This page was speedily deleted under G6 midway through an MfD discussion in which multiple editors had argued in favour of keeping it. The deletion was therefore not uncontroversial maintenance, and is (in my view) out of process. In my opinion, the page should be undeleted, and the MfD reopened to finish running its course.

  • Endorse speedy deletion, (a) because as most people said at the MFD, there is no rational need for it, and (b) there is possibly a privacy aspect here. But mostly per (c) process for process sake is an actively harmful attitude. WP:IAR is still a thing. That said, Bbb23 was pretty optimistic when he deleted this to save people from having to argue some more. Silly Bbb23, the entire purpose of Wikipedia is to argue. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse. G6 was wrong, but the page clearly qualifies for speedy deletion under WP:U2, with the same outcome. I have no problem moving Mandiace's month-old request for help to their own Talk page. But frankly, I can't believe a dozen editors wasted time on that MfD, and who knows how many more will waste time on this pointless DRV. Please withdraw and I'll move that help tag myself.

  • The help request was moved to Mandiace's Talk page. Still there although I think Mandiace is gone.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your request to withdraw, I’m considering doing so, given the initial comments here. However, I don’t believe U2 would have been valid either, given that multiple editors in good faith had opposed the page’s deletion at all - it still would have short-circuited an ongoing deletion discussion in which such opposition had been expressed.

  • Endorse speedy deletion, already consensus for that in the MfD. The whole business is a mind-numbing waste of editor time and energy, resources that could have been spent on actually improving the encyclopaedia. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse U2 but not undeletion. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 15:59, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment which is the reality: And if the MFD was a waste of time, this is also a waste of time. Just let it stay deleted, no point in trying to reinstate it. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 16:02, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
