Hi! I was the editor who placed the speedy deletion tag on the recently created ] article that you later deleted -- which was a good decision, IMHO. However, due to a recent semi-conversation with the creator of the article (see , , and ), I think I need to review my original decision to place a speedy deletion tag on the article -- not that I think that I was wrong to do so, but so that I can be sure about my thinining process, and, to be honest, I don't remember the article too well. Would it be somehow possible to (temporarily) get access to the article that was deleted, perhaps putting it in my userspace, just so I can take a look at it? Should I be approaching you about this? Anyway, thank you for your time, and thanks for serving as an administrator. -- ] 02:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

Thanks for letting me respond. If you could read this and let me know what you think I'd appreciate it. In response to my connection to the "other" user that added in the link previously...that was me. I had to create another user name and password as I couldnt log on after trying 3 times. However, I wasn't the person who originally created the category "unofficial sites". I've read through the American Idol and Star Trek sites I mentioned and what I see on the Star Trek site is external links that are definitely not official such as a tourism vulcan themed website and another site of fanzines. On the American Idol site, the very last listed website is Vote for the worst.com. I went to that site and it has absolutely nothing to do with American Idol as far as I can see. I can also explain a little bit more of my site (which is the only one I am interested in listing. There were 2 others but they're no relation to mine). | |||

If Thom Beers created a blog or a fansite it would definitely be official but he hasn't...No one has. If this show were as long lasting as Star Trek there might be many official fansites and if it were as popular as American Idol, then there might be multiple "official" sites as well, but there's not. Mine is the only existing fansite that IS unbiased when it comes to Deadliest Catch. It's simply about the show--Deadliest Catch. It is by definition a blog, yet it's designed like a website with multiple pages. There is nothing there I sell or advertise. There are only a few sites listed in wikepedia for this show--the actual individual fishing vessel websites and they only promote and provide information in their own interest, and likewise, the Discovery Channel website also only promotes the show in reference to itself. My site on the other hand, includes many many press releases, photos, tv schedules, topic connected links, and other general information/topics that are connected to Deadliest Catch such as Alaska, the Bering sea, seafood recipes, etc...So if www.deadliestreports.wordpress.com doesn't qualify as an unofficial site or external link, could you possibly add a See Also section?
