Wikipediocy
Here's an example of the kind of idiotic statements we like to make at Wikipedia: "Grace Williams left no autobiography." For some dumb reason, we expect all composers to write autobiographies! Anyway, just so no one accuses me of biting the newcomers, now follows a canned welcome message. James470 (talk) 03:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Your deletion suggestions
I was going to go with Mary Ellen Childs next, but since she's a woman I think I'm going to leave her for last. I'm moving on to McKinley, but I'll get to the others in due time. Incarnatus (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Despite any sardonic attempts to twist my words or intent, I have no interest in your deletion agenda. Instead, I'll continue to follow Wikipedia's suggestions for alternatives to deletion.  Scot Johnston (talk) 15:33, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you again for your tireless commitment in defending Wikipedia against non-notable composer cruft. I have finally gotten around to nominating Mary Ellen Childs for deletion. Just a few minutes ago, Detroit Joe created an article about Christopher Skebo (who? exactly.) and it was speedily deleted within minutes. The system works!

 * Your sarcasm speaks for itself here. As anyone who looks can see, I have only defended several articles from the reckless and irresponsible agendas of haphazard deletionists, and will continue to do so. Scot Johnston (talk) 19:15, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Just so you know, Jubileeclipman's been off-wiki since last year, so he won't be able to comment on your AFD.  Bramble  claw  x   19:56, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
