Hello again, MBailey! Thanks for your polite message on my talk page. I still have doubts about the notability of the subject in your article, but I've reconsidered my "speedy deletion" proposal. Instead, I've replaced the tag with an "AfD" deletion tag that will let the Wikipedia community decide whether to keep it or not. You're welcome to request that it be kept by going to the article (click here} and following the instructions on the tag.

Just so you know, Wikipedia has a policy on writing autobiographies which can be found here. If you have any questions about Wikipedia, just ask me. Thanks again! -- 21:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply You're welcome! I think the community will decide to keep the article, as it does now appear to merit an entry. If it is kept, someone will change the "b" to a capital. -- P.B. Pilhet / Talk 21:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Reply I'm sorry the voting isn't going the way you (and I) had hoped. Sometimes that's just how it goes. As for your request for me to delete the article, I can't. Even if I did have the ability to delete articles (which I don't, as only administrators and higher are allowed to do that), I would have to leave the "deletion discussion" up for at least five days in order to reach a full consensus on the community's wishes (according to Wiki's deletion policy). Sorry! Please don't let this discourage you from contributing to our encyclopedia in the future, though. We can never have too many editors! Thanks again for your kind remarks! -- P.B.
