== Re. Not spam ==

Please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss. Regarding the talk page notices, I understand that you did it in good faith, but still it qualifies as spam. AFD discussions are not to be advertised this way, they're supposed to have a natural income of participants who directly access ] instead of seeing notices in related articles. Besides, all users from all areas are entitled to give their opinion, not just those who are prone to read the talk pages that you choose or find relevant. Spam is very frowned upon and is contrary to Misplaced Pages's natural consensus building process.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF CLAUDIA HERNÁNDEZ
(1982-2007)
You will always be in my heart

I don't have the time and I'm not in the mood for discussions. I lost a very special person just 1 day ago. I will be absent from editing or creating new articles since I'm very sad and kinda depressed. If I don't reply soon is because of this. Thanks.


Message

Man I'm very sorry for your lost, sometimes is funny how life is, isn't it, a couple of hours ago, we were laughing and now, you're devastated by the death of one of your relatives (I'm guessing), anyways, I'll sure keep an eye on that discussion, hope you'll be back soon, take care bro, peace out.

Re. Not spam

Please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss. Regarding the talk page notices, I understand that you did it in good faith, but still it qualifies as spam. AFD discussions are not to be advertised this way, they're supposed to have a natural income of participants who directly access WP:AFD instead of seeing notices in related articles. Besides, all users from all areas are entitled to give their opinion, not just those who are prone to read the talk pages that you choose or find relevant.
