Proposed deletion of Freda (game)

The article Freda (game) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

NFT

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 03:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

• That said, I accept that the decision of the referee is final. -- DavidLM44 (talk · contribs · logs) [via e-mail]

Totally wrong! Very few Wikipedia decisions are ever final. In this case, since the deletion mechanism was a {{prod}}, you could have legitimatley removed the prod tag youself! By a curious invert logic, I consider the fact that two of your refs contain only passing references to the game as evidence of notability - they are written by people who assume that everybody knows about Freda!

What you must do:

• go to this page, which I assume is yours and add

to the bottom of it. As it stands, I could have deleted the article as a copyvio.

• re-write in a slightly more encyclopedic tone
• try and find more references, but don't worry if you cannot find any
• re-publish the article and let me know - the proper place to contact me about WP matters is here - obviously.
