What not to do.
One important reason that AfD votes from neophytes are usually discounted is that we have no way of knowing whether you're a throwaway account created by someone who's trying to screw around with the deletion procedure for the sole purpose of being a jerk.

Your very first edits to Wikipedia were to nominate articles for deletion, some of which are articles that have been around for quite a while. In fact, almost all of your contributions to date have been deletion-related; I hope you can understand how this doesn't look very good. I'm willing to grant you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you meant well, but I am hereby asking you to please not nominate any more articles for deletion for at least a month, or preferably a month and a half. Participate in other deletion debates, yes, and edit articles and discuss articles their talk pages and leave messages for other users on their talk pages... all that's fine. But nominating articles for deletion... you've kind of messed that up a bit.

Thank you; I hope that this doesn't discourage you from further participation here, since you're rather well-spoken. DS 21:18, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Anabasii
I remember you wanted to delete the anabasii article, because you didn't think it could be more than a dicdef. It's been expanded since the AfD stuff, and if you go look at it, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is what can happen when we expand rather than delete. Jimpartame 03:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
