We recently put up a page on Janos Boros, the Hungarian politician from Kolozsvar and ex-vice mayor. But this has been notified by some users on Wiki for deletion. If they had asked us to improve the text, we would have happily obliged. But they are attacking the very credentials of the personality saying that his profile does not comply with neither WP:POLITICIAN nor WP:GNG. They also propose deletion as they see this page as a means to aggrandise Janos Boros. We searched the wiki for other vice mayors from Romania, to see if ex-vice mayors of Roamnian city councils and ex-vice presidents of political parties deserve and have their pages. Many of them, both ex and present have wiki pages dedicated to them. If these Romanian vice mayors can have their pages on wiki, while they some of them have not even served terms in office half of what Mr. Boros did, why not a page for Janos Boros? We are in the process of re-writing the page, as we agree with the critics that the page was poorly written. But outright request for deletion will be a biased one and unfair to our effort. If you find time, your help would be most welcome and appreciated.
I saw the request article you created. Wikipedia is an encycplopedia, and therefor it does not allow each and every article. It seems that the page you mentioned was removed due to notability concern. First, due to your comment regarding other articles, i feel obliged to point you to WP:WAX. Since Wikipedia is a work in progress we might at any time have article's that are not conform to our policies. The actual existence of these article's, however, is not a reason why everything should stay.
Now a bit more on point: There are three core guidelines in Wikipedia regarding article content: The subject must be WP:N:Notable, and have received verifiable coverage in Reliable sources. Since you mention that "We are in the process" i assume you are directly related to the subject; If you are, WP:COI is also a must read article. Since i haven't seen your article i cannot judge myself if there was enough notability to allow it. Have you read WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG? If so, did your article pass these policies? And above all, did your article reflect this?
Last, i see you are concerned about the Wikipedia removal process, and mention "Unfair treatment" and page removal. Page removal is actually very common on Wikipedia. Basing myself purely on my own experience i would say that every day we remove around 2.000 pages, and receive around 4.000 to 5.000 new ones. Due to Wikipedia's popularity we receive many new pages: If we would not have basic quality guidelines we would have had around 16 million article's by now, and the majority would be non encyclopedic.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — DædαlusContribs03:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category Articles tagged for deletion and rescue not found
Hi, Hangakiran, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron!
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
Some points that may be helpful:
Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.
Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.
The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion.
Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it.
If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.
Thanks for the notice, I'll ask other Hungarians (especially Transylvanians) on their opinion (I couldn't add much at the last AfD, I could only check the Hungarian web for mentions of him).

For the reasons outlined in the arbitration enforcement request concerning you, in application and enforcement of WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions, you are indefinitely topic-banned (as defined at WP:TBAN) from the subject of Janos Boros (notably, from the article, its talk page and any related discussions). Any uninvolved administrator may lift this topic ban, on your request, after no less than four months if you have made substantial useful contributions to other articles and have engaged in no further objectionable conduct in the meantime.
