Yes, the user who declined your AFD is an administrator and is entitled to make that sort of decision. No, you cannot do the same with AFD discussions because you are not an administrator.

I don't know if it makes a difference to how you feel about it, but I actually agree with the decision to keep the article. There are numerous articles for people who's sole "claim to fame" is that they died and made news headlines. The other winter olympic deceased also have their own articles, so the precedent is set.

I can understand your viewpoint, but Wikipedia is a concensus based community. The concensus, due to the existence of the other mentioned articles, is for this article to be kept. Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 23:25, 13 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

There seems to be a clear consensus here, supported by existing precedent and policy, that Kumaritashvili was notable as an athlete prior to his death, demonstrated by his selection for membership of an Olympic team based on his previous elite sporting achievements. Hence the speedy keep. See WP:ATHLETE and WP:SNOW for rationale. -- The Anome (talk) 23:56, 13 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I understand this. I thought he was an obscure man with a long name only. Sorry. Revenge No (talk) 00:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Please unblock me. I got a little angry but I am calm now. I thought that the man who died in the Olympics was not notable and that non-notable people have articles that start with "Death of (insert name). Instead, the AFD was speedily closed and I was blocked for disruption. Filing an AFD is not disruptive except for obvious cases of notable articles. Please note that I did not vandalize. In fact, I was a victim of vandalizing when someone mistakenly reversed an edit and also reversed the AFD tag (removing an AFD tag for an actively open AFD is vandalism). Note that Blueboy96 both closed the AFD then blocked me for life, not just a day. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Your edits are not typical of a new user- you seem familiar with policies and disagreements that most new users would not be aware of. This contribution history looks more like that of someone who has been involved in some AfD that made her unhappy, and is now trying to make a point by nominating some unrelated article for deletion. The "Revenge" username seems to support that hypothesis. It's not possible for me to evaluate your request without knowing what your other username is, and what the other discussion was that caused you to need a 'revenge' account, but in general, you should make all of your edits from that primary account, not create additional accounts.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
