Closed. There has been very little discussion on the article talk page. Discuss at the article talk page. If discussion is lengthy and inconclusive, then a new request can be made here. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:28, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Closed. There are at least two problems with this thread. First, it is also being considered at WP:ANI. Second, it may violate the principle of No Legal Threats, although it may be a clumsy attempt to protect Wikipedia from legal threats. It isn't necessary to decide about the second problem, because the matter is also being considered at WP:ANI. DRN does not consider any dispute that is also pending in a conduct forum.

Closed. An Articles for Deletion discussion has been started, which is the proper way to resolve a dispute about whether an article should exist. Discuss whether the article should be deleted or kept at the AFD page. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:07, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Filed by XTLExpert001 on 21:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC).

Closed. There has not been extensive discussion on the article talk page. Discussion elsewhere, such as on user talk pages, is useful, but does not take the place of discussion on the article talk page. (Also, the filing editor has not listed the other editor or editors.) Discuss on the article talk page. If discussion is extensive and inconclusive, a new case can be opened here. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:52, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Sucharit Bhakdi

– General close. See comments for reasoning.

Filed by Gcmackay on 11:08, 23 November 2020 (UTC).

Closed for various reasons. First, the filing editor has not listed the other editors. Second, the filing editor has not attempted to discuss on the article talk page. The only use that they have made of the article talk page seems to be to post a notice of this discussion, but that notice should be on individual user talk pages. Third, the filing editor has not notified the other editors (whom they haven't listed). Discuss at the article talk page. Also, do not refer to a content dispute as vandalism. That is a personal attack. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:57, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Wow! signal

– General close. See comments for reasoning.

Filed by ExoEditor on 19:26, 20 November 2020 (UTC).

Closed for at least three reasons. First, there are multiple editors who have tried to discuss the edit, and they should all be included in a case. Second, the filing editor says that the issue needs to be addressed by administrators. The volunteers here are mostly not administrators. If there really is a conduct issue, it should be reported at WP:ANI, but there does not seem to be a conduct issue except for a violation of talk page guidelines. Third, there does appear to have been a violation of talk page guidelines by the filing editor. They should try discussing at the talk page without editing the comments of other editors, and maybe that may resolve the matter. Resume discussion at the article talk page. If the discussion is lengthy and inconclusive after following proper talk page guidelines, then a new case can be filed here if all of the editors are notified.

Closed as abandoned. None of the editors have made the statements that were requested after three days, when the ground rule says to make statements within 48 hours, and the editors were prompted to make statements. Discussion should resume at the article talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:27, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Introduction to editing page

– General close. See comments for reasoning.

Filed by Sdkb on 16:48, 25 November 2020 (UTC).

Closed. DRN is primarily a forum for small content disputes about articles. This appears to be a matter that would benefit from the involvement of other editors as well as the two who are named, and either Village pump - Proposals or Village pump - Policy is probably a forum that is more likely to get community input. If this is a conduct issue, and we hope that it is not, then WP:ANI or WP:AN is the proper forum. However, WP:VPP is likely to be the best place for this.

After sleeping on it, I believe that this would be better suited to an RfC or third opinion rather than keeping it at DR/N. We may also have Wdford manipulating sources to their benefit, which would be an admin matter. Seem plez 07:43, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Closed as abandoned by the parties, who have not made statements within 48 hours after the case was opened. There are two other problems also. First, as another volunteer notes, the filing editor has requested that a few uninvolved editors look at the article. That is done by an RFC, not by DRN. Second, there have been allegations of sockpuppetry, and allegations of conduct make it more difficult to resolve content. Report sockpuppetry at sockpuppet investigations. Either discuss content at the article talk page, or use an RFC to request outside editors. If assistance in formulating an RFC is desired, ask on a talk page.

Filed by 223.186.58.66 on 21:29, 22 November 2020 (UTC).

Closed for at least two reasons. Notice was not given to the other editor. The filing editor appears to be trying to insert a BLP violation. The filing editor may be evading a block. Discussion can resume on the article talk page. ArbCom discretionary sanctions for India and Pakistan remain in effect, as does the biographies of living persons policy.

Closed. One of the parties says that this is a conduct dispute, and another one also does not appear to be interested in content discussion. Discuss content at the article talk page, and report disruptive editing to WP:ANI. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:37, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

– General close. See comments for reasoning.

Filed by ExoEditor on 17:49, 30 November 2020 (UTC).

Closed. The filing editor has now submitted a Request for Arbitration. This noticeboard does not handle a dispute that is also pending in another forum. The Request for Arbitration is almost certain to be declined by the Arbitration Committee, but the behavior of the filing editor makes it appear very unlikely that this issue can be resolved by mediation. The filing editor has not answered the question that I asked, but instead chose to request a quasi-judicial solution. If the filing editor is not blocked as not here to contribute constructively, then the filing editor should either drop the issue or publish a Request for Comments.
