Proposed deletion of Death by wikipedia

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Death by wikipedia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable neologism

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Death by wikipedia

edit

First of all, welcome to Wikipedia. The reason I tagged your article for deletion was for a number of compounded reasons. Your original article had no sources and had certain language that indicated a point of view (The original article has since been deleted so I can't pull it up but there was a line something to the effect of "Ted Kennedy and people even more famous like..."). I could have deleted it under another criteria, but as it was your first edit it was hard to gauge whether it was a serious attempt at an article. I apologize if this offends you, but I have dealt with many new users who don't take wikipedia seriously. You are on the right path with the recreate and still have some clean up to do. I would recommend taking a look at some of the links I left at the top of your talk page on how to create your first article to see how to correctly format things. Happy editing, Valley2city 10:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Just for the record: Valley2city tagged the article, I just deleted it. I smell something pointy here; before deleting, I googled, and the return was just about 1600 hits. I do not see the notabilitay now, but will let the AfD run its course. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 11:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
