An editor has asked for a deletion review of User Talk: Leanalove. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Leanalove 09:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
The article that was previously deleted was under IM+ title

Thanks very much for your support in my recent RfA, which passed successfully at 40/2/1, making me Wikipedia's 1,250thadministrator. Your comments were much appreciated, and I will endeavour to fulfil your expectations as an admin.
Thank you for supporting my RFA. I hope I will live up to your expectation. Let me know if you need any help, or I make any mistake. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 00:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted your deletion of this image, as it was taken by the uploader, he just did not specify that was the case on the image page. I would normally request you do this, but I see that you are probably otherwise engaged. J Milburn 11:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know, your endorsement of Board candidates was stricken by Philippe, a member of the election committee, with the following comment: No link from home wiki to meta. Please add that and let me know, and I'll reinstate the endorsement. Philippe 23:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC). Just letting you know. —METS501 (talk) 03:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mailer diablo, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment. I will be happy to help as an admin wherever and whenever I can --VStalk 23:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Mailer diablo. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. It means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of caretaker assistance.
Your closing of the Afd for State terrorism by the United States must have been based on a raw vote. I fail to see how you could evaluate the comments on that Afd in 7 minutes between your last close of an Afd. If all you are going to do is to count votes to determine consensus, then maybe you shouldn't be closing Afd's. I am very disappointed in your handling of this matter.--MONGO 03:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
I am looking forward to a future discussion on this as well. JungleCatShiny!/Oohhh! 03:33, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Just because the close is not in your favour? - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 03:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
This had nothing to do with what users think. This is based upon Wikipedia policy, which I am surprised that you are not familiar with?JungleCatShiny!/Oohhh! 04:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
I see tons of such assertions within the AfD for those advocating deletion, but they are not backed with evidence nor reason. The nominator examplifies WP:JUSTAPOLICY and WP:JNN-ish. - Mailer Diablo 04:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Those are simply essays, not the project's policies which must be enforced. I do not want to sound like a Wiki lawyer, but you have not made a proper decision based upon Wikipedia standards. Not good. JungleCatShiny!/Oohhh! 04:38, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Deletion is not the sole method is solving problems that you have mentioned above. In such controversial AfDs, it is expected of the nominator and its supporters to make a case to show how the article violates policy, and why the article in question is un-salvageable and there is no other way. Other than that, normal editorial functions can resolve these concerns - If parts of the article don't conform to policy, they can be aggressively removed. If the title does not conform to NPOV, change it.
In short, if you scream 'action Y' to be done because of 'reason X' and don't show why, to do 'action Y' as told is as blind as counting votes because, for the simple reason there is no case to begin with! - Mailer Diablo 05:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Seriously, I believe your dismissive attitude here about this closing is of serious concern. You have yet to address how you were able to render your decision in 7 minutes. I expect that this thread be left here until you provide me with a more mature and responsible response than the ones you have. I am not here to play games with you. Please respond here. Thank you.--MONGO 11:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
(The below thread was posted mostly on Mailer diablos usertalk, but he has refactored it here. I have never seen a more odd way to handle usertalk then this.--MONGO 12:27, 1 July 2007 (UTC))
If you remove these comments here one more time, I will file an Rfc on your actions. Do not be rude. I want an appropriate response to my question.--MONGO 11:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
I did NOT count votes, period. - Mailer Diablo 11:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Nor did you apply Wikipedia policy which you keep avoiding. This is very troubling as our core policies are extremely important to this project. JungleCatShiny!/Oohhh! 13:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
MD's closure of the AfD was appropriate, in my opinion. The article is salvageable despite it's POV problems. Perhaps you should try WP:DRV and contest against the closure? — Nearly Headless Nick{C} 16:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I was more perplexed by the inability of Mailer to explain how he could read all the comments in only 7 minutes since his last close, his dismissive attitude when I politely questioned him and the snideness of his attitude about the affair overall. I completely disagree that the article is salvagable and feel that it should be merged into already existing articles that aren't violations of SYNTH and other policies.--MONGO 21:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Really, the amount of bad faith in your first post at my talkpage is appalling. Firstly, you assumed that I counted votes, which did not even come to my mind having moved on from the Votes for Deletion era years ago. Secondly, you assumed simply from the timestamp that I took 7 minutes to go through everything and pass judgement - Yes I did take 7 minutes to close, because the day before I was at my military base spending more than an hour reading through this discussion (and other discussions on Wikipedia) and munching on my rations (do I also have to declare that?). When I came back the next day I have not seen any new substantive by those advocating deletion that is sufficient to convince me. Thirdly, you disregarded my reasoning of my close (posted as above), refused to even consider my talkpage guidelines, and decided to make further assumptions aganist me with ageist comments. This discussion is already at the wrong end of the stick to even begin with, of course it is going nowhere.
