AfD nomination of The Thricennial Festival of Kalahurkus
An editor has nominated The Thricennial Festival of Kalahurkus, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note that I did not nominate your article for deletion, even though I contributed to the deletion discussion. Laughing Vulcan 01:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Just thought I'd reply to your comment in the AfD about time. While there are cases that articles are deleted under speedy criteria (see Candidates for Speedy Deletion,) and more rapidly under opinions like the snowball criteria,) the nominal time of an AfD (Articles for Deletion) debate is 5 days.  Yours may run a little shorter than that given the notability concerns (can't say for sure,) but generally you have 5 days from the time it's nominated for deletion for you (and others) to edit the article.  If you feel the article changes significantly in that period, call attention to what's changed in the AfD debate.  AfD is not a vote, so you may be able to persuade the Administrator who closes the debate that noted concerns have been met in the interim.
 * Before the AfD closes, if you are fairly positive that you have article-worthy material, you may cut-and-paste the editing markup from the article to a temporary page here in your userspace. If you want to know how that's done, drop me a line at my talk page, and I'd be glad to help.  Keep in mind that articles kept like this (called "userfying" or a "userfy",) must be regularly worked on or be subject to deletion (i.e. userfying isn't a way to just get your article to remain despite a deletion -- even your userspace isn't 'yours'.)  Alternatively, you may express a request in the AfD with the syntax: * Userfy (your reason why it should be userfied.)  The closing Admin is not obligated to honor that, but many will.  I'm really unsure that your article can be brought up to guidelines, but thought you should know how.  Laughing Vulcan  02:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Kalahurkus
Hi Salmanhb, I'm sure this is clearer now, but let me just underline it, the article about the Festival of Kalahurkus was a very clear, obvious failure of Wikipedia's policies that would really have no chance of surviving as an article. My first few edits went exactly the same way and I turned out OK :)  Dei z  talk 03:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes! Do not let my or other editors want to clean up the wiki from policy failure, as put above. Keep on editing! You may wish to check the requested articles in areas you are interested or have knowledge in. Userpietalk to me! 13:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
