One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

”

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Corm II

Hi Sam, please note that your edits to the above AfD have been reverted by the article creator. You may not have been notified as it looks to have been a manual revert. This removal makes a big difference as it's now 3 vs 3 on keep to delete rather than 4 vs 3. I also note that the user continues to make unfounded accusations of discrimination based on ethnicity and religion. This user's behaviour is getting close to WP:ANI imho. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 06:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also felt that your source analysis was important as it highlighted the fact that the sources were all false. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 06:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Spiderone, many thanks for taking care of that. I suspect that there might be socking going on, and I will mention you in an SPI shortly. All the best, Sam Sailor 08:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for sorting that so quickly. I can see that it's already been dealt with too! Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:49, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not at least thanks to Girth Summit who took the case. Let's keep both the article and the draft on our watchlists just in case it gets recreated. I have archived the article here. Sam Sailor 05:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - you wrote a very clear report and made it easy for me. Girth Summit _(blether) 22:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
