Marquis de Bauffremont
If you object to the merge of this article with the Bauffremont article, can you please provide some sort of reasoning, rather than just removing the mergeto tag. Also, please note that the article had been tagged as requiring cleanup in several areas - I'm assuming you removed these by accident, but please don't remove the tags unless you do something to fix the issues raised. Thank you. CultureDrone (talk) 07:36, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

The article HSH Prince Daniel de Bourbon-Aubigné, Duke of Columbia has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 13:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Abner (family)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Abner (family), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —Largo Plazo (talk) 02:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Your Comments on Abner (family)
Hi, while patrolling proposed deletions I saw you had left a question hidden in this article. I find the easiest way to "hide" an article before it is ready is to create it as a sub-page of my user page. Once I'm happy with the page, I create the real article page and move the content of my user page sub-page into the article.

To create a User subpage:
 * 1) Edit your user page and add a link like User:USERNAME/name of subpage or just /name of subpage and save the page.
 * 2) Then click on the new link; the text box that appears will allow you to edit the new subpage.
 * 3) Put whatever you wanted to add there.

Full details are at WP:SP.

Meanwhile, if you don't want Abner (family) deleted, remove the "prod" template from the page and it can't be immediately deleted.

 * Although (just so you know if it comes up) if you delete the PROD template, if someone still feels your article might merit warrant deletion under Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, he or she can just tag it for WP:Articles for deletion, subjecting it to a formal attempt at consensus. (A PROD is a one-time attempt to accomplish a deletion for good-faith reasons without going through that formality.) It's a good idea, before you create an article, to make sure it meets Wikipedia's guidelines. I see someone posted a list of links at the top of this page that will help you with this.—Largo Plazo (talk) 14:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
