I deprodded this, not because he's notable as an Olympic athlete, but because someone who has the same name and approximate age might be him, and is possibly notable as a nanotechnology scholar. Bearian (talk) 00:05, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's professional courtesy to ping the regular editor who deprodded an article. Next time. Bearian (talk) 15:23, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LibStar.

Do you have a particular reason that you seem to be listing many of Adelaide's arterial road articles at AFD? Is Adelaide special or are you doing it for all Australian cities? These articles have existed for a long time with no problems, and the guideline you say they fail has not changed recently.

Thanks, Scott Davis ^Talk 04:32, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again, existing for a long time is not an argument for notability. You will see a nominate a wide variety of articles on different topics. I know as an Adelaide resident you want to keep it but it must meet notability guidelines. LibStar (talk) 04:34, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm an Adelaide resident, and contributed a long time ago to many of these articles, so I am cautious of whether I have a parochial bias. I deliberately didn't ping you or @TarnishedPath to my post on WP:AWNB as I've not been as active on WP and was initially looking for confirmation whether anything had changed. There seem to be similar articles for arterial roads in other Australian state capitals. They've required considerable work to create, and I was surprised to have been pinged for two that are proposed to be deleted, even moreso to discover they are two of eight Adelaide arterial road articles to have been nominated in the last month.

What's the issue then? WP:EFFORT is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 06:02, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm smerging this into Victimology. Bearian (talk) 17:50, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
