Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas J. Lynch Jr.
Yet another in a series of problematic nominations from an editor who fails to read articles or understand Wikipedia:Deletion policy,  or . Of the four articles Rusf10 targeted for mass deletion, two are for individuals who had served in the New Jersey General Assembly, including Joseph C. Irwin (listed here) and the nomination for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles H. Boud for which Rusf10 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Charles_H._Boud&action=history "accidentally nominated wrong article". For the other two articles, Rusf10 has been repeatedly admonished to consider alternatives to deletion and has persistently refused to do so. Both of the articles for non-Assembly members -- Ray Kramer and Thomas J. Lynch Jr. -- should have been considered for merge / redirect to List of Monmouth County Freeholder directors per policy, which Rusf10 stubbornly refuses to comply, and for which the nominator offers no explanation for refusing to consider the option to comply with Wikipedia:Deletion policy,  or , an approach that would have been supported by the overwhelming majority of editors. As stated in the header of this and every other AfD, and as ignored here, '''"When discussing an article, remember to consider alternatives to deletion. If you think the article could be a disambiguation page, redirected or merged to another article, then consider recommending "Disambiguation", "Redirect" or "Merge" instead of deletion. Similarly, if another editor has proposed an alternative to deletion but you think the article should be deleted instead, please elaborate why."'''{{pb}}Two of the articles never should have been considered for deletion and the other two should default to merge / redirect. Rusf10 is zero for four here. |Competence is required in Wikipedia, particularly in matters of deletion; Rusf10 has demonstrated a fundamental lack of competence here. After a speedy keep, the nominator should spend the requisite time to review and demonstrate a meaningful understanding of Wikipedia policy before any further such nominations and the disruption they cause
