Comment: The statement that I have been "stirring up dispute where there is none" is seriously mistaken.  There certainly is a controversy about whether Tha Hla Shwe should be a |biography of a living person or a redirect.  That controversy was there before I became involved, and I became involved only because a request was made to help resolve a controversy.  There is and has been a dispute.  There is a dispute, a blank-and-redirect dispute, and a meta-dispute, a dispute over how to resolve a dispute.  (As to anti-Myanmar prejudice, I wondered whether there was a prejudice.  If there isn't, that answers that question, but it doesn't make the blank-and-redirect dispute go away.)  If anyone is proposing that the blank-and-redirect dispute cannot be settled at AFD because it is not a true deletion dispute, I am willing to consider a suggestion for an alternate means of resolving the dispute.  Please either allow AFD to continue as a method of resolving this blank-and-redirect dispute, or propose an alternate method of resolving the blank-and-redirect dispute
