Hi JBW, can you tell me who requested the deletion of this draft? As far as I can tell, it was created by an IP then later edited by Criticize, a blocked sock. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 20:37, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@S0091: The draft was created by an IP editor, who used two very closely related IP addresses. The account Luna.t5 was then created, and its owner claimed to be that IP editor. From looking at the editing history of Luna.t5 and the IP addresses, I see no reason to doubt that it was indeed the same person. Luna.t5 did some editing, but eventually replaced the entire content of the draft, apart from material relating to declined AfC submissions, by the text "Such a horrible article". Criticize restored the removed content, but one minute later self-reverted. That was all the editing that Criticize did on the page, so their actual contribution to the page was nill. Luna.t5 then totally blanked the page, and QuicoleJR requested speedy deletion. Luna.t5 then redirected the draft to an article. If you wish to take the line that the redirecting superseded the blanking, and that therefore it shouldn't be G7 deleted, let me know, and I will restore the redirect. Personally I think that there's no good reason for keeping the redirect, and very slight reason for preferring not to, but I don't care enough either way to wish to debate, argue, or defend any position relating to it.

Ah, ok. My concern was a sock requesting G7 of a declined draft to wipe the history just so they can recreate it but that does not appear to be case. Leave it be and thank you for the thorough explanation. S0091 (talk) 21:17, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Can you redirect Colors (Indian TV channel) to Colors TV. Was protected quite a while ago due to sock shenanigans but those have now largely subsided.

As you mentioned, this article is exempt from speedy deletion under criterion A7. However, the subject is clearly non-notable private institution, relies on self-published sources, and lacks significant coverage. As a Wikipedian patrolling pages related to Indian educational institutions, I have come across too many articles that violate Wikipedia's terms. KnowMosaic 09:33, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of points, there was a previous AfD resulting in Keep, and the article is no longer about what it was about. Bit of a mess, frankly. DuncanHill (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@KnowMosaic and DuncanHill: I agree with both of you, and personally I would have liked to speedily delete it, but doing so would not have been consistent with the speedy deletion policy. A second AfD might well have a different outcome. JBW (talk) 14:00, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The IP address from which you posted this message is not blocked. It has not been blocked since almost a year ago, and even then there was no block on account creation. What message do you get telling you that your IP address is blocked? JBW (talk) 23:30, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

hi I requested an account the day afterwards (18th Feb) as for block it showed a different address and the address that is blocked is different I did try the day afterwards obviously the address and block changed I requested an account after that it did not take too long to do thankfully thanks for helping with my situation last week I'm more relaxed this week, back in UK since Thursday 19 (I was in Ireland last week).

This talk page contains Japanese-language death threats against Tetsuya Yamagami, the man who assassinated former prime minister Shinzo Abe. This is something that Bulut does a lot. Please delete it as G10. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 18:35, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 19:06, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

YGM. Let me know if you didn't receive it. Thanks! Some1 (talk) 19:28, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
