Hi there |

I see you propose deletion of one of my articles ]. I don't see how I can improve it though. I linked the official site because that's where I got the facts and figures from, and as far as I can see the article is neutral. I don't see much point linking the 1001 other personal/club sites (do a Google search on 'wild wales challenge') as well though, they don't tell you anything new as such. As for being 'not notable' - judging by the amount of people there on the 2 occasions I've taken part I disagree - but again look on Google... I don't see how I can incorporate this into the article. |
|
|
|
|

Sorry if it's not the way things are meant to be done, but I removed the prod notice from article because it's only 3 days from the deletion date and I don't have the time to get it resolved before then. |
