Dear Jhaven, please understand that the current voting for deletion of this article has nothing to do with any sort of ideological issue, and even less with a problem regarding your short stay at Wikipedia. The trouble with it comes from the fact that it adds little or no useful information on the subject, as it merely provides a basic definition of either term by separate. One rule of Wikipedia is, "Wikipedia is not a dictionary", and posting mere definitions (or as we usually call them, "dicdefs" - dictionary definitions) is cause enough for an article to be deleted, as they may belong in Wiktionary, our sister program, but not in Wikipedia. This doesn't mean in the least that we should not have an article on this subject, but it must be encyclopedic; that is, a sourced and objective description (and if possible an analysis) of it. If you could rewrite and ellaborate its contents within these guidelines, the article will be surely perfectly suitable for Wikipedia, and will be here to stay. Hope this helps, and please, let me know if I can be of further assistance to you. Kisses, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 22:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
