The nominator of the several dozen articles listed for deletion here chose not to comply with the recommendations of the various deletion policies that he inform the article creators of the nomination.
I left three of the creators of these article heads-up: here, here and here
Another contributor voiced a concern over those three heads-ups, writing: ...some of your notices to contributors re this AfD border on WP:Canvassing and are shameful in their content
For the record, I don't agree that informing a contributor that an article they started was nominated for deletion is WP:Canvassing. The deletion policy recommends this.
As for whether some aspect of these heads-ups are "shameful" -- I believe it is important to own up, when we make a mistake. I don't see how my comments are "shameful". If the contributor who voiced this concern can explain what was "shameful", and I find that explanation convincing, I'll own up and apologize. If, on the other hand, the contributor with that concern doesn't explain how it is "shameful", I will consider that they have acknowledged they were mistaken, and take the lack of explanation as a kind of tacit apology.
