Template is not inflammitory or divisive, so does not meet T1 criteria for speedy deletion Willy turner 21:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
If you dont know what to say about my statement then you shouldnt be commenting at all. Having a picture of book burning clearly does not paint anyone as a nazi. Willy turner 22:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC) The image is used on every page dealing with Censorship. Why havent you nominated it for deletion from the censorship series box if you feel so strongly. I can just about deal with admins censoring any userbox which is critical of any aspect of religion, but this is the last straw. If a userbox opposing censorship is censored (without any discussion), then we may as well delete all userboxes expressing an opinion. Willy turner 22:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

non-notable software Hi, I would like to request that Xcellery be opened for Undelete review. This is my first time writing an article versus just making small edits so I apologize in advance for getting the procedures wrong. A temporary version may be found at User:CambridgeBayWeather/Sandbox I understand from CambridgeBayWeather that this particular article was deleted twice Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xcellery and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xcellery (second nomination) due to advertising content and insufficient notable sources. Taking this into account, I have re-written the stub and at CBW's advice, I would like to submit it for review. According to WP:SOFTWARE a piece of software must be notable if it has multiple non-trivial independant mentions. At the time, Lifehacker and Salesforce were listed as the two references. Upon further review, it was noted that the Lifehacker reference did not live up to the WP:SOFTWARE standard since it appeared that the author of that blog article had not used the software... Now that a few months has passed, I found the following references to Xcellery thanks to Google. Besides SalesForce AppExchange (which noone has disputed the legitimacy of), there is a reference on Buzzshout, Office 2.0 Database, and Webware. Of these, several are hands on evaluations of this software so they should count, right? I'm not sure what the next step of this procedure is. Please advise.

Both the nominator and one participant failed to provide any reasoning as to why they deemed this person not notable. One other relied on online sources. The paper archived their online content for a limited length of time, but information would still be available in dead tree format. The final participant in the discussion draw into question his single television appearance without even discussing the fact he had a leading role in a London West End musical and not only had a leading role in said TV show. I believe this article should be undeleted because the most important argument for his notability - his stage work - was completely ignored in the AFD and none of the comments took ALL his work in consideration.

I have posted this article twice, and both times it has been deleted by the same administrator. The article was previously posted by someone else, and there was a deletion discussion. The administrator who continues to delete it cites that discussion as his reason. However, that discussion was flawed. The reasons given for deleting the article are inappropriate. One reason was lack of verification of claims, yet links were provided in the article that backed them. Another reason was the questioning of the importance of the article. Element TD is a very popular game for Warcraft 3, and I say this as a person who has played Warcraft 3 for years. But don't take my word for it, the number of downloads it has received on numerous Warcraft 3 sites speak to this fact. It has not only been Spotlighted by Blizzard themselves as an outstanding map, but it also is featured in the map section of the prestigious WC3Campaigns.net. The final reason brought against the article is that custom maps for games do not deserve to be on Wikipedia. However, Defense of the Ancients (DotA) has TWO articles on Wikipedia (DotA and DotA Allstars). It should be noted that DotA is a custom map for Warcraft 3. If that reason is to be cited, Wikipedia should be consistent. I believe the handling of this article has been inappropriate. The article has not had a chance to grow in size and quality because it is immediately deleted. I can promise that many users will edit and improve the article, because Element TD has a large fan base. Please rectify this situation. Karawasa 06:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
http://www.battle.net/mod/mapvault_archive3.shtml - This is the link to Blizzard's Spotlight Maps. If you don't know, Blizzard is the company responsible for making Warcraft 3. Element TD being in this archive means that Blizzard has singled it out for being one of the better custom maps for Warcraft 3. http://www.epicwar.com/maps/?mode=details&order=desc&sort=downloads&page=1 - This is a link that shows that Element TD has an outstanding number of downloads and ratings. See how it is above every map but two for this database in terms of downloads. http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/2745/eletddv7.jpg - Link to picture taking of WC3Campaigns.net map database. Notice how Element TD is a part of the database. WC3Campaigns.net is essentially the largest and most respected site for Warcraft 3 maps and modding. Element TD being a part of this database was only possible with the approval of the administration of that site. Very few maps make it into the database, only the highest quality and most respected ones. http://warcraft3.filefront.com/file/8_Element_TD;71609 - Link to another site for Warcraft 3 downloads. Notice the large number of downloads for this map. Feel free to compare the number of downloads with others from that site. What other proof can I offer you? I also would like an answer to a question I have asked several times. Why is Defense of the Ancients article allowed to exist on Wikipedia (DotA). It has TWO articles (DotA and DotA Allstars). What proof have they offered to be allowed an article? If Element TD article cannot exist on Wikipedia, nor should this article. As administrators, you need to be consistent. RHaworth, I thank you for actually taking the time to familiarize yourself with Warcraft 3. My conflict of interest is irrelevant here. It is not self-promotion, I do not mention myself at all in the article. --Karawasa 22:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
