Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mirta

Common name dicdef. Originally on CSD, but I didn't think it was a proper candidate. TPK 11:19, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Um, er, I guess I did think it a proper candidate, and deleted it. I will restore it if anyone thinks the delete was improper and it should be restored. All it said was something to the effect that 'mirta is a spanish name that means the same as martha or martin in english'. If it does come back, obviously, my vote would be Delete.

  • Sorry for being a stickler, but which of thespecific cases for speedy deletion do you think this met? Rossami
    • I guess it seemed like a cross between #2 and #4. To be honest, if I had run into it on newpages patrol, or if I knew at the time it had been put on VfD, I wouldn't have deleted it. I found it because someone else had tagged it as a speedy candidate, and at the time I was probably thinking I was just 'seconding' their motion. This is also why I usually try to stick with only the most obvious cases (EG content="save page" or random letters) that show up on the speedy cat. I fix, redir, or vfd speedy cat items (or just leave them alone and let a more experienced admin make the call) far more often than I delete them. In hindsight, a) I should have held it to the same standard I use on newpages and done something other than delete it, and b) once I found the vfd listing should have just gone back and restored it and let nature take its course.
