[edit] Sirup

Sirup (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Neologism and probably nonsense. Should be redirected to Syrup, as it was until Feb 11 when a one-edit user created it. SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 05:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

  • If it's just a matter of redirecting the article, it would have been better to just do the redirect rather than bring it up here at AfD. The page has been repeatedly reverted to the current state, as well, and had been previously protected. The proper course of action would have been to revert to the valid redirect and then request page protection since apparently the anon is back. Since no one else has voted delete, if you'd like to withdraw the AfD nomination we can close it early and get that done. Arkyan • (talk) 15:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
That would be fine. How do I withdraw? I wasn't sure, given the activity on the page, if it needed to be brought up here and thought I'd be safe about it :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Just be bold and revert the page to the redirect, saying that's the action you want to take here is as good as withdrawing a request - there is no "formal" method of withdrawing a nomination. After you revert it to a redirect you may want to list it up at WP:RFP to request that it be protected, and be sure to point out that it has been protected in the past and the questionable content was re-added after the protection expired. For future reference, if you ever want to take some kind of action like redirecting or merging and it seems questionable, consider listing the article on WP:RFC to seek more community input :) Arkyan • (talk) 15:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
