Your articles up for deletion[edit]

You really have to address the issues that have been raised about your two articles. Otherwise they will likely be deleted. The deletion discussions have not had any support (including by you) for these articles. Meters (talk) 00:12, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did not know that it is possible to argue against their deletion. Is this where I do it? Of course, I would like to see them stay. I do something every day, or every other day if anyone has noticed. There are huge gaps in what Wikipedia has on thie subject and I can only do so much at a time. My hope is to get both articles to the point where I can bring in others to edit. That's the plan. I will try to find out how to argue against deletion. I wouldn't mind a hint. Michael A Anthony PE (talk) 02:25, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've found your way to the discussions. I refactored your submission as a Keep since that is the standard. Meters (talk) 02:41, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
