Proposed deletion of Velocity Tiles


The article Velocity Tiles has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Wikipedia is not a how-to guide.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * Hi. I tagged the article for deletion because creating articles that read like instruction manuals is counter to Wikipedia policy. However, you may want to consider taking this content to WikiHow. Steamroller Assault (talk) 17:31, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the deletion
Regarding your comment, I understand your intention to assist fellow developers. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, and not an instruction manual. It is also not a publisher of original thought. Take a look at those guidelines I linked. Also, there is now a deletion discussion regarding your article. You are welcome to join the discussion over there. Steamroller Assault (talk) 18:37, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
