Page originally created as Chip Merlin and deleted pursuant to this discussion back in May. Article recreated by another user as an alternative name William Merlin . Still fails notability. CNMall41 (talk) 18:08, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - After the SOCKs in the original discussion were blocked and page deleted, new user comes to Talk:S/V_Merlin (a yacht owned by the subject of the deleted page) and argued for a new page for him. After being told the subject was not notable, page was recreated under alternative name. Approved through AfC and will ping the reviewer who likely did not see it was previously deleted as it was submitted under alternative name. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

- I too thought the notability was marginal when I accepted the draft. I have no opinions either way. Ca talk to me! 22:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. I have recently undertaken a project to make sure that we have articles on the top 250 largest law firms in the United States, of which we currently have about 200. On the basis of that investigation, I can definitively say that this firm is not even in the top thousand. The firm founded by this individual is not encyclopedically notable, and the individual is somewhat less so. BD2412 T 22:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I understand the complex situation I’m navigating, especially given the past involvement of editors who submitted this page. I appreciate your efforts in addressing malicious users and problematic content. However, experiences like this discourage individuals, including myself, from pursuing the article creation process in the future, which I believe is contrary to the platform’s intent. That said, I respect the community’s decision. I had believed the owner of the S/V Merlin met Wikipedia’s notability requirements, but it seems I placed too much emphasis on that belief.

- Your comment seems like a veiled accusation that my nomination was somehow in bad faith. We are here at this AfD as it was discussed with you after the last deletion that the subject was not notable and yet you pursued the creation of the page anyway.--CNMall41 (talk) 06:37, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
