  • As a note, I'm the one who made the list about baseball bats. And I regret it. Mobius Gerig (talk) 05:29, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Something went wrong here:

    NPROF, for example, allows college professors to have articles even if they fall far short of GNG. Conversely, GNG allows professors to have articles even if they fall far short of GNG.

On the assumption that was supposed to read, "...fall far sort of NPROF.", I've edited it that way. If that was incorrect, please fix my mistake. FeRDNYC (talk) 20:59, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this is what it was supposed to say -- although I'm sure some would argue that the original mistaken version was more correct in practice ;) jp×g 21:03, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG: I confess my quick correction was... not not motivated by a desire to avoid providing that community with any additional ammo. FeRDNYC (talk) 21:13, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oof, the hazard of proofreading (my error in this case): letting the eyeballs see what it should say and not what it does say. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can we get a "weirdest statistical correlation" category for future AfD metareports? I nominate The first nomination after I took a shot of whiskey in California. FeRDNYC (talk) 21:11, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Point of information - NSOLDIER was never an SNG, it was always just an essay, though at times it was treated like an SNG. To what extent it was deprecated, the MilHist project simply decided to stop endorsing it. WP:PORNBIO is an example of an SNG that was deprecated. -Indy beetle (talk) 05:49, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @JPxG: almost the second you spoke! - overturned for admin close. Generally right response in the DRV, but belief that it should be a) closed by an admin and b) needs a detailed close explanation Nosebagbear (talk) 10:40, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Why Wikipedia Sucks was closed as speedy keep: wrong venue because Why Wikipedia Sucks is not an article, but a redirect; the subsequent RFD closed as no consensus. As such, it probably doesn't belong in the Kept articles with freaky titles list. Lennart97 (talk) 13:44, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The person nominating the Tek Fog article (whose lede says its a software used by India's infamous political party the BJP) getting indef'd because their username was an obscene phrase in Hindi is hardly a surprise -Gouleg🛋️ harass/hound 14:32, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
