Seasoned Veteran
Why are you insisting on deleting an established article? Please do not simply replace articles in place. You can include your article without deleting articles that have been on the encyclopedia for years. Thanks  Tide  rolls  03:47, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Do you know how I can do this?


 * Nope, but I'll try to find out. Try to remember to sign your post with four tildes (the ~ key).  It helps the tread on track  Tide  rolls  03:52, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It seems another editor has taken the initiative and redirected the article. You can go to Disambiguation and find the information on the process for linking articles with similar titles.  Let me know if that info is helpful.  Thanks  Tide  rolls  04:00, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Again, please do not delete legitimate articles. I suggest you draft the article in userspace (right here), ask an experienced editor to look at the draft to make sure it meets Wikipedia guidelines, and then ask an admin to move the article to mainspace.

Yours is an album so change it to Seasoned veteran (album). I have tried to change it but am unable to so I hope you can.
 * I have reverted your changes for now, because a) we cannot simply replace legitimate articles with something else; and b) your article is of questionable notability, and we need to make sure it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines before moving it into mainspace.

 * OK, for starters, we need to remove the "Famous UnSeasoned athletes" section, because it is controversial (and unverifiable) information about living people, which is against policy. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually it is verifiable and I will source them tomorrow. I am going to add my sources and I guarantee notability. Your article is about an album, which is not important.

Seasoned Veteran (the album) vs. Seasoned veteran (the sports term)
I have restored content regarding the album to the article Seasoned Veteran that you had overlain with alternative material. The album title is a proper noun that should have both words capitalized per WP:MOS. The sports term is not a proper noun and was moved to Seasoned veteran. Regardless of your opinion on the matter, under no circumstances would you be deleting content simply because you believe something better belongs there or because you think that the album is "not important". Please discuss any changes and obtain consensus before making any further changes here to article titles. Alansohn (talk) 16:27, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
