Your contribution to a deletion discussion[edit]

It sounds like you found reliable sources in your search that would help Wikipedia keep this article, but you forgot to identify those sources. People like keeping articles- if you add more specific details about the sources you found when you 'searched properly,' it might save the article. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:32, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Avoid personal attacks[edit]

You'll want to avoid insults, like the one in this diff. 'Idiot' is an insult- and, in any case, you've only been a Wikipedian for a few hours, and can hardly have learned what Wikipedia is "full of" yet! As you spend more time here, you'll find that the evil deletionists complained about on others' web sites are mostly mythical- no one wants to delete verified information from the encyclopedia, in general. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:35, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know I do not know what Wikipedia is "full of" yet, or that I am not aware that "idiot" is an insult? Please kindly refrain from insulting my intelligence.

And anyway, that was a reaction to seeing people completely ignoring the fact that there are places to which these pages could be redirected. This is ridiculous. --Divebomb (talk) 14:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources for Transformers[edit]

See "Reliable sources for Transformers" Dwanyewest (talk) 15:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see.

That thread (which, BTW, has been archived and is no longer on the page you linked me to) does not mention tfu.info, and does nothing to explain why you called it "dodgy". --Divebomb (talk) 15:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will try and find the original discussion but WP:FANSITES aren't considered reliable sources of information. Dwanyewest (talk) 15:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple AfDs[edit]

This would be a very good time to stop filing AfDs and let everyone catch up. Also, if any of them should be considered together, please combine them before people start commenting on them separately. Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:21, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FBomb[edit]

The moment you use that is the moment you lose the argument. Please don't. Spartaz ^Humbug! 16:35, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

G.I. Joe AfDs[edit]

G.I. Joe has its own WikiProject, so you should mention the AfDs you started at the project's talk page. NotARealWord (talk) 15:41, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
