• [[WP:DEORPHAN]] edit.
• [[WP:DEORPHAN]] edit. Removed orphan template.

• {{Db-g10}}
• I'm nominating this under criterion [[WP:G10|G10]] as I don't believe it's appropriate to draw attention to it with a RfD for this matter, considering it pertains to the [[WP:DEADNAME]] of a living individual. This deadname is not mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia. [[WP:RFD#DELETE]] #3 states "The redirect is offensive or abusive, (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.)" and deadnaming a trans person is considered both offensive and abusive.

• I'm nominating this under criterion [[WP:G10|G10]] as I don't believe it's appropriate to initiate a RfD for this matter, considering it pertains to a [[WP:DEADNAME]] of a living individual which is already under strict oversight sanction on Wikipedia. This deadname is not mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia. [[WP:RFD#DELETE]] #3 states "The redirect is offensive or abusive, (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.)" and deadnaming a trans person is considered both offensive and abusive.

To provide additional information, a copyeditor for The Signpost has included Doug Weller's response a few weeks after the RfA closed:

@HouseBlaster I'd completely forgotten about this. I'm not sure why I didn't respond to your earlier response. It's an excellent question. I don't have an answer. I do know that if I had a lot of friends living near me, I would want to have a party before I died. I remember seeing a movie where a Shakespearean actress who was dying did this and I thought it was a great idea. But I don't know how to transfer it to Wikipedia. Do you have any suggestions?

Ideas to keep in my userspace per my uncertainty about the time and technical limitations they would take to implement.

• 01:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Signpost: namespace. The Signpost has long outgrown the Wikipedia: namespace. It is a walled garden that is isolated from everything else in the Wikipedia: namespace.
• 01:15, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – When the webpage of a piece loads, similar to a section redirect, jump down to have The Signpost header appear at the top. The reader can scroll up to view the Wikipedia header if they wish.
• 01:16, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Column titled 'Gazette' which includes all of the recent newsletters (such as Administrators' newsletter and The Bugle). I believe the Admin newsletter is updated monthly, so if there are two issues of The Signpost in the same month, it'll be the same in both.
• 01:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Retire signpost.news website as an unnecessary duplicate. Keep the domain and mask the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost part, so links to Wikipedia can also be masked as https://en.signpost.news/2024-01-01/Discussion_report.
• 01:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Create usergroup 'Signposter' and restrict viewing of some Signpost pages to writers of The Signpost. I believe this is already technically possible in MediaWiki. It is confusing to me why the pieces are public before they are published.
• 01:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Create scroll subscription template by series. Readers have different interests. Like on my userpage (which is a hodgepodge mess) those who subscribe to 'hoaxes' and/or 'arbitration' will only see those pieces in their template.
