Affion Crockett
As I've mentioned on the AfD page, I've resurrected an earlier version of the Affion article. When I checked the page's history, I found that Petaholmes had replaced the short article with a redirect to Nick Cannon, without discussion or explanation. The next user changed it to redirect to Wild 'N Out. I didn't see why Petaholmes had done what she did, so I've dusted off the old version and cleaned it up. I don't know if this changes your mind about wanting the entry deleted.

Also, I gather from your short contrib history that your'e new around here. Inexperience would explain why you made a few missteps in Wikipedia's somewhat complicated deletion procedures:


 * The reason you give for deletion is that "All it was doing was linking to Wild 'N Out. It serves no purpose at all." However, redirects are considered potentially useful on Wikipedia. In this case, someone interested in Affion Crockett would be pointed to an article that had some information on him, instead of being left entirely empty-handed. (In fact, the last button on the edit bar, #R, is for creating redirect entries.)
 * The process for deleting redirects is RfD, not AfD. See WP:RFD.
 * You used the {prod} tag rather than the {afd} tag on the entry itself. {Prod} is a different deletion process than AfD. I removed the {prod} tag believing that you were using proposed deletion; had I not checked your contribs, I would not have found out that you actually were intending to list the article for AfD. I will add the AfD tag after I'm finished here.

Anyway, a standard practice on Wikipedia is to greet new users with a welcome message, but I find the default template bland and generic, and haven't really looked into the alternatives. You can visit Welcome templates if you want to see the choices yourself. --Groggy Dice 07:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
