User talk:Daniel

Not necessarily saying the article should have been kept, but I noticed your comment The couple of keep-leaning comments, and the sources presented by said comments, were refuted by noting their lack of independence. Alvaldi's comment at 20:08 7 January 2025 is a nice summation of this. I think its worth noting that Alvaldi said to keep the article on the basis that there was enough independent, in-depth sources for notability (cited Tampa Vs. Philadelphia Rivalry Has A Deep History (2024), Buccaneers, Eagles renew old rivalry (2009), Bucs, Eagles know each other well - Rivalry forms as they've met 6 times since 1999 (2003), Emotional opener - Eagles, Buccaneers renew rivalry at new stadium (2003).). There were a few other sources that were non-independent that were presented, but a good number of them were actually independent. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes I agree, but the two sentences are somewhat separate - the attempted refbombing of the debate, Alvaldi aside, were of sources that are "probably perfectly fine to use them in the article to source some facts, but as they are not independent sources so they do not help establish that the article passes WP:GNG which is needed for it not to be deleted" (to use Alvaldi's words). Josh and yourself showed a consensus that Alvaldi's sources were marginal, and Alvaldi (funnily enough, despite !voting keep) refuted the attempted refspam by KatoKungLee. Have clarified my wording to make this sentiment more obvious. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 04:45, 10 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

PS: Happy to restore to draft for further work if so desired, anyone please let me know. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 04:45, 10 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Its 3am here and I was about to vote for deletion on this while typing my rationale, but I see that you've already closed it. If you think it would make a difference, I kindly request you to reopen it for a day. This XfD is very similar to STONEX India, which was taken to DRV and reopened. Subsequently, two editors were blocked. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 22:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Jeraxmoira, STONEX was reopened because it was closed by a non-administrator (very different reason). I'll reopen it on the basis you're about to offer a contrarian view to the close (and the closed was based off no participation), please vote ASAP as it may be closed by anyone else. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 22:24, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you for reopening it. I have made my comment and hope it makes a difference. By similar, I meant that the vague votes cast by the driveby voters were similar to those in StoneX. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 22:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks for commenting so quickly — it removes the justification for my original no consensus close (no really significant participation since the last relist), so makes it a good decision to reopen. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 23:02, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Technical news

• Administrators can now nuke pages created by a user or IP address from the last 90 days, up from the initial 30 days. T380846
• A 'Recreated' tag will now be added to pages that were created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted and it can be used as a filter in Special:RecentChanges and Special:NewPages. T56145

Arbitration

• The arbitration case Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been closed.

Hey there. A small group of editors is working on cleaning up syntax errors on Wikipedia pages, and one of your protected pages has a few errors that need tidying. If you don't mind replacing User talk:Daniel/Archive/Header with the contents of this version of my sandbox, that would be great. The changes address four errors on the page, and the page is transcluded 115 times, so fixing the errors on this one page will fix nearly 500 errors. Let me know if you have any questions.

If you don't want the header's div tags to be closed when the page is transcluded, you can put them in noinclude tags, but then you, or someone else, will need to put two closing div tags on 115 pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:54, 8 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

This has the unintended consequence of closing the div box before the text starts. I've updated it for now, but this will need to be amended on each of the 115 individual pages at some point in the future if the div tags being closed is an issue.
