- Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, however no changes to the filter were made. Codename Noreste, if you have any suggestions for how to fix that logic issue, or could pinpoint where it is, feel free to drop a note to the mailing list. I've had a look and don't see anything blatant. EggRoll97 (talk) 16:52, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

- Description
- Trying to remove AfD notice after discussion closed as speedy keep. I suppose the filter is working as-written in principle (I'm not extendedconfirmed) but it'd be nice to be able to actually fully self-close an AfD per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#Withdrawing_a_nomination and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#Procedure_for_non-administrator_close_(nominator_withdrawal).

- Hailey Welch (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I was attempting to make a page about the internet celebrity Hailey Welch, as I thought she was famous enough to deserve a wikipedia page. I believe the false positive was from some of the language I may have used in the article. I didn't say anything inappropriate or derogatory, it was most likely my use of internet slang such as "brainrot". I apologize if my work was bad, but I would like to have this article published.
