Removing AfD template

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Russell Hantz. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it. —cyberbot I NotifyOnline 02:33, 26 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Influx Magazine, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 12:45, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Removing AfD template

edit

  Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Influx Magazine. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete.

Influx Magazine

Hi, I noticed that you removed the AfD template on this article a few times and as you have seen, this is such undesirable behavior that we even have a bot to automatically put back the template. If you continue doing this, you are going to find yourself blocked from editing. A much better approach would be to read about the AfD procedure and then participate in the debate, telling the community why you think the subject of the article is notable and why the article should be kept. If your arguments are good (and policy based), you'll find that most people who have !voted "delete" up till now, will readily be swayed to change that to "keep". In general here on WP, talking with people whom you disagree with is much more productive than edit warring. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 08:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lil Durk, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Avalon Park. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:57, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Montana of 300

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Montana of 300 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 23:08, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of God, Guns & Automobiles

edit
 

The article God, Guns & Automobiles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Out of the <10 hits on ProQuest, all were trivial mentions in articles about other shows. Couldn't find any decent sourcing whatsoever

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
