Well, let's see--- Although there's a page for suggested mergers (or at least I think still is--there at least used to be, but it is visited by hardly anybody...), the only merger reviews I know of are on article talkpages. I've never even participated in a review of an AfD but I think in this case it might prevail simply due to the fact that the preponderance of the valid points within the AfD (and perhaps even an actual count of the !votes by participants in it) seem to weigh in against merger due to undue weight concerns, IMO.--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 04:48, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-02-03T04:48:00.000Z","author":"Hodgdon's secret garden","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Hodgdon's_secret_garden-2012-02-03T04:48:00.000Z-Hmmm","replies":[]}}-->
The decision to merge appears to be a case of trying to split the baby, where possibly Merge is seen as a midway point between Keep and Delete. At least in my opinion, there was no consensus on the Seamus AfD page -- 7 votes to Keep, 6 votes to Merge, and 6 votes to Delete, with many in each group having varying opinions on why the article should be kept, merged, or deleted.Debbie W.04:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-02-03T04:56:00.000Z","author":"Dwainwr123","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dwainwr123-2012-02-03T04:56:00.000Z-Hmmm","replies":["c-Hodgdon's_secret_garden-2012-02-03T05:05:00.000Z-Dwainwr123-2012-02-03T04:56:00.000Z","c-Hodgdon's_secret_garden-2012-02-03T05:28:00.000Z-Dwainwr123-2012-02-03T04:56:00.000Z","c-Hodgdon's_secret_garden-2012-02-03T06:55:00.000Z-Dwainwr123-2012-02-03T04:56:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Debbie W."}}-->

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Campaign for "romney" neologism until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.
Hi, sorry about this. Someone nominated the article for speedy deletion as "not having an assertion of significance or importance".

Although I disagree with you as to whether the more recent campaign has achieved the same notability as the older campaign (note my comment on the AfD), it's always satisfying when sensible people can achieve reasonable compromise.

Actually, many article on alcohol laws don't have flags; Wisconsin, for example. And I'd advocate removal on all the ones that do on the same grounds of pointless decoration. The maps are a bit different, as they provide some context for international readers that might not know where a given state is located, but the flags don't add anything. oknazevad (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-03-04T16:21:00.000Z","author":"Oknazevad","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Oknazevad-2012-03-04T16:21:00.000Z-Re:_Alcohol_laws_of_New_Jersey","replies":[]}}-->

Good on ya! Don't let the others scare you aware from doing justice to this article. The debate will probably get more heated now that you went and posted on an administrative noticeboard but that should be a good thing. And the fact that Google search for "Seamus the dog" brings up the article as #1. Don't get discouraged if nothing comes from the admin board right now.

Thanks for the note on my talkpage. The % of such speedy deletes that are bad may not be high (I'm not sure), but even one bad deletion like that is unacceptable to me--we have PRODs and AFDs to deal with anything that's not total gobbledygook, to make sure these mistakes aren't made.

This edit was incorrectly identified as vandalism in your edit summary when you reverted it. I'm sure it was just an oversight, but if not I wanted to let you know that WP has a very specific definition of vandalism and it is characterized by a deliberate attempt to harm the encyclopedia. Any edit made in good faith, even if it's a bad edit, is outside the realm of vandalism. In fact, neither disruptive editing nor personal attacks are considered to be vandalism.

You uploaded File:Robert Crandall.jpg as your "own work", but from this exchange with XB70Valyrie (talk·contribs), who had previously uploaded the same image as non-free, it is quite obvious that this is false. If lying about authorship is among the "tricks" that you are willing to use to win "battles over photos", then this project is not the right place for you. It seems you have used the same trick when re-uploading File:Nathaniel Raymond.jpg as free and own work on Commons, after first uploading it as somebody else's work and seeing it deleted.
I have blocked you indefinitely.

Unblock
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
I believe that I should not receive an indefinite block for my actions. I acknowledge that I should not have attempted to evade Wikipedia's copyright policies. I did so because I was deeply frustrated with delays and rejections in getting images approved. In terms of the 3 images in question, I had obtained written permission from Physicians for Human Rights to release the copyright of the picture of Nathaniel Raymond, but the OTRS office rejected the copyright release on the grounds that it did not specify the exact level of copyright release. I went back to Physicians for Human Rights with the standard Wikipedia permission form, and they had no clue what I was talking about -- most of the world outside of Wikipedia is very unfamiliar terms such as a "Creative Commons CC0 1.0". With theRobert Crandall photo, my understanding is that User:XB70Valyrie had the same image battle, and so I agreed to help him. The third image, on the Wineries, Breweries, and Distilleries of New Jersey page, was made by my brother. He took a Google map of New Jersey, and manually added icons for the locations of wineries, breweries, and distilleries. I do a substantial amount to text editting, and only rarely deal with pictures. I am requesting that my account be unblocked with the stipulation that I will never again upload an image in any part of Wikimedia.
Decline reason:
Sorry, but since it turns out you've been abusing multiple accounts, I've blocked the other accounts and am not leaving this one blocked. The amount of edits from both of your accounts on "Seamus"-related material makes it quite obvious that something improper is going on -- either both accounts are the same person, or it is two people working in concert with each other, on the same computer. --jpgordon::==( o )13:35, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-05-15T13:35:00.000Z","author":"Jpgordon","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jpgordon-2012-05-15T13:35:00.000Z-Unblock","replies":[]}}-->
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

We may share some of the same interests, but we don't edit together. I don't see what the issue is here.

The issue is that if you are currently both editing from the same IP, that suggests you are both editing from the same computer, or at least from the same network in the same building, which implies there's more than just a work connection that ended in November. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:19, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-05-15T07:19:00.000Z","author":"Boing! said Zebedee","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Boing!_said_Zebedee-2012-05-15T07:19:00.000Z-Dwainwr123-2012-05-15T03:29:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Note: just came here to say that as far as the image stuff is concerned I wouldn't object to an unblock under the conditions stated (no more image uploads), but now that a socking suspicion is also on the table, I'll hold off from an unblock until that is clarified. HHIAdm has obviously edited in direct support of Dwainwr123 on several occasions [1][2], including during this block [3], [4], so if socking should be substantiated, we have a serious issue.

A few thoughts:
(1) HHIAdm should not have the same IP address as me. Although we are still affiliated with the same campus (college-affiliated tech incubator), we haven't worked for the same company since November.
(2) Although there are a few articles which both HHIAdm and I editted, there are a number of articles which I regularly edit that HHIAdm has nothing to do with -- Drew University, Alcohol laws of New Jersey, St. Padre Pio Shrine, We Can't Wait.
(3) While you can find examples of where HHIAdm and I took similiar positions, there are plenty of other times when we did not agree. I take offense at the allegation that he is somehow my lackey or meat puppet. Here are some examples:
I was a political opponent of Debbie W. on the Seamus article. I don't think that she and HHIAdm are the same person. Their edits and styles are clearly different.

Additionally, see this [5]. Debbie was reporting me for edit warring, then HHI came in and said no violation, and she rapidly agreed. That is suggestive of two people who know each other fairly well but are still independent people.William Jockusch (talk) 00:19, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-06-25T00:19:00.000Z","author":"William Jockusch","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-William_Jockusch-2012-06-25T00:19:00.000Z-Unblock","replies":[]}}-->
