Notice of Deletion Listing

I realize you've probably already seen the heading box. But wanted to follow the spirit of the suggested policy as much as possible. JasonCNJ 21:34, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

We've had several disputes over the last day or so regarding the article on H. Res 333 but I do hope you'll admit that I've always been honest and acted in good faith. In listing the article for deletion, I complied with every wikipedia standard: I informed all major editors of the article in question with proper notice on their talk pages and my previous edits on the talk page of H. Res. 333 already indicated a likelihood of listing the article for deletion. Frankly, I find your additional notification to User talk:Nima Baghaei to be in bad faith. I doubt it rises to the level of a violation of the WP:CANVASS guideline and will not make it an issue. But. as you may have seen, I had already included a notice on User talk:Nima Baghaei by the time of your additional comment. I feel your extra reminder violates the spirit - though not the letter - of wikipedia guidelines. JasonCNJ 04:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I do believe you have acted in good faith, and I hope you will agree that I have, as well. I was not previously aware of WP:CANVASS, and I appreciate that you pointed it out to me. FYI, I did not examine the other topics on Nima's page before adding my note, since I was not aware of the great lengths you had gone to to be fair in this issue.

I genuinely appreciate your courtesy in the matter, and I hope we can cooperate successfully in the future. It may have been difficult, but I am quite pleased with the current state of the article and do appreciate your contributions.--OtisTDog 04:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of US House Resolution 333

I've nominated US House Resolution 333, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that US House Resolution 333 satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/US House Resolution 333 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of US House Resolution 333 during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. JasonCNJ 21:34, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

H Res 333

I started a new section on the H Res 333 talk page announcing my desire to relist the article for deletion now that the 110th Congress will expire shortly and the Resolution will die in Committee. Given that you created the article and we've had significant discussions about it, I wanted to make sure you saw my comments and invite your response. From the previous AfD discussion, it seemed like you would be open to removing the article once it officially died. I am eager to hear your views now. JasonCNJ (talk) 16:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello OtisTDog! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 942 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Cyril James Skidmore - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 21:49, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Truth: The Universe Is a Growing God

The article The Truth: The Universe Is a Growing God has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No apparent claim to notability under the special notability guideline for books, can't find significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources to establish notability under the general notability guideline.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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.
