[edit] Hangon rationale
Article seems created by a newcomer, and is currently contested at AfD. WP:HEY challenge has been issued, and AfD should be allowed to continue for the duration. -- RoninBK T C 10:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Er, I've been editing wikipedia pages since june 2005, using the same account, does that count as 'new'? Although I'll accept inexperienced and in need of help with the process of new page creation Dinobass (talk) 10:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- My sincere apologies, I failed to actually look at the History, and assumed that the person who was arguing Keep in the AfD was the creator. Stupid assumption in hindsight. Regardless, my points made in the AfD stand. -- RoninBK T C 11:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

their comments appear to have been lost. If I am allowed to state my case, or there is somewhere appropriate to do that I'd appreciate pointers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinobass (talk • contribs) 11:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- First, a gentle reminder to sign your comments on Talk pages with four tildes, (~~~~). Secondly, you may want to visit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vitamin S, this is where the discussion is taking place. Third, and most importantly, you're going to want to find secondary sources that are independent of the subject itself, things like press coverage or something like that. AfD's run for five days so if you can address these concerns before that, then the article can stay -- RoninBK T C 11:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
