I'm surprised at the outcome as well; Yoast SEO is probably the gold-standard for that type of functionality on WordPress, itself the most widely-used CMS on the internet. At least one person favoring delete didn't realize that (thinking the product was two weeks old), and the comments in general didn't really engage with the topic. I realize that this doesn't translate into passing the GNG, but I would be shocked if sources didn't exist and the article deserves a better debate than what it got so far.

:{{Done}} to be clear I don't give Jimbo's opinion any weight as he has been out of synch for community expectations for retention for a very long time but the disparity between the first and second AFD are quite marked. When two well respected and sensible editors ask for a relist with reasonable grounds I would have to be extremely churlish not to give the AFD more time.

:::Thanks, you had a good close based on the local consensus, so I appreciate the chance to look further into the subject.

I used to follow Rebeccagreen, but her editing fell off a while ago. 7&6 is an editor I thoroughly respect, as I also respect Dream Focus, Green C and Andrew Davidson.

So much so that they are willing to sacrifice content in order to hurt ARS. Lev has AfDd articles I started and tried to sink DYKs that the group nominates, he even recently helped sink one for a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive322#Andy_Auld_(Royal_Navy_officer) DYK that was approved]. I find that my life is better if I spend time creating content or improving content. I see why you are an admin, you are measured, accurate and fair. Sorry for dumping this on your talk page.

I'm a long term user (first edit 2006) and have been an admin on or off since 2017. That makes me a bit stuck in my ways but I have the benefit of experience and working through many of the changes that have left us where we are. I am getting grumpy. Sorry but all the drama and grief has washed away a lot of my younger idealism...
A BLP is a serious matter and needs to be properly sourced.
I mostly work on deletion discussions. I am willing to userfy deleted articles for improvement as long as there is a reasonable likelihood that they can be saved. If you are challenging a deletion, do you have three good sources? Also, don’t waste your time asking me to review a close or you are going to DRV because I’m not going to review a close with a sword hanging over my head. Just raise the DRV or ask someone else.

- Please don't leave talkback templates as I always watchlist pages when I edit and I'm perfectly capable of looking for a reply myself.
Hello, I want to ask if you will consider backing out the closing of this AfD and relist? The article was a strong keep as (Yoast) in August 2919. User High King then gave the article a name change, and the original participants did not know that the article was up for deletion. In the Yoast AfD even JW !voted to keep. Keep - 100 employees, multiple reliable sources, notable product.--Jimbo Wales
. I want to be clear that I am not accusing you of a bad close of the Yoast SEO AfD. I am just asking for a relist. Lightburst (talk) 23:14, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
