9-1-1

Hi, thank you for acting as closer at this discussion. I'm a bit perplexed, however, by the close. You counted the votes 5-3, but reading the discussion, this is not the case:

Support:
User:kashmiri (OP, implied support)
User:Necrothesp
User:Walrasiad (weak support)
User:SmokeyJoe

Oppose:
User:162 etc.
User:Awesome Aasim (supported status quo, or 911)
User:Pppery
User:CookieMonster755

WP:CONSENSUS is not simply vote-counting. That being said, I'm not convinced that this discussion led to a consensus to move. 162 etc. (talk) 17:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing up the opinion of Awesome Aasim, I did misinterpret his comment supporting the move. I have updated my closure to reflect that.
Indeed, consensus is not vote-counting. That is why I also considered the strength of the arguments in my closure. As I stated in my closure, the "Oppose" arguments cited WP:NATURAL, but failed to make a case for why the use of an alternative name should be preferred over WP:PARENDIS for the article. Awesome Aasim in particular did not explain at all why he chose to Oppose having the disambiguation in the title. Therefore, I considered the oppose arguments to generally be weaker than the support arguments. feminist🇭🇰🇺🇦 (talk) 02:54, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Aero (airline)

Notice

The article Aero (airline) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:ORGDEPTH due to a lack of in-depth references in WP:SECONDARY sources; the article relies almost entirely on WP:PRIMARY sources. Per ORGDEPTH and WP:NOTTRAVEL, trivial WP:ROTM mentions on travel websites of changes in a travel-related company's services are insufficient secondary sources for establishing notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Template:M

I was curious to see what was here (I'd expected it to be ). But I see it's an earthquake magnitude scale instead. I figured this was all well and good... but it was created in 2020? Was it really the case that in 2020 there was no template with that single-letter name?! I ask you because it says you're the one who created it. jp×g🗯️ 04:15, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

The template was created in 2004. Exactly because the name of the template is ambiguous and non-descriptive, it was moved to the present title, {{Earthquake magnitude}}, in 2020. {{M}} remains a redirect to the template in order to avoid breaking existing transclusions. feminist🩸 (talk) 08:06, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Lumia

Hello, I saw that you once tried to make a move for Microsoft Lumia to Lumia (smartphones) but it didn't go through. But I agree with your points. I think it should be renamed to just 'Nokia Lumia' instead for the reasons you stated (it is much better known as Nokia and the best selling products were Nokia branded). Do you support this? I am thinking of making a request myself. Knoxxman (talk) 15:06, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Aero (airline)

Hello Feminist,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Aero (airline) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Closure of Requested Move at Blind Bight

Hello Feminist. Recently you closed an RM discussion at Talk:Blind Bight. I would request you revisit this close and undo the changes. I noticed there was only one editor who expressed support in the discussion and the nominator did not notify you that there is currently an open RFC to establish appropriate consensus on a naming convention at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board# RfC: The convention for naming Australian place articles. I know you may not have been aware of this thread, but it indicates that it was contentious and non-admin close is inappropriate per WP:BADNAC. Thanks! Dfadden (talk) 22:06, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
