Proposed deletion of C. and M.

The article C. and M. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unremarkable phrase.

While all constructive 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I removed the proposed delete for the following reason: I read this story just yesterday. The phrase C. and M. was so curious that I spent considerable time researching it's meaning. I went to wikipedia first and found nothing. Having found what I believe to be a very credible explanation, I believe it is reasonable to share this on wikipedia for other readers of Hemingway who are similarly curious about this obscure reference. Clearly it is an archaic phrase. And standing alone, it is certainly unremarkable. But I do not believe that Hemmingway has become so obscure or irrelevant as to delete this aid to understanding his writing. Okskyhi (talk) 11:09, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Because you keep removing the proposed deletion withou making any improvements, I have nominated the article to be discussed for deletion. This nomination can not be deleted. Go to the page where it is being discussed and make your argument there on why the article should stay on wiki. Postcard Cathy (talk) 14:40, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I really don't get all the little syntax issues. I don't understand the advice given here or in help sections. Is THIS the page where the deletion is being discussed? Where is the link to the page where this deletion is being discussed? I don't get it.
