Wikipedia talk:Help, my article got nominated for deletion!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the discussion

I agree that this should probably be merged, but I should also point out that WP:GAFD is really quite a bit too long for new editors. Radiant_>|< 14:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Do what you think is best. I wrote this as a link for the desperate comments that appear on AfD from time to time. This is an introduction to the process. GAFD is about the nuts and bolts. Durova 22:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I strongly disagree with merging. This should be a simple, friendly guide for new editors who are shocked and surprised that 'their' article has been nominated. The guide to deletion should, as Durova says, be about the nuts and bolts. --kingboyk 18:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Disagree with merging for above reasons. -EdGl 01:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Do not merge. Instead, make the text even more beginner-friendly. // Habj 08:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The merge suggestion has been up for most of a year and it looks like a consensus opposes merging. I'll remove the template now. Durova 00:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:How to save the article

Well, the statement Verifiability is often the issue in the sub-section of How to save an article is slightly inaccurate. Notablility is often the issue here. --Siva1979Talk to me 22:22, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I've added a paragraph about speedy deletion. Durova 00:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
