MfD nomination of User:Bbqturtle
editUser:Bbqturtle, a page you created, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Fishfishfishfsh and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Bbqturtle during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.
- This was nominated by another editor on the 9th and the discussion period has passed but the discussion has not yet been closed, I will leave it open for another day or two in case you wish to comment but another admin may close it at anytime. The issue seems to be that you commented out the blog you are keeping rather than removing it.Doug.(talk • contribs) 16:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll come clear. I totally did break wikipedia rules are regulations, and I'm actually more ashamed than you probably believe. Wikipedia means a lot to me, and I should have presented my blog on a more appropriate site. BUT, I had like 3 years of entries on that page. Is there any way I can retrieve said entries, just to post on a different site, or for my personal files? And no, I didn't see this until after my page was deleted.
- I really am sorry. Bbqturtle (talk) 12:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
you deleted this article that said it didn't have enough content to show context.
because it was a new article and a stub, isn't this to be expected? I added a link to the main site, which not only explained the article but proved it was noteworthy.

- Not really, no. Providing a link is not appropriate; notability must be asserted within the actual article. As written it does not indicate which country the chain exists in, nor why it deserves an encyclopedia article. I trust that you appreciate that not every retail outlet is intrinsically noteworthy. If you feel able to expand the article to address these points, while at the same time avoiding falling foul of WP:CORP, let me know and I will restore the article for you to do so. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 17:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- After reviewing the WP:CORP and doing a bit of googling, I decided you were correct; the cache chain is too small and otherwise ignored to be considered notable. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Bbqturtle (talk) 19:22, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Please do not feel that you need to apologise; we all make mistakes on wikipedia, and yours was of the most trivial kind. Happy wikying. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 20:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
