[edit] Family traditions

• Keep but Modify.

As the writer of this 'personal essay' - I'd like to throw in my two cents - this is my first addition to Wikipedia - and admittedly it isn't very 'encyclopedia like'...my hope in posting it was that someone else would step in and make it 'encyclopedia like', since this is something I know about first hand but I do not know about writing encyclopedia entrys. I adapted this 'artice' from a posting I made to a Pagan Clergy Webgroup. We were talking about it on said webgroup because it came up that there is very little information 'out there' on the subject. Thus, I think that is is beneficial for Wikipedia to have such an article - though it clearly needs some 'help'. ~ Lady Ament-Drake (gypsy_curiosa@yahoo.co.uk).

Personal essay. Maybe it is salvagable if someone wants to spend some time on it, but I think it's probably best to delete it and let someone re-create it later if they want to write a proper article. David Johnson [T|C] 20:37, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I agree 100%. To delete this article would be a mercy killing. Page should then be re-created as a redirect to tradition. -Casito⇝Talk 22:03, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Strangest thing I ever voted on, reads like a Wiki-ised chain email! They even sign off with their name! So, yes, let's be kind and kill it, and leave the namespace open for some other inspired person. Master Thief Garrett 09:44, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) Keep as revised.

• Delete- life is like that folks, sometimes Indian vegetarians like me also have to agree for mercy killing. Amen!--Bhadani 17:28, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC) Keep- article since modified.--Bhadani 13:50, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • My additional comments - Done, after seeing the "writer's" comments, I will try to modify the article. Let me see what can be done? God is great.--Bhadani 18:22, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • my vote Delete (mercy killing) is withdrawn. I have commenced revision and re-writing of the article. I am not sure of the outcome though.--Bhadani 19:24, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • oh, see, this is the "inspired person" I was talking about! Well done! Even at its current state it's probably no longer worthy of deletion. I'll say it again, well done! Master Thief Garrett 23:06, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • I have almost completed the revision of this article - drawing inspiration from the original article (contents of which I have incorporated in my revisions), and I find wikipedia a wonderful place.--Bhadani 10:56, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
          • I should add, though, that you should re-vote to keep. As it is one person voted to delete, I changed mine to keep, and the anon user voted to keep but anon votes aren't as important as those of logged-in users. Therefore, this will end in a stalemate. Might as well make it end happily ever after! Master Thief Garrett 11:45, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
