Template:Proof is a huge self-reference and somewhat non-neutral when it says that the "proofs are considered interesting in themselves," almost as if it is justifying the articles existence (there have been objections to the notability of proofs in the past). Otheruses can handle clarification between the notable topic and the proof of the notable topic (ie, This article is about the proof of foo. For information about foo itself, see foo.

 * Delete, use seemain instead. Stating "this article is interesting" at the top of an article isn't a very good approach.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  11:31, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Radiant!; unnecessarily detailed/compliacted, we don't need an ugly box at the top of an article when we can just use seemain. It should be self-evident from the article that it is about mathematical proof.  Melsaran  (talk) 18:54, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and use seemain &mdash; Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 12:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, but not necessarily use seemain. I was horrified to see that it was proposed for deletion, but after really thinking about it it does seem useless, if not bad. However, please do not discourage the ArticleName/Proof idea. Main articles are great, but sometimes you need a proof that's bound to an article, to support it. &mdash; Ben pcc 01:57, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That actually contradicts naming conventions, and they should be moved to Proof of Article Name, like how Transportation in Azerbaijan is not at Azerbaijan/Transportation. They also aren't actual subpages, because this has been disabled in the article space. Atropos 02:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, well, I'm gonna violate the request above, because the deletion of this template clearly violated basic WP proceedures. Did any of you guys actually read what the template said, or participate in the discussions that lead to the creation of the template? No, of course you didn't! Instead you choose to do the equivalent of a speedy-in-bad-faith on the thing! No wonder large parts of wikipedia are up in arms over the nonsense and shenanigans that goes on around here.  This template was the result of a year-long discussion and debate by dozens, if not hundreds, of editors, and you four just sort of decided to ride rough-shod over the whole process, and, I assume out of pure malice and hatred, whacked the thing. I am thoroughly disgusted by this sort of juvenile behaviour. In no way are you helping wikipedia. If you think you are, then you need to think again. linas (talk) 04:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Question about a speedy deletion.
Timothy,

An article that I wrote (back in September last year, admittedly) was speedily deleted, citing Rule 7 under Articles. I can understand why: I made no attempt to convey why this web-based comic strip was 'important' in any way. I was unaware of the guideline, but see the sense in it.

So, to my question: Can the pages that I wrote be re-instated? I would, of course speedily add a list of the various web-comic awards that the site has won, as well as making the argument that it started around 2002 (citation required...?) making it an early starter in this type of artform.

Would that answer the reasoning behind the first SD?

Thanks in advance for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5tephe (talk • contribs) 04:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
