PRODs

• Actually, you don't need a reason to remove PRODs. I removed them because they've been previously placed on AfD, so it is not reasonable to think that no one would contest their deletion. JuJube (talk) 07:54, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Also, replacing removed PRODs is considered vandalism, so don't do it. Use AfD. JuJube (talk) 07:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

You could just assume good faith because it was an honest mistake. George Pelltier (talk) 07:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that the AfD listings you have created are improperly done. Please read WP:AFDHOWTO. ~Itzjustdrama 16:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

And what DGG says is true. Try to open up a merge discussion instead of nominating for deletion.

btw,there are two things you forgot to do when you placed the prods:

1. . It is absolutely necessary to use an edit summary saying that you are proposing deletion. This is so the editors, and we admins,can easily identify this is the page history. This is not optional, but a requirement.
2. . You really ought to notify the primary authors of an article when you place a prod, and especially an afd. They need and deserve a chance to improve the article, or to argue for it, or at least respond. This is not actually a formal requirement, though almost everyone does it. Wouldn't you want to be notified? Dont you want to see articles improved if possible.? DGG (talk) 18:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Probably many of these extremely poorly written articles could well be combined into combination article, with all of them being rewritten in a more mature fashion--but that is not the same as delete, which is a last resort only.DGG (talk) 10:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC) .

WP:AFDHOWTO

Please read and follow the directions in that link. Actually, please self-revert every nomination you've made and rethink them. I'm assuming basically every one will be snow kept once people find the discussions. --Onorem♠Dil 02:52, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
