Warnings about inappropriate actions on this AfD

@Winged Blades of Godric and Störm: commenting here instead of on each of your talk pages to get all of this in one place. Reading over the history of this AfD, I've got issues with actions both of your performed.

  • Störm, you WP:NAC'd the AfD. You were involved in editing this page prior to that, which makes you WP:INVOLVED. When performing administrative actions of any kind (such as closing an AfD), you need to be scrupulous to make sure you are uninvolved.
  • Godric, you then reverted Störm's close. An admin has the right to revert a WP:NAC, but you do not. That was clearly inappropriate for you to do. Your proper course of action would have been to request help from an admin, or post on WP:DRV. You were also involved in editing the page, so you were not uninvolved either.
  • Both of you then participated in the AfD itself, so clearly both of you have opinions in the matter. Again, that means you're not uninvolved, and shouldn't be performing administrative actions.
  • Störm, it took me a while to find this, but after Godric put a note on your talk page about this, you deleted the note. You can certainly maintain your talk page however you want, but it's also a record of your interactions with the community; deleting conversations you don't like is generally considered bad form.

Both of you should consider yourself trouted. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith: Noted, will take care next time. Störm (talk) 19:26, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith:--Nonsense.You have got the timeline entirely wrong and that too, by a mile.Storm was horribly wrong to have NACd the AFD, on the very day of relist, with an additional participation of a single !voter.I thus, reverted the close purely on procedural grounds (and will continue to do so in future without entangling myself in pointless bureaucracy). It may be noted that mine vacating the close was without any considerations of the merit of Storm's close.Subsequently, I relisted the AFD again, so as to prevent the loss of a day in the next stipulated time-frame of discussion.Further down the road, I was interested enough to cast a !vote. ~ Winged BladesGodric 07:29, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