If you are still not satisfied with the decision, please take it to deletion review for recourse, I'm sure the community will be more than happy to determine its fairness, policy and thought into it. - Mailer Diablo 17:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I suggest that if editors come to you and question you about some of your closings, and you aren't able to remain considerate of their request for clarification, that you not close difficult Afd's. Yes, I do not see how you closed the Afd in 7 minutes. I am not the only one who questioned that...we have a right to question that and a right to not be dismissed by you with such a flippant response. I have a lot of respect for your work overall and I do thank you for all you do, but I also expect you to be able to explain your actions more adequately in the future. Again, if being questioned when you close such Afd's makes you defensive and short in your responses, then stay away from them. Shall I just archive all this now? Where shall we chat about this then, since you don't permit threaded comments on your usertalk.--MONGO 05:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Seven minutes cannot be used a definitive conclusion on how much thought is given to the discussion. Rest assured that I have read the discussion fully the day before its close. Please feel free to archive this if you want to. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 11:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a LoCE member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Sale, Greater Manchester article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 07:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments in my recent RfA. However, it was unsuccessful. I am in no way disheartened, and I am working on all the constructive critisism I have received. Hopefully next time I will have sorted out everything you pointed out. If you have any further suggestions or comments, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, and I will be happy to respond. Matt/TheFearow(Talk)(Contribs)(Bot) 05:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
I happened to be looking back through some old AFDs, and noticed that about a month ago you closed Articles for deletion/The Sorcerer's Cave as a delete, even though the discussion had just one delete to one keep and three weak keeps. Nor does the case for deletion strike me as somehow better argued; the lone delete !voter only mentions a "lack of non-trivial independent sources," and the next poster cites some. I have a hard time seeing how that adds up to a delete consensus. I think that an explanation of your reasoning would help others to understand why you discounted the keeps. If you're unable to persuade me in the next couple of days (and I understand that you may not have the time to respond in your current circumstances), I'll probably take this to DRV. --Groggy DiceT | C 03:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Mailer diablo, you originally indicated here that you were interested to attend the meetup. However, due to the lack of response, the date of the meetup has been changed to November. Please refer to this page for more information. -- ZhongHan(Email) 04:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Mailer Diablo - I see you've removed the AFD-closed template from the Sorcerers Cave AfD page - are you re-opening the debate or changing your decision on it? Thanks. --Davémon 11:17, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi on the editor assistance page, you said you are up for helping people to learn about anything to do with deletion. I've been reading the AfD's for a few days and trying to chip in, but the norms for what is deleted seem to vary a lot, the notability guidlines etc are not the same as they may once have been, and someone needs to update them, IMHO. Anyway I was after someone helping me learn what is deleted and what's not nowadays, so I don't get too AfD happy lol. So really I just want someone I can message at their talk page occassionally if I'm stumped about anything to do with AfDs. Hope you can help, or no someone who can.Merkinsmum 12:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
The Anime South article was re-created and immediately deleted. At the very least, this should not have been a Speedy Deletion. 15 new citations created an article which allows it to meet Wikipedia notability guidelines. I would appreciate any comments you have in the Anime South deletion review. Since the article's deletion prevents it from being reviewed, the citations are listed below:

Hi there Mailer diablo. You don't know me, but I've used some of you page design on my new userpage. I gave you credit, so I hope you don't mind me stealing borrowing it ;) If you do have any comments, or wish me not to use anything, please just say. Thanks a lot. Great# 8 20:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
