From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Talk:Havana (film),

My article about the making of the film Havana has been tagged for deletion citing Rule 7. I diagree with this unsupported opinion. It is neither "patent nonsense" or "pure vandalism" which the cited rule specifies. In fact it is neither nonsense nor vandalism of any kind at all.

It is a true story that relates, from a first hand particpant and eye-witness source, an important part of the history of this film and how it got the reputation it has acquired as a bad remake of Casablanca.

I do not see where the content of the piece in any way offends any other rule or guidline. Further, I note that although the following text does appear in the rules, they seem not to have been observed because the interference was inserted even as I was editing my typos in the first minutes after posting it:

Users nominating a page for speedy deletion should specify which criteria the page meets; it would also be considerate to notify the original author — remember, everyone was new once.

NOTE: NEITHER WAS DONE.

These criteria are worded narrowly, and generally so phrased that, in most cases, reasonable editors will agree what does or does not fall under a given criterion. When there is reasonable doubt whether a page does, discussion is recommended,

NOTE: NEVER DONE.

So, based upon your own rules, I respectfully ask that the block be removed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joehark (talk • contribs).

[edit] Reinsertion of previous content

To anyone who noted the recent page change. I am working with the creator of the article to synthesize both sections into an article that meets wikipedia policy. Please permit us to work that out by not erasing the section after the introductory paragraph. Thanks. --Kchase02 (T) 00:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
