Category:Anarchist writers – Undeleted. Closed early per unanimous consensus. Sandstein 09:14, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anarchist writers (talk`\|`edit`\|`history`\|`logs`\|`links`\|`watch) (XfD`\|`restore) I believe consensus was interpreted incorrectly for this deletion. The category was deleted as part of a broader deletion of Category:Anarchists by occupation and its sub-categories. But aside from the nominator, everyone who supported deletion of the other categories said that Category:Anarchist writers was an exception and should be retained. In other words, the actual consensus was to retain Category:Anarchist writers and delete the others. Jd4v15 (talk) 18:52, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] Restore. It looks like the closer, Good Olfactory, hasn't been editing for almost a year. In any case, I agree, this looks like a mistake in the close that should be corrected. Most of the delete comments did indeed explicitly include this as an exception. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:22, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] Not just most - nobody commenting in that discussion supported deletion of this category except for the nominator. I'm surprised nobody brought this up, either here or with the closer, before now. —Cryptic 20:39, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] The problem is that the XfD was attended by a bunch of Anarchist wikipedians. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] Restore to delete something you need the support of at least one person other than the nominator, so there was no consensus for the deletion of that category. Hut 8.5 06:41, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] Restore (this category alone); this was clearly an oversight. – Fayenatic London 07:25, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] Restore this category alone. The closer User:Good Olfactory is usually a conscientious and reasonable admin, so I assume that this was just an oversight which he'd be happy to remedy if he was around. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:57, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] Restore Consensus was clear to keep that specific category alone. SportingFlyer T·C 21:37, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply] Restore Seems like a pretty straightforward oversight. – Levivich 04:37, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
