Does anybody have a pic of an original cabinet they could post? Maybe the person above with one for sale can help us out on this one? --

@
Mz7, the
procedural close was invalid.
SK#1, which would be the usual close for an AfD that recommends something other than straight-up deletion, has changed in the last year to allow for redirect and merge suggestions in the nom, effectively leaving no way to close a discussion that isn't about straight-up deletion. In any event, please revert your edit. –

@
Czar: I am aware of the change to the speedy keep guideline as I participated in that discussion last year. The result of that discussion was that deletion nominations that only advocated for a redirect could not be closed as "speedy keep". Merging is not the same thing as redirecting, however, as merging preserves content, while redirects hide content. Articles that are nominated to AfD solely to discuss merging are still closed as speedy keep per
WP:SK#1. Although I still think my close was valid, I will reverse my closure since I'm a non-admin and leave the decision to an administrator. However, please be aware that this may lead to the situation of having to nominate the two other articles for deletion to discuss whether they should be merged.

Thanks. I don't think a re-nomination will be necessary. We have a consensus and 24 hours of bureaucratic obligation to go. –

@
Czar: Looking back on the closure in hindsight, I do think now it was a rather bureaucratic thing to do—I also ignored the fact that your position was still for deletion at the time of closure. My apologies for wasting time. The new
Nintendo arcade machines article looks great. —
