| Ardenn, I do not believe that I have attacked you personally. Please explain why you believe that I have. The issue that I have raised is whether "non-notability" is a grounds for deletion, not you. Many deletionists do use "non-notability" as if it were an accepted grounds for deletion, so other contributors, like you, seem to believe that it is policy. I have not been able to find anywhere in Misplaced Pages policy that it is. Perhaps you could point out something that I have missed. ] | ] 11:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC) | Ardenn, I do not believe that I have attacked you personally. Please explain why you believe that I have.

Read BEFORE Posting:
- Vandalism and other offensive commentary/trolling will be deleted expeditiously.
- If you want me to respond/take your comments seriously, sign them with ~~~~.
- Be sure to be signed in. Anonymous users will have their messages deleted without comment.
- I will respond on your talk page, but I will not return to your talk page after that unless you've responded on my talk page. Sounds convoluted, but I'd rather be editing articles than reading your talk page.
- Add your comments to the bottom of the page.
- If you don't agree with a change that I've made to an article, please let me know nicely and I will address the issue.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Travel Cuts
Ardenn, I do not believe that I have attacked you personally. Please explain why you believe that I have. The issue that I have raised is whether "non-notability" is a grounds for deletion, not you. Many deletionists do use "non-notability" as if it were an accepted grounds for deletion, so other contributors, like you, seem to believe that it is policy. I have not been able to find anywhere in Misplaced Pages policy that it is. Perhaps you could point out something that I have missed. Ground Zero | t 11:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I try to welcome new editors that post new, useful articles, then I track them for a few days afterwards I noticed you proposed Slagish's first article, "Toronto Region -- Statistics Canada Research Data Centre (Toronto RDC)" for deletion, then reverted his edits to "University of Toronto" for violating Canadian English spelling rules. Take a look at my comments on his talk page -- I think you're a little confused on the spelling issue if you look at the links I included. Also, I'm not sure "Who cares" is exactly a useful or tactful basis for recommending article deletion. Take a look at WP:BITE and WP:CIVIL (the Examples) section.
I encourage you to give Slagish a break for a while and not follow him around to reverse his edits. He's brand-new and editing in good faith. I suggest you let him work on his Toronto RDC stub a little more. I'd hate to turn off a potentially productive new editor.
