- Your behaviour is following an odd and dangerous pattern. Your first edits were deletion-related, showing an awareness of Wikipedia policy, which is most certainly not the normal pattern. Your AfD nominations have so far been entirely without merit; please pay more attention to the articles you nominate, re-read the notability policies and follow them - consider this a warning. Ironholds (talk) 17:01, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Because new users rarely start off deleting stuff with evident experience of how the process works. I see you've been told about other deletion problems below; please give our policies a read. Ironholds (talk) 09:54, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Your speedy nomination here was not appropriate: WP:CSD#G1 is only for "Pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history." That means "lkjbt35jh##fv734h#^*tg84" or "Yaaaaaaayyyyy LOL!!!!!!" What we had here was flowery, tourist-brochure, unencyclopedic prose, but it wasn't nonsense. This was a tricky one, actually: the Coren Searchbot note seemed to be a false positive, and though it certainly read as if copy-pasted from somewhere, I couldn't find a source. The right speedy tag was {{db-a10|Rocky Mountains}}, because the subject is already fully covered in Rocky Mountains. If you are going to patrol new pages, you need to read WP:CSD carefully, and make sure to choose the right tag; if you can't find one, it probably means the page is not speediable. There is good advice for speedy taggers at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:04, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I have declined your speedy deletion request for the above article, as you did not detail the specific criterion it met. Please read WP:CSD for more information. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:55, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I have changed your speedy-delete nomination for Ecostructure into an AfD. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:01, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
