Deletions ---

If you are here because of pending or past article deletion that I was part of, thank you for taking the time.

This is an attempt at a short introduction that will hopefully address the some of the concerns that brought you here.

1. I do a lot of work from the project WP:URA, which has the goal of adding references to articles. That is not always possible, and all to often the requirements of WP:V and/or WP:N lead me to suggest the article be deleted. I should have detailed in the message why the articles appears to be inappropriate for Wikipedia and what leads me to that conclusion.
2. If you can add references to the article that shows I am wrong, by all means do so and remove the {{PROD}}, and/or vote keep at the WP:AfD. If you are reading this, than you most probably disagree with my assessment of an article you care about and have references or knowledge that I don't. Your skills in helping the article meet expectations would be welcome.
3. If your sure I am idiot, your not alone :) It can be hard when an article about a subject you care about seems like it is being attacked. I probably found the article that brought you here because it was alphabetically next in the oldest of Category:Articles needing additional references or was intimately related to one of them. I have been working WP:URA since 2007, I have improved thousands, I have recommended some for deletion, and I have been wrong. I would love to have you prove me wrong about my assessment if I recommended the article for deletion.
4. Sometimes I am wrong in my assessment Birmingham Dribbler and the intervention of experts leads to an improved article. Sometimes article written by the most trusted editors Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manar Group can not be made to meet WP:V, and other times article that seems to be highly notable Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ahmed Abdel Haye Kira can't find any WP:RS to meet WP:V.
