[edit] Whether to delete

This article was 10 minutes old when somebody applied a speedy deletion tag. The historical references to the Drake Circus area including over 3000 historical references from local government archives had been vandalsied on an article that was similar and previosuly deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicole 50dc (talk • contribs) 12:48, 12 November 2007

It would help if you could explain how this version differs from the one that was already decided to be deleted as per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#If you disagree with the consensus. DoubleBlue (Talk) 12:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

If it is allowed to propagate and be given a chance to grow it will be substantially different from that article. It is an area that was heavily blitzed, saw the death of countless citizens, has historical associations with Sir Francis Drake, Sir Joshua Reynolds etc, contains some of Plymouths most prestigious landmarks both old and new, received royal visits and today is the subject of a multi-million pound investment. The other article was heavily linked to the promotion of a nearby mall that happens to share the same name. I am sure when users search for Drake Circus want to be told about its Mills, musuems, factories, reservoirs and buildings - they do not want to be redirected to an ad for a mall.Nicole 50dc 13:18, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
