You accidentally blanked a lot of the Europe page. Could you please make sure to add comments to the Talk page and not the article. Thanks Tawker 07:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Turkish mythology
Turkish mythology has been proposed for deletion. An editor is concerned that this is more of an artistic expression than an encyclopedia article. Please review WP:NOT for the relevant guidelines. If you can edit this article to be more encyclopedic, please do so, and consider explaining your reasoning on the talk page.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If the tag is removed without the concerns being addressed, the article may still face deletion through debate at Articles for deletion. NickelShoe 16:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Re Turkish mythology
Hi Duncan, welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed your creation of Turkish mythology. First of all I removed the "prod" template mentioned by NickelShoe above, so the article is probably safe from being deleted for the time being. Unfortunately, the text you added is copyright protected, see http://web.mst.edu/~gdoty/poems/altaic/creation.html and so adding it is not allowed (unless you are the copyright holder) see WP:copyvio. Thus I have removed that text, and replaced it with some of my own. If you have any questions about this please ask me on my talk page.

But I wonder whether this article should be named instead Turkic mythology?

If you have any thoughts or questions on this matter, you can respond here or my talk page or on the article's talk page Talk:Turkish mythology.
