Draftification of Philip Chronican[edit]
Hello Ratnahastin. Just letting you know as a courtesy, I have undone your draftification the article Philip Chronican because I believe it meets WP:GNG. If you disagree, feel free to discuss or nominate for AfD. — GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Templating the regulars[edit]
This is not how Deletion Review normally works, and please don't send messages like this to good-faith contributors "warning" them about not assuming good faith at that venue. I have reverted your template addition to Robert's talk page. Regards, Daniel (talk) 05:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Daniel: You can read WP:TTR. You are not allowed to remove people's comment from talk pages outside your own unless those messages are outright offensive but that was not a case here. I would further note that you actually misused WP:ROLLBACK (see WP:ROLLBACKUSE) by reverting my message. Ratnahastin (talk) 05:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you have a concern with Robert's post, have the decency to write him a personalised message expressing your concerns. He is a DRV regular who is very well respected and has been on the project for nearly two decades. A drive-by templating of him with an accusation of not assuming good faith is not on. Daniel (talk) 05:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- You have already said it and I have addressed why I used a template. However, this reply of yours does not address the concerns I have raised about your own actions. Ratnahastin (talk) 06:02, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I will rollback my rollback and remove the message manually. I stand by my removal of the templating of a regular in this situation, especially considering this overlaps the fringes of a contentious topic. I repeat my urging for you to write a custom message if you still wish to have a conversation with Robert about any issues with his post at DRV (which I do not see any assumptions of bad faith within). If you have an ongoing issue with my removal of your templating of a regular in this situation, please feel free to escalate it to the administrators' noticeboard or any other venue you see fit. Daniel (talk) 06:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I will write a manual message once you have undid your removal and it will be quick.
- As for taking you to WP:AN or elsewhere, I won't do that because you have been collaborative even in this discussion so far. Ratnahastin (talk) 06:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
