Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. J.delanoygabsadds18:00, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Surrural, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Hi. I declined the speedy deletion of the above article because I did not feel that the criterion applied, but I'm afraid that I do agree that this article may not be appropriate for inclusion on Wikipedia. I have tagged it for proposed deletion (PROD), a process used for uncontroversial deletions. (The message from me immediately above is an automatically placed template; I just wanted to leave you a personal note as well.) Unlike speedy deletion templates, you can contest this deletion simply by removing the template at the talk of the article. Before you do so, though, I would ask you to please read over the guideline on neologisms and consider whether there is enough notability on this term for it to warrant stand-alone status. It may be a good topic of conversation in one or both of the two related articles, but unless additional reliable sourcing can be produced to show that this term has gained widespread usage or that its application to the music of either of these individuals has invited media discussion, it may not currently meet guidelines for articles. If, after reading that, you agree that the article should be deleted, you can replace the PROD template with {{db-A7}} to indicate that you agree with the article's removal. If you do nothing, the article is likely to be deleted after five days. If you'd like to discuss this further, please feel free to drop me a note at my talk page. Thanks for your contributions, and I hope you will continue to pitch in in spite of the wrinkle you've encountered with this particular article. --Moonriddengirl(talk)18:45, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You've done a great job expanding the Gourds article. No need to apologize for the few mistakes you've made; the beauty of the wiki is that there is always someone checking your work and fixing the little things. Although it's tedious to read through all at once, the manual of style is worth checking out whenever you've got questions. Cheers. Strobilus (talk) 19:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have nominated Surrural, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Surrural. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
