So the
Wikipedia Watch redirect that I speedy-deleted was restored after
this DRV failed (IMG:

I guess the next step is RfD, so I'll create a request to have it deleted later today. To be honest, after Brandt's callous disregard of a child's safety, my heart's just not in this at all. But it still needs to be done, I guess - do the right thing.
Expect a drama-laden DRV later today (IMG:

No one has yet explained to me what actual damage the redirect is doing, other than hurting Daniel Brandt's feelings (who, after his latest antics, deserves no sympathy whatsoever). Maybe Alison will enlighten me in her rationale at RFD.
It's simply non-notable. Honestly. Wikipedia needs to disconnect from Brandt as much as Brandt needs to disconnect from Wikipedia & inane redirs like this are just stoking the fires - on
all sides.
The good part, I guess, is that the redirect has now been fully-protected which will at least dissuade someone from attempting to create (another useless) article there.
BTW - More people on Hivemind today, though no children and all are admins this time. Today, it's the turn of Balloonman, Tanthalas39 and Kingturtle
*, and it seems that Rebecca (former admin/cu/arb/os) has made a re-appearance. He's also taken the time to update my own pic & for some reason, has added information relating to a family member of mine who doesn't edit Wikipedia. Dunno what precipitated that ....
A quick check shows that Daniel Brandt and his sites are all largely gone from Wikipedia now, thank goodness. Having said that, I don't think Hivemind will be taken down any time soon, though he's hinted at it in the recent past. Let's take a look;
I personally went around and
{{NOINDEX}}d as many pages mentioning Mr. Brandt by name as I possibly could, and courtesy-blanked every AfD and DRV I could find. It's hard to really find anything left ....
(* - what is it with Wikipedia admins and ukelele playing??!!)
