Found this 2021 ref https://thesophian.com/so-why-is-the-smith-confessional-still-popular-on-campus/. No strong opinion either way. - Indefensible (talk) 16:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this innocuous bit of dryer lint of an idea will spark some inferno of Wiki politics, but I question whether I should have listed this article for Proposed Deletion to begin with. Since Proposed Deletion results in a deletion if there are no objections, and there are no objections here, perhaps it should be deleted. • the solemn one (talk) 23:49, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's your call, • the solemn one, that's what some editors do, sometimes start with CSD, then PROD, then AFD. It's not always appropriate but it happens. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:29, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that, since the article has now been nominated at AFD, it can't be listed for PROD? • the solemn one (talk) 15:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, if an article has been sent to AFD, it can't be PROD'd later because PRODs are for "uncontroversial deletions". A deletion that goes through an AFD deletion discussion is not consider uncontroversial because it requires the participation of editors, the examination of sources, often debate among editors.
