is not a big deal, 'more or less'. 2001:2020:C305:834B:1804:FAEA:FEA3:2E33 (talk) 05:53, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talkpage deletion and protection request

Hi, Could someone delete Talk:AI Brainrot animals and protect it until 23 October 2025 to match the article protection please?, I know this may be fruitless but it's worth a shot, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am thinking it is better to leave it alone.--Now, someone has 'made their case', about 'keeping' an 'odd title'; Now, that person has six months to wait for that title being 'opened', for possible re-creation.--I am fine with all of that. 2001:2020:C305:834B:AD2A:106A:4BE3:B12 (talk) 18:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was talking about the article copypaste above it.... which is abuse of the talkpage, No point removing it because these people will just reinstate it or repaste the same crap again, Look at the amount of times the article has alresdy been created and tell me my theory is wrong. Should be deleted. Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 18:41, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am thinking it is better to leave that talk-page, alone.--One day, 'the Tik-Tok crowd' will have moved on to bigger and better things.--Half a year from now, will be a fine time to 'revisit' a Delete of the talk-page. 2001:2020:C305:834B:AD2A:106A:4BE3:B12 (talk) 19:22, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if you're aware but the page has to be deleted per WP:G8 anyway as there's no accompanying article with it, The RFD !vote there is meaningless as the RFD has long been closed,

I'm not sure if you're objecting to the deleting or protecting but if it's the latter then sure I'm not fussed either as looking at the logs it was only repeatedly created from 21-23 April so protection may not be needed after all, Still I'll leave this as is and a passing admin can decide, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move request for San Diego

I request a move from San Diego, California to San Diego, because this city is the primary topic for the name. It will also match the title on English Wikipedia. 11USA11 (talk) 23:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that multiple people agree that your edit is bad and that you should revert it. Cactus🌵 ^spiky ^ツ 12:44, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from not feeling the language was too complex, I don't see the issue if the added sections were after the original paragraphs. If anyone had a problem with the added sections, they could have just skipped them, or simplified them further. There was important info there that I feel should be kept in.

Ivan P. Clarin (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)

I believe we need to consider the application of WP:ONESTRIKE with regard to the above named editor. The user is blocked on the English Wikipedia for persistent addition of unsourced material and refusal to communicate. I note similar behaviors here. In March, they received a final warning for the creation of bad pages. Since then, it appears that they have made even more bad pages. I tagged a few as QD yesterday that were recreations of articles that had been deleted at RFD previously. In a quick glance at their last 1000 edits, I see one contribution to a discussion at an RFD. Otherwise, the user is not engaging on talk pages or discussions.

A ONESTRIKE should be considered based on there being a final warning in March and based on the same editing pattern that led to the block at En. At the least, a restriction from creating new pages should be applied. CountryANDWestern (talk) 12:42, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taksoh17

It appears that Taksoh17 (talk · contribs) is editing while logged out as 46.34.55.184 (talk · contribs) in order to influence/control the outcome of the Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2025/Devan Leos (3rd nomination). The IP, which hadn't edited since March, arrived 27 minutes after Taksoh17's last edit at the RFD to close it inappropriately. The IP behavioral evidence includes them both editing Sean Bloom (2 of the 3 editors to edit it) and similar phrasings, such as the use of "AFDs" to refer to our "RFDs." Could an admin look at this situation and consider whether any actions/warnings are warranted? Thank you, CountryANDWestern (talk) 20:15, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CountryANDWestern Happy for a neutral admin to review. I'd like to point out that @CountryANDWestern is a newer editor, so while their enthusiasm is appreciated, they may not have a full grasp on policy, especially regarding WP:AFD . First, according to Wikipedia:Non-admin closure, non admins are allowed to close discussions that are obviously a keep.

There seems to be no consensus, and apparently now a user is canvasing Reddit to encourage deletion of the article (rather concerning). As such, the closure of the discussion for lack of consensus (which = keep) does not seem inappropriate.

Numerous editors at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2025/Devan Leos (3rd nomination) have made strong arguments in favor of keeping the page, and the page has survived deletion requests two times within the last few months. To be clear, the most recent nomination was weak, and only one other editor seems to have made a strong and detailed argument in favor of deletion. If there is a policy violation please let me know.

Id recommend if you know how look at what triggered it to show up on the patrols, as I say stuff there. I may be wrong. I just cant look through all of there edits. again I apologies if im wrong. but something to look into. its not a full allegation its just to many edits to look through.

What are the rules here on using WP:WPCleaner? Do I need to be a administrator? Do I need flood or bot flag? I checked the page for rules here but it only has a redirect and no information on rules here. Thanks :) Ieditrandomarticles (talk | contribs) 15:59, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

non admin comment: Hi @Ieditrandomarticles,

Nope you don't need to be administrator to use it,
Generally speaking yes you're supposed to ask for the flood flag before using it if doing repetitive edits however getting a response from any admin can take 8+ hours so I personally use it without the flood flag (generally speaking I try to use it at night time/early hours of the morning when no one's on), Unfortunately in the past when I used to wait for a response sometimes it would be declined anyway so yeah I just crack on without it but yeah expect to be messaged about it constantly if you do go down that route),

Please be aware not all issues on there can be fixed (such as "table end") - You should preview all edits you make to make sure you're not messing the page up one way or another, Hope this helps, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 16:35, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
