Response to AMA Request

Hello Rfwoolf, I'm Dfrg.msc (talk · contribs) ans I'll be your advocate for your case: Wikipedia:AMA Requests for Assistance/Requests/December 2006/Rfwoolf.

Firstly, I see what you want to do, unfortunately I can't see what it looked like before ans subsequently why it was deleted. However, what I could discern from the Deletion article was that:

• Read like a how-to guide
• It was unverifiable
• It was unsourced POV
• It was a howto and a place for dicdefs

Positively:

• Subject matter did not come into question
• "Legitimate concept that needs to be referenced"
• Could be referenced properly

I've no idea about these actions:

The user Guy (JzG) said the deletion was for valid reason, but that I am free to recreate the article so long as it is properly referenced, etc. So I begun to redo the article, but it was then promptly deleted by Guy (JzG) and locked from recreation!

But it doesn't matter. I have had previous dealings with JzG before. He is not unreasonable. I understand that you can't edit the article, but it shows promise. What I suggest you do is construct the article here or in a test page, and then upon completion take it to JzG. If it is decent article then I'm sure he will unlock the page so you can paste it in.

If you have any questions, just ask me at my talk page. Regards, Dfrg.msc ^{1 . 2 . Editor Review} 23:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
