  • Isn't there a speedy deletion category fitting for this one. Anyway - Delete. andy 16:33, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • userfy He's a newbie, lets be nice. :'( Roodog2k 16:35, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • This was meant to be a day in history article. I plan to add links to canine disease and things to look for. So I would ask that it not be deleted. Thank you for your consideration. Robert Davis
    • Based on the feedback and Wiki guidelines this page does serve a better place under my own homepage. So however pages get deleted, please feel free to do so. Robert Davis --Robfdavis1971 17:45, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Roodog2k, we are being nice, as we're not talking about him, we're talking about the article. Also, even if you add links, it's still not an article, as articles aren't supposed to be a collection of links either. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 16:44, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • Another comment: Also, we don't have "This Day in History" articles anywhere else on Wikipedia. The closest thing we have is Current events, which wouldn't accept such a non-notable event. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 16:46, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • comment and someone's explaining this to the guy on his talk page? Roodog2k 16:59, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. I agree with the comments. Even with links, etc, this is not appropriate. Daedalus-Prime 16:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Userfy. Wow, way to ruin my day. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 16:59, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • another comment IMHO, it bothers me when we're voting to delete a newbie's apparently first page without explaining to them on their talkpage whats happening and why. Roodog2k 17:06, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I guess I'm more partial to getting things done the quicker way. Anyways, don't get us wrong Mr. Davis, we're thrilled you want to contribute. Just that this is not the kind of article Wikipedia is looking for. Oh, and I agree with the userfying, but now that it's done, how about a redirect to his user page? —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 17:10, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • yet another comment As Mr. Burns would say... Excellent! I had already left a message on the user talk page, but when I userfied the page, I messed that up, since I didnt rename, I just cut-and-pasted the code, since there had not been a lot of revisions to the page. This guy really seems interested in contributing to Wikipedia, and I left a message with an admin Elf, who's really into the dog pages, to help him out too. Roodog2k 17:25, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I left him a note that he says was helpful. Elf | Talk 19:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

  • The author has clearly requested deletion above and the article has been userfied; the only substantive edits (except for the AfD tag) were minor edits by an anon (192.208.44.100). Can this be speedy deleted under G7? Sorry to hear about the dog, Rob. that's a bugger. Stick around and let's hope your future editing experiences are under happer circumstances. Your offer to edit articles on canine diseases is a good one. Tonywalton  | Talk 21:15, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
