War of Knives
I believe the article you're working on is about the same subject as an already existing article: War of Knives. Because of the way Wikipedia is structured, it is best to avoid ever having two articles about the same thing; would you be interested in editing the War of Knives article instead?  — Soap  —  21:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of War of the Castes in Haiti
I have nominated War of the Castes in Haiti, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/War of the Castes in Haiti. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.  N ERDY S CIENCE D UDE  (✉ message • changes) 22:17, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi DaWulf2010, welcome to Wikipedia, and I'm afraid that having a contribution deleted is a fairly standard initial experience for newcomers, who aren't yet familiar with our content requirements and the content that we already have. The deletion nomination isn't supposed to come across as unfriendly, but yes, it's best to add material to the existing article on the subject, rather than creating a new and somewhat redundant article about the same subject. Do you think you can merge any new material from your new article into the existing one? Once the two articles are combined, then we should let go of the separate one. (The deletion nomination might have waited a while, I think, but here we are). I'm sure there are lots of other contributions you can make as well, and you'll be able to avoid such overlaps as you get more used to things. 66.127.52.47 (talk) 22:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
