[edit] Recent Proposed Deletion by Future Fun Jumper (TIC)
Regarding a recent request by Future Fun Jumper (TIC) for speedy deletion. If that is the case, then why not propose the article about the building and the group that performs there be merged into one? There is lots of good and overlapping information there that should be kept. Is tagging an endless amount of articles as requiring 'speedy deletion' the only way Future Fun Jumper (TIC) see's to improve things? There are ways to be constructive and positive in edits without sweeping in out of nowhere and passing instant judgement. Why Future Fun Jumper (TIC) continues to behave this way on Wiki baffles me. --SpyMagician 15:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Discuss the article, not the user. If you want to discuss this, take it elsewhere. The vast majority of the articles I have tagged have been deleted, which means that I wasn't the only one who found them to be vanity articles about non-notable student groups or minor local groups. Unfortunately, all you are seeing is the ones that don't get deleted because the article histories get deleted when the articles do. But I agree, this needs to be merged. Finally, I still think you should not be casting the first stones after your wikistalking of me began over the article you wrote about yourself. Also, it's called Wikipedia. --Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 21:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- If you agree that it needs to be merged then why was your first impulse to claim speedy deletion as your first action? Also you say, "Unfortunately, all you are seeing is the ones that don't get deleted because the article histories get deleted when the articles do." that is simply not the case. Deleted articles are indeed archived; one needs to simply follow the link to the deleted pages and look at the discussion, history or reason given for the deletion. Wikipedia is open which means that things don't just disappear without a trail to explain it. It doesn't take as much effort as you claim to see someone's activity. The main contributions you seem to have been making in the past few days is a slew of 'speedy deletions' that are just as quickly denied by admins on Wiki. In fact on 22:58, 19 February 2007 (UTC) you said "I agree that the fighting isn't helping, and I really don't want to do so. I will be sure to make comments on talk pages now." So where is the drive towards discussion and positive growth? Nowhere to be seen. Especially in the case of this article where the demand for 'speedy deletion' is clearly overboard. --SpyMagician 15:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- You don't appear to actually know how the deletion/archiving system works. Once an article has been deleted, it no longer shows up in your contributions because the article's history is deleted when the article is. The articles are, in fact, archived, but only admins can see these and their histories. We can discuss your strange wikistalking elsewhere. --Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 02:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
