I need a break
 | Beeblebrox is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon. |
There's just too much going on in my life all the sudden, I'll be back when it's more manageable. Beeblebrox Beebletalks 20:48, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Wishing you the best and looking forward to your return, Beeblebrox :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:33, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
Please help me with deleting page
I want to redirect Bada Wolaita to Hobicha Bada. But the intended name was taken and it is redirect page. So please help me with deleting that redirect page Hobicha Bada. Kehaa (talk) 07:54, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Have a cup of tea, take some rest, and I'm looking forward to see you soon. A1Cafel (talk) 09:13, 24 February 2025 (UTC) |
Hi Beeblebrox, would you mind expanding on your close here? No SIGCOV in multiple sources was identified -- just one source that was potentially non-independent. At least three of the keep !voters were SPAs, there were abnormal levels of IP activity, and all of them based their !votes around sources that do not contribute to notability (passing mentions and quotes as the lawyer involved in some cases, clearly non-independent sources like from UCLA and the "Best Lawyers" article) and/or non-existent notability criteria like "being the lawyer on important cases".
Thank you! JoelleJay (talk) 16:46, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, would you mind giving some comments on this? Thanks! JoelleJay (talk) 20:21, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- I came across this AfD independently, and also wondered a little at the close - while numerically this is heavily favoring keep, there are a lot of insubstantial comments, and the relative inexperience of most !voters is odd to say the least. I'd think another relist would be useful. Vanamonde93 (talk) 23:20, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
What do you think? I'm not seeing it myself. You're more keen on unblocks than I. Perhaps you can help them? Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:46, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
