| Black Kite Hi, I'm an administrator here, and have been since 2007. I'll try to answer any questions here as soon as I can, though I do have periods where I'm not available. For admins: if you think I've done something really f***ing stupid and I don't respond to a question about it, please feel free to reverse it ... we can work it out later on. |

request for double-check[edit]
I promise I'm not trying to rope you into a discussion I'm having, but I want to ask if you'd evaluate my own arguments and ensure I'm presenting myself accurately.
At this AN/I now-archive, I was taken to task by an IP editor for writing the article suicide of Louis Conradt (from scratch) and then redirecting Louis Conradt (what I characterized as a WP:BIO1E). You said that I'd done nothing wrong because 90% of that biography was about the [event] (there are only a couple of sentences about his life before that, and none of those provided any real notability per BIO). I am sure that if that article had been only that section and nominated for deletion, it would have been deleted. Thus, his notability lies purely in the [event], and that is what we now have.
I recently wrote the article Press Your Luck scandal from scratch and redirected the article Michael Larson thereto. I'm receiving the very same pushback from another single editor, though not an IP and with much more experience on the project.
Would you mind looking at Michael Larson (the BIO1E, where my redirection was undone, but is otherwise unchanged), Press Your Luck scandal, and the discussion at Talk:Press Your Luck scandal#Separate articles? (a) Am I correct in making the same arguments there that you did back in Jan 2023, and (b) if so, am I articulating myself and those rationales properly? Again, I'm not asking you to 'slide up in there and put your thing down' (to quote fine art); I'm watching here if you wouldn't mind just auditing me and my actions/words. If you do mind, that's completely fair—it's a big ask, but I'll still watch here for you to say 'no', if you don't mind. Thanks for your time and gracious patience — Fourthords | =Λ= | 02:05, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you[edit]
It had dragged out, and seemed to be some sort of dragged out nightmare, thanks for your action. JarrahTree 12:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
