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)

I guess that what I wrote was not as clear as it could have been: let me make it clear that I am not calling you a deletionist. I said that "non-notability" was a term that deletionists bandy about as if it were grounds for deletion. Ground Zero | t 12:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Please don't bite the newcomers

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.

Thanks! --A. B. 03:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
