User talk:Gigantibyte

And you can contribute to the deletion discussion of Mickey Renaud, too! Editorofthewiki 16:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: what you said on my talk page
I posted the above on this page because I noticed you have been contributing for a while and have not received a formal welcome. You did not do anything wrong, and I was simply stating that if you need more info on Wikipedia, talk to me. And I agree that there are many people who are trigger happy to delete articles, and Mickey Renaud should be kept. However, you stated:


 * My vote is that no article be deleted based on noteworthiness, but rather on the quality of the information.

It could be interesting, and not notable. For example, you mightcreate an article on a quirky store, but it will probably be deleted because Wikipedia's WP:NOTE states:


 * A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

Which fits Renaud.

Oh, and you wnted to join the discussion of the AfD. All you have to do is put an * at the end of the page, write your arguement, and put four ~s. If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to tell you about Wikipedia at my talkpage. (Clich the "the" in my signature). Editorofthewiki 19:18, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

How I know about you
I know about your contributions by looking at Special:Contributions/Gigantibyte. Your History tag at your User page only says how many times you changed that page. And as for how I know about AfDs, I simply read Articles for deletion. The definintion of it is, from that page:


 * Articles for deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians discuss whether an article should be deleted. Articles listed here are debated for up to five days, after which the deletion process proceeds based on Wikipedia community consensus. The page is then either kept, merged and/or redirected, transwikied (copied to another Wikimedia project), renamed/moved to another title, userfied to the creator's user page or user subpage, or deleted per the deletion policy.

Any mre questions? BTW, do you know how to create a article? I can teach you if you want more info. Editorofthewiki 00:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
