No caps in headers

Howdy. Wikipedia's style manual asks editors to not use all capital letters in any of the articles on Wikipedia. For more information, please visit WP:STYLE. Best regards on your future edits. --OliverTwisted (Talk) (Stuff) 11:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Linton Robinson

edit
 

The article Linton Robinson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

self promotion? Not notable (but amusing) "several different writing careers, most of them influential, without achieving widespread notoriety"

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. Scott Mac (Doc) 20:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
