Talk:Elaine Donnelly

Keeping the article
She's a prominent opponent of gays in the military. She's constantly quoted in the press. Deleting the article won't make her go away. Better to write about what annoying twit she is (i.e., as her opponents regard her). --Uncle Ed (talk) 02:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Could merge to Center for Military Readiness, if information about that organization's founder is relevant. --Uncle Ed (talk) 15:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Both article are fairly marginal -- most of Center for Military Readiness relies mainly on an unreliable source and CMR's own website. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 17:17, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * If she is "prominent", there would be significant coverage about her in independent reliable sources. This does not seem to be the case. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 23:17, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Adding/removing PRODs
The article has been PRODed three times now. I did the first, but would never have done the 2nd or 3rd, because it is against the policy here. By definition, a PROD is for "uncontested deletion". No rationale has to be given to remove a PROD tag (one of the few times removing a maintenance tag is ok without summary), it just means that the deletion is contested. If someone wants to AFD it, so be it, but continuing to PROD the article after it is already established that deletion is NOT "uncontested" can only be seen as disruptive. If there is any question, consult WP:PROD which CLEARLY STATES:  An article may be PRODed only once. It also clearly states If any person (even the author him/herself) objects to the deletion (usually by removing the --proposed deletion-- tag - see full instructions below), the proposal is aborted and may not be re-proposed.  It also goes on to CLEARLY SAY that giving a rationale to removing a PROD is NOT required. Obviously, it is preferred, but it is never required. Now can we please be done with this silly PROD war.
