AfD nomination of Anime: the abridged series
I have nominated Anime: the abridged series, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anime: the abridged series. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please take the time to read up a little on the links I supplied above. I know you are new and want to contribute, but you really need to get just a little better understanding of what Wikipedia is, and what it is not, before you create articles. Otherwise, you are bound to get frustrated. There are a fair number of policies and guidelines here, so I usually recommend most people start by editing articles that already exist, by expanding them, fixing errors, adding citations. If you do that for a week or two first, it will help you learn the ropes, and to avoid deletion problems. Hope you find a way to have fun helping us build Wikipedia!

One other thing I have noticed, the way that you are righting is fine for a newspaper or blog, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Think of what you would find in a paper encyclopedia as a starting point. This is why I recommend to start by editing instead of creating articles, to get a better feel for what is appropriate for an encyclopedia and what isn't. It takes a little time, for all of us. I've been here over 2 years, still learning. D ENNIS B ROWN (T) (C) 02:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
