[edit] Bahai manifestations of God

Just a quick response. I'll certainly be happy to take a second look at the debate. Obviously I feel reasonably content with the closure, but there's no harm in reviewing things. For the time being the deletion of the category has been placed on hold. I am not able to deal with this immediately, but as soon as I have some free time I'll re-examine the nomination and see if the debate suggests another outcome. --Xdamr^talk 06:32, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Right then, I've taken another look at the debate. In judging how to close a debate, weight of numbers is not the decisive factor. On the other hand it is most certainly something which needs to be looked at and taken into account. By my reading we had a 7-3 split in favour of deletion. That said, it is informed consensus that the closing admin tries to identify. This means factoring in relevant policy arguments, assessing their strength in terms of each side of the debate, and coming to a final conclusion taking into account broader en.wiki norms.

Basically, from my reading, the debate boiled down to two key arguments. On the keep side was the fact that these manifestations are significant in the Bahá'í faith. I'm no expert in the area, but I have no difficulty accepting that fact. On the other hand, the delete view seemed to chiefly centre around the fact that the Bahá'í view of these various deities etc is not one of their key, defining characteristics. To that end WP:UNDUE was cited. I'm sure you followed the arguments closely enough to identify this key dividing line yourself. Factoring in the weight of numbers, I came to the conclusion that deletion was to be preferred. There is no question that there should be an article on this topic, but in terms of this Cfd debate I was persuaded that the Bahá'í view of these various deities, given the relatively small size of the faith, was not one of their defining characteristics.

[edit] Template state

The state = {{{state<includeonly>|autocollapse</includeonly>}}} sets autocollapse as the default, but allows each instance of the template's use to specify another state, by piping, for instance state=collapsed. Sach (talk) 20:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

I haven't had time to do much more than a cursory check of your contributions, so at present I don't feel comfortable lifting the ban, especially as it has only been in place a short time. I suggest we review it in the New Year. I'm also concerned that you mark nearly every edit as minor, which conflicts with best practise. Please ensure you have not placed a tick in the checkbox in your editing preferences which reads "Mark all edits minor by default". Edits such as this and this do not meet the definition of a minor edit. Hiding T 09:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion

Please note that I have nominated Category:Philosophy of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi for deletion. Please feel free to add your comments. I would suggest that articles which are specific to Gandhi, such as Seven Blunders of the World, are moved to Category:Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. nirvana2013 (talk) 09:53, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
