Hello, Impaled666, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Forward Regression Records, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Collapse (band), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Jason James Mackenzie. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 20:04, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think you are a bit confused about the deletion process, so I'm going to try to break it down for you here:
Speedy Deletion (CSD) - this is when an article gets deleted very quickly, usually because of vandalism, etc. It does not apply to the three articles in question, and no one is considering them for that.
Proposed Deletion (PROD) - this is when an editor believes the article in question does not meet Wikipedia inclusion policy, it does not fall under speedy deletion, and does not believe it will be controverisal. If no one objects, the article is deleted in seven days. If someone objects, they can remove the tag. In this case, you objected and removed the tag - which is your right to do. If a Proposed Deletion is contested, is cannot be re-proposed. It must go through one of the other two deletion procedures (CSD or AfD).
Articles for Deletion (AfD) - this is when an editor believes an article in question does not meet Wikipedia inclusion policy, and a discussion is required by the community to determine the consensus. In this case, no one can remove the tag until the discussion is completed - usually after seven days. Instead, people on both sides of the issue make their feelings known at the deletion discussion. We don't need to add additional tags to let people know it is contested. The fact that it is at AfD usually means it is contested.
GUIDLINES:
To object to and therefore permanently prevent a proposed deletion, remove the {{prod}} tag from the article. You are encouraged to also:
1.Explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page.
2.Consider notifying the editors involved in the PROD by placing a {{Deprod}} tag on their user talk page.
3.Add or modify an {{Oldprodfull}} tag on the article's talk page, to prevent renomination under Proposed deletion. It will then be listed at Category:Past Proposed Deletion Candidates for easy tracking.
4.Consider improving the article to address the concerns raised.
If anyone, including the article creator, removes a {{prod}} tag from an article, do not replace it, even if the tag was apparently removed in bad faith. This excludes removals that are clearly not an objection to deletion, such as page blanking. If you still believe that the article needs to be deleted, or that the article should be deleted but with discussion, list it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.[3]
If the article has already been deleted, please follow the Deletion review process. If undeleted, add the {{Oldprod}} tag to the Discussion page. Any deletion via this process which is taken to deletion review is implicitly a contested deletion, and the article should therefore be immediately restored by any administrator without discussion.
WE ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES AND HAVE REMOVED THE PROD.YOU ALL KEEP RE-ADDING IT.WE HAVE ALREADY PREVENTED THE DELETION. STOP ADDED THE DELETION NOTICE TAG.Impaled666 (talk) 19:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

You have been temporarily blocked from editing. You need to quit freaking out and yelling at everyone. Try to actually read and understand the messages others are sending you, and stop reposting the disputed prod template all over the place.. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
You have temporarialy blocked me from editing because you are attempting to stop me from making my argument and you are not following your own rules.
Removing the prod tag prevents deletion and you are harrassing and flaming us now.
On the contrary, Singularity 42 has been remarkably patient in trying to explain the situation to you, and you have responded with hysteria and nonsense. Please calm down and actually read the helpful messages he posted here explaining the situation. Articles for deletion discussions last a minimum of seven days, so you will still have plenty of time to formulate a rational argument with a basis in Wikipedia policy after the block expires.

This is silly. As has been repeatedly explained to you now, removing the WP:PROD tag prevents it from being deleted through the PROD process, it has no impact on the WP:AFD process whatsoever. Understand? Beeblebrox (talk) 19:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

In this case, you removed the {{prod}} tag - which is totally fine. It just means we move onto the last sentence of that paragraph. Did other editors still feel the article should be deleted? If the answer to that is yes, then we move to a new process called WP:Articles for deletion. In this case, the answer was yes, so we moved to that new process.
WP:Articles for deletion is explained more on that page as well as WP:Guide to deletion. While you are away for three hours, please take a look at those two pages. I'm sure they will help you understand what is happening better. But a big rule is that the {{afd}} tag CANNOT be removed while a discussion is taking place (which is different from the {{prod}} tag.
After your block is over, I will be more than happy to continue to answer your questions, provided you ask them calmly and without wild accusations. Thanks! Singularity42 (talk) 19:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
You edited this entry above in my talk page and I caught you.
<removed copy-paste of earlier entries>
Okay, a couple of things:
1) You don't need to re-print the the template that was already added to your talk page. Just point me to it instead. In any event, it clearly says that there are other deletion processes if you decide to remove the {{prod}} tag.
2) You are right. I don't run Wikipedia. And I won't make the final decision. An impartial administrator will. Isn't that the best solution?

Read your own posts, chummer. They specifically say that PRODs that are removed can still be deleted as a result of a subsequent AfD debate. The PROD was removed; there is now an AfD debate. Removing a PROD (or a DB) does not guarantee an article's survival indefinitely. Also, please calm down the rhetoric. The last thing *any* of us want to do is extend your block because you're being belligerent. -Jeremy(v^_^vStop... at a WHAMMY!!)20:22, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Jason James Mackenzie, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Singularity42 (talk) 19:26, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Collapse (band). 4twenty42o (talk) 20:14, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
