These are a few of the sillier recent nominations:
- Zwart-Wit '28 (honest disclosure: I did write this article) – per WP:FOOTYN the article is notable if the club participated in the national cup. Nominator nominated a club that actually won the national cup!
- Alexandra Kluge – One of Germany's highest decorated actresses. Nominator clearly didn't look left or right and just nominated her. (Note the bio deletion regular who says" "Delete just plain not notable in either career.")
- Espresso House – huge company, the Starbucks of the Nordic countries.
I'm not saying that this nomination is as bad but it is definitely out there in the sense that there is a large amount of fine references which the nominator could have added to the article, instead of nominating for deletion. gidonb (talk) 12:32, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- ironically in the time spent writing the above response you could have easily listed sources. LibStar (talk) 21:33, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- It had crossed my mind but I'm also educating others not to come up with unreasonable demands. On the long run it may safe time. Plus I take referencing serious and do it elaborately. See for example Evelyn Young. I want to encourage everyone to take their editor tasks serious and not pose inappropriate demands to those they disagree with. gidonb (talk) 22:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I've been on WP several years and participated in thousands of AfDs it's certainly reasonable to request sources when a WP:MUSTBESOURCES argument is presented. Let me guess you'll keep on replying... LibStar (talk) 09:01, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- However, I did NOT make a WP:MUSTBESOURCES argument. Also, did you make such requests of others in this discussion? Where is your attempt to reference this article? There are many sources in the link that you provided. gidonb (talk) 13:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
the onus is on keep !voters to demonstrate that in depth sourcing exists. That's how AfD works. LibStar (talk) 20:09, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- If you mean that such unreasonable and unevenhanded demands have been made before, I agree. However not all that has been done before at Wikipedia is desirable. Hoaxes and vandalism, for example, are not. gidonb (talk) 21:51, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- you accused me of being time consuming with arguing (when my initial response was one question). How much time have you spent arguing here? WP:KETTLE. LibStar (talk) 22:53, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I answered your questions and demands of other people's time. gidonb (talk) 23:38, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How much time have you consumed arguing here? LibStar (talk) 23:41, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- More than I like but 14 years at WP have made me patient. Or maybe it's just me getting older ;-) gidonb (talk) 01:26, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
