PROD gone, AfD now here
Dan, you have removed 12 PRODs without improving any of the articles de-PROD-ed, and so I have placed all 12 into an AfD. Do not remove AfD notices, as this will be seen as vandalism, and could result in a block. The best course of action is to improve the articles, and vote at the AfD, expressing your thoughts on the matter. Darrenhusted 16:18, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

No, I am not jumping the gun. You need to improve the articles you de-PROD-ed, while the PROD was on you had five days, and then could have removed the PROD without an AfD, but all you did was remove the PRODs without making a single improving edit. The situation is that unless you improve the articles and prove notability then they will all be deleted in a week. Save your energy for the articles rather than using it on talk pages.

A few points:

1. All wrestling articles fall under WP:PW, and on the project talk page it was decided to remove any pages that do not fit rules for WP:BLP and fail WP:V and WP:A. The list of all being considered for PRODs is on that page.

2. You removed PRODs but did nothing to improve article, while the is nothing against doing that, it is frowned upon to contest a PROD but without editing the page before hand to improve it. PRODs are for non-controversial pages, and a PROD removed then means the page is controversial, and os an AfD must be sought. Unless improvements have been made, but so far none have.

3. I did not say PROD removal was vandalism, but was cautioning you against AfD removal, which is vandalism.

4. If you improve any of the pages then add to the AfD, Keep...article name, and your vote to keep that page will be noted. But even if some improvement is made it may not be enough to save a page.

5. Work on the articles rather than talking to me, I am not going to work on those articles so you should devote your energy to improvement rather than talk. Also do not attempt to vote stack the AfD, any attempts to game the system will be caught quickly and may result in votes being ignored. Desperate editors do desperate things.

Good luck improving those articles, you have about six days to do it. Darrenhusted 17:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Alex Porteau Article
The article has recently come up for deletion and you voted for its deletion. I have since re-written the article and think that the article is now good enough to remain on Wikipedia. If you could have a look at the article and re-consider your vote it would be much appreciated. A-Dust 11:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
