Proposed deletion of Roofio edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Roofio, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Self-invented game

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

June 2009 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 Roofio. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. Passportguy (talk) 18:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Roofio, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 18:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sorry! I wasn't trying to prevent the discussion! I just wanted it to stop appearing on my page! If the discussion finds in favour of Roofio, will the article be allowed to remain?

How does Speedy Deletion work? edit

{{helpme}} My article has been nominated for speedy deletion as it was belived to infringe copyright. However, this was not the case and I have gone to lengths (as suggested above) to remedy this. When will this nomination cease to exist? Thanks --King's Roofio (talk) 20:50, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Greetings, please read WP:Criteria for speedy deletion.  Fyyer  21:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
