Imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Established policy provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of January 2023.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 01:02, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I just saw that you deleted this page per G3 as a blatant hoax. However, I was doing some research, and am not fully convinced this is a hoax, and even if it is one, it's not immediately obvious. [1] and [2] appear to describe a painting by this name and artist and predate the creation of the en.wiki article. Additionally, since this article was three years old, I strongly suspect that if it were an obvious enough hoax to qualify for G3, it would have been deleted long ago. As such, I believe it may be a good idea to reverse this deletion and send the article to AfD (with the tagger's rationale), and there seek consensus as to whether this is a hoax and should be deleted. I'm asking you in the interest of not wheel warring. Complex/Rational 18:56, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- @ComplexRational: Happy to revert if you're questioning it and start an AfD. I did find some potential examples of art connected to title/name but it was very different and neither a painting or similarly styled which made me lean towards it being correctly labeled as a hoax but imo any question on a speedy is good enough to talk more :D . I've reverted my template adjustment, will undelete and start a discussion shortly. James of UR (talk) 19:04, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking this into consideration. Once you open the AfD, I'll copy my comment there. I'm unsure about this myself because I did see three different artworks, but considering their label and sourcing, hopefully a discussion can clear this up. Complex/Rational 19:16, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- For sure, discussion started I linked the german discussion etc there too for folks. James of UR (talk) 19:23, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
