I hate to have to tell you this, but Misplaced Pages doesn't accept original work. See WP:NOR, and also WP:VAIN. Sorry. --John Nagle 08:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you deleted the Articles for Deletion marker. You can argue against deletion, but deleting the Articles for Deletion tag does not help your case. --John Nagle 08:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


It's not enough for an article to be interesting. It has to be notable. "Notable" has specific meaning on Misplaced Pages. See WP:WEB for what makes a web page notable, and WP:SOFT for what makes a piece of software notable. It's not just you; about a thousand articles a day are deleted from Misplaced Pages. Yes, you can add anything, but that doesn't mean it stays in. Also, since your user name is "NIreland" and the article is about "Nick Ireland", it's assumed that you are writing about yourself.

You can argue against deletion, by writing your argument on the article's Articles for Deletion page, but deleting the Articles for Deletion template won't stop the process. --John Nagle 08:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Your {{db-spam}} tagging of Dave Winer

I removed the {{db-spam}} tag that you added to Dave Winer because the article is not blatant advertising. As I replied on the article's talk page, you will need to list the article in AfD if you believe that the article should be deleted. Note that I am not stating my opinion on whether the article should be deleted, just what procedure you need to follow. -- Gogo Dodo 08:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: You tagged the article for speedy deletion due to it being blatant advertising, which the article is not. If you have issues with the factuality of the article, you can use the appropriate disputed templates. Or you can opt to request that the whole article be deleted by listing it in an AfD. -- Gogo Dodo 17:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
