Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. - ^theWOLFchild 01:12, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Trump University

Hello! You recently moved the article Trump University to Trump Entrepreneur Institute. I have moved it back. An article like that - high visibility, longstanding, and known by a particular title for a long time (in this case more than 10 years) - should not be moved unilaterally or without discussion and consensus. It would require a Requested Move discussion. You can discuss this at the article's talk page if you want. Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 21:56, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

MelanieN, how did Searingjet manage to do a G6 deletion? I thought you had to be an admin for that? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:33, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

DrFleischman: They didn't have to. There was no pre-existing article or redirect called "Trump Entrepreneur Institute," so there was nothing that needed deleting. And the article is only move protected at the semi-protection level, so there was no reason they couldn't move it. It WAS necessary to do a G6 deletion to move it back, but luckily I have the tools to do that. --MelanieN (talk) 18:55, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

So why does the log say they deleted the Trump Entrepreneur Institute redirect when they did the first move? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:58, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Huh! "Delete by overwriting" is a new one on me. Whatever it was, it destroyed the previous history, which is why I assumed (from looking at the history) that there was no previous article. I'll look into this, it's an ability I was unaware of. --MelanieN (talk) 19:21, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

@DrFleischman: Well, here's the answer: WP:MOR, "move over redirect". It turns out that a non-admin can delete the redirect page in the way of a move, provided the redirect page has no significant history. This is the only way a non-admin's name can appear in the delete log. So, I learned something today. Thank you, Searingjet, for hosting this educational discussion on your talk page! --MelanieN (talk) 22:13, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for finding this out for me! A useful tool indeed! --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 22:52, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

National Cycle Route 88

If you had looked at the history of this article, you would have seen that it has always been a redirect, from a specific topic to a more general umbrella article. Someone messed with it by blanking it - I have reinstated the original redirect. Colonies Chris (talk) 17:43, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
