Apology

I will not delete the Tide Mills, East Sussex article again and I will refrain from resubmitting my own article, but having it deleted under false pretenses is both wrong and offensive to me. Simply not liking something does not make it threatening and if a biography with historical content you don't like is enough to declare something "threatening" and line it up for deletion, why is Charles Manson, Adolph Hitler, or Joseph Stalin still here? Interestingly, while my article had a decent outcome and wonderful moral lesson, the aforementioned figures did not...

I have explained why the article was deleted, with specific links to the corresponding policies, here. Perhaps it was missed in the subsequent brouhaha regarding Tide Mills.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 23:57, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

You left a load of mess on my talk page

That was kind of you. I see you also managed to create a mess over another article, almost getting yourself blocked. Going off on little crusades here is not well thought of by the natives, as you have found. How about making a fresh start? Learn the processes and policies, and edit according to them.

If you want to create a new article about the alleged ex con turned good guy then you need to add proper citations and references for all the facts stated in it, though he has to pass WP:GNG to have an article at all. If he inspires you and is real then he inspires you and is real. However, if you simply add another unsourced article about him with the allegations you made within it still standing you simply need to be aware that it will be removed on sight as a violation of our policies on the biographies of living persons.
