Speedy deletion nomination of Arizona boycott[edit]

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Arizona boycott[edit]

I have nominated Arizona boycott, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arizona boycott. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply by Arizona boycott contributing editor[edit]

I strongly disagree with AnmaFinotera's charge of "statements attacking people or groups of people". Clearly, the article does no such thing. It merely disambiguates between two very prominent boycotts of the state of Arizona, one current and one in the past. The article does not take a position on either of the boycotts, it merely serves to direct a reader to the one the reader is interested in, or to inform the reader that there is more than one.

I am not taking sides on the issue of whether the current boycott of Arizona is deserved or not. Although I added some obviously needed information about the large City of Los Angeles boycott at Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act#Boycotts, I plan to add some new material I have discovered about counter-boycotts against Los Angeles and San Diego, among other locations.

To summarize, I strongly protest the suggestion that I am making "statements attacking people or groups of people" for merely including well documented, notable, encyclopedic information from reliable sources. If there are any further similar such statements on this issue by the same editor, I will consider them to be hostile and contrary to the spirit and policies of Wikipedia.

changed to a redirect[edit]

Changed this page to a redirect to Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act#Boycotts as per WP:Primary topic. The other known boycott was 23 years ago and is not nearly as well known.

Changed by original creator of this article. This should resolve any questions of whether a list of 2 items is appropriate, etc. Facts707 (talk) 21:07, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
