They are a minority viewpoint, but since station AfDs don't attract many people they can override policy with local "consensus" and nonsense arguments. I'm sure you noticed essentially all the keep votes were knee-jerk indignant reactions that failed to make policy-based arguments. You're far from their first victim. I was the one who launched the 2022 RfC that closed with an overwhelming consensus that train stations are not inherently notable. I started that RfC because I was tired of AfDs ending exactly like this one, where the train station clique stonewalls any argument with "but don't you know all train stations are automatically notable?!" After the RfC, they can't say that out loud, but they just find other ways to imply it. Some people seem to have an issue following that consensus. I recommend a more pointed RfC aimed at defeating the "how dare you AfD a train station on the British railway network! They're all notable just by existing" arguments from this AfD. And if that doesn't work, then ANI is the next step. I've been here over three years and this problem is far older than my tenure here. <a href="/wiki/User:Trainsandotherthings" title="User:Trainsandotherthings">Trainsandotherthings</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Trainsandotherthings" title="User talk:Trainsandotherthings">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Matrix#c-Trainsandotherthings-20240909204600-Riddlesdown_railway_station" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Trainsandotherthings-20240909204600-Riddlesdown_railway_station"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Trainsandotherthings-20240909204600-Riddlesdown_railway_station"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Matrix-20240910155700-Trainsandotherthings-20240909204600"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Trainsandotherthings" title="User:Trainsandotherthings">Trainsandotherthings</a>:</span> Another note, sometimes RFCs don't work!

As soon as something can possibly have a copyright interpretation, the processes are so opaque and unreasonable that no sane person should ever be subjected to it. I don't build article content that builds upon copyrighted images hosted on Commons for clarity or demonstration for the same reason. I contribute to Commons with BSicons and images of the basic units of writing systems, and that's about it. I take up this fight every time it comes up because I don't want anyone else to go through what I did.

But more importantly, we care about the disrespect contained in even proposing it.</dd> <dd>The definitive answer you are looking for is that it's none of your business if we have a copy of an image also found on Commons. If anyone has a legitimate issue with an image - i.e. an issue that has nothing to do with where it is hosted - then all the CSD, FfD, PROD, and other deletion processes are freely available. If the only concern is that it's hosted both here and at Commons, if given the choice, many of us would deny it from Commons rather than be forced to submit to their processes.

The reason for having the user page link at the start is mainly for consistency and technical reasons. Until <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T27141" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T27141">T27141</a> is addressed, most user scripts in this area rely on the user page link to identify where a signature begins. In your case, your signature now looks like it starts at "u" which confuses scripts into thinking that text before that link is part of your comment. It's an unusual case. Your signature is probably 1 in 10,000 from a difficulty standpoint so making code changes to handle it would break proper recognition of more signatures than it would fix. (No joke, I've tested several user scripts that I've been working on with that many user signatures.)</dd> <dd>From a usability perspective, it also follows the <a href="/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment" title="Principle of least astonishment">Principle of least astonishment</a>. Users expect that clicking a username will take them to the user page, and anything else can be jarring. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CUSTOMSIG/P" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CUSTOMSIG/P">WP:CUSTOMSIG/P</a> has some additional best practices although it doesn't talk about technical issues.
