Discussion[edit]

• @Primefac: Any reason why we wouldn't supervise this run? 161 pages is not that many. I am tempted to say this doesn't even need approval, as even a "manual" run wouldn't take that long — MusikAnimal ^talk 23:41, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  MusikAnimal, you're probably right. I got so carried up in the request and getting it filed that I didn't even think about the fact that it's a relatively small job. Primefac (talk) 01:03, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  Out of curiosity, should I withdraw or would a supervised bot run be acceptable? I'm not particularly fussed either way, mostly curious about which account to use or if this should be withdrawn. Primefac (talk) 02:04, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  @Primefac: In my opinion, withdrawing and doing a semi-auto run using your main account would be best in terms of getting this done quickly. Note that the BRFA process is quite backlogged at the moment. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 08:06, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
