Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nelly's
Hello, Markmalaspina. Thank you for your e-mail, however, a more common way to communicate with other users is to post a message on that person's talk page, as I am doing here. An article can be deleted from Wikipedia if it is not an appropriate subject for the encyclopedia. If it is an appropriate and notable subject with coverage that can be documented, then it can stay. If you believe that an editor has used an unreliable source to add false information to an article then be bold and make the corrections to the article yourself. I note that your only contributions to Wikipedia have been to note the problem edits and sources on the Nelly's article and propose the deletion of the whole article. That's what we call overkill. Nelly's is an encyclopedic topic, and what was needed was correction and cleanup, not annihilation. Be bold, but not reckless. OfficeGirl 02:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
