I came here to basically say the same thing, the kitten did not occur to me. I sincerely hope that after a couple weeks of activity the community comes to its senses and you get your admin bit back without controversy.

Hey BMIcomp,

I stalk {{user|Brambleclawx}}'s talk page and was curious as to why you un-reviewed the aforementioned page. Best, [[User:Airplaneman|<span style="color:blue;size=2">Airplaneman</span>]][[User talk:Airplaneman|<span style="color:#33dd44;size=2">  ✈</span>]] 00:54, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion converted to PROD: [[:Clamtrek]] ==
Hello Bmicomp, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I have converted the [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] tag that you placed on [[:Clamtrek]] to a [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion]] tag. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. You may wish to review the [[WP:CSD{{!}}Criteria for Speedy Deletion]] before tagging further pages. Thank you.  [[:en:User:GB fan|GB]]&nbsp;[[:en:User talk:GB fan|fan]] 12:34, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

:Looks like a [[WP:CSD#A11]] to me. Deleted as such.

:You said in the edit summary "'''Originally tagged [[WP:A11]] but there is no indication it was created by the author or someone they know'''" so I can only assume you confused this with [[WP:CSD#G7]]. If I have misinterpreted this feel free to correct me. [[User talk:Chillum|<b style="vertical-align:20%;text-shadow:0px 0px 4px Black;font-size:60%;color:Sienna">Chillum</b>]] 13:57, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

::I mean, I tagged the article A11 because I've noticed admins will often speedy delete an article with A11 if it's an article that was obviously made up, even if the article doesn't explicitly state that it was.  I think it really comes down to your interpretation of A11: "An article which '''plainly indicates''' that the subject was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally..." (emphasis is mine).  The question is what does plainly indicate mean?   Can we infer that the subject was coined by the creator, even if it isn't explicitly stated.  From what I've seen since my return, that appears to be the consensus among some of the admins.  [[User talk:Bmicomp|<span style="color: black; font-size: 80%; font-weight: bold;">BMIComp</span>]] 14:18, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

:Ack. I see now I have misinterpreted {{u|GB fan}}'s edit summary, it was in fact referring to A11 and not G7. I think I was confused because G11 does not talk about the author stating it was made up, but rather it refers to it plainly indicating that it was made up. I think this goes beyond statement and allows some level of judgment. A quick google of "clamtrek" shows Wikipedia and a few social media sites. It passes the "something we made up after school" test. 

:It also lacked any credible claim of significance or importance.

:Since I misinterpreted GB fan when I deleted the page I am more than happy to discuss my delete further with him(thus the ping), though I am personally satisfied that it met the criteria for A11. [[User talk:Chillum|<b style="vertical-align:20%;text-shadow:0px 0px 4px Black;font-size:60%;color:DarkSlateBlue">Chillum</b>]] 14:22, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
::{{u|Chillum}}, there are two pieces to [[WP:A11]], one is the same as [[WP:A7]], no claim to significance.  The article clearly failed that.  The other part is that it was "invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally."  This is where I feel the article failed WP:A11.  There was no indication that it was made up by the article's creator or someone they know personally.  If the criteria didn't have that part it would just be WP:A7.  I am not contesting the deletion, just that I do not believe it met the WP:A11 criterion as written.  [[:en:User:GB fan|GB]]&nbsp;[[:en:User talk:GB fan|fan]] 19:33, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
