Your attempt to have Michael Portnoy deleted

Hi Brianzamfel, You might have noticed that something went wrong syntactically with your deletion tagging. The reason it did not work was that you mixed up the deletion processes. In a nutshell, we have three different deletion procedures (details explained here):

1. Speedy deletion, if an article has to disappear as soon as possible (attack pages, vandalism, copyright violations)
2. Proposed deletion, if an article can be deleted without any discussion but if it is not urgent (hopelessly non-notable topics)
3. Deletion discussion, if deleting the article might be controversial to some editors (borderline advertising, borderline notability, if shorter procedures above have been declined, and all articles where you're not 100% sure they should go)

Because you provided extensive reasoning I thought an AfD would be in order for Michael Portnoy. I completed the deletion nomination on your behalf; you can find the discussion page here. Don't hesitate to ask me if you have questions. --Pgallert (talk) 10:15, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Please do not insert jokes into articles such as James Hetfield and Table (furniture) and Jimmy Wales. Reverting the jokes is just a waste of time for other editors. Johnuniq (talk) 07:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Well stop reverting the jokes then and you wont have to waste your time — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianzamfel (talk • contribs) 07:25, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Jimmy Wales, you may be blocked from editing. - David Biddulph (talk) 15:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Jimmy Wales, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - David Biddulph (talk) 15:34, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
