By the way, if you want to criticize me, then I pity you. My page looks lke a real wiki page.--Tony201213 (talk) 01:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

On my talk page, the other day, you made a statement to the effect that you were declaring war to me. I hope you will reconsider. You may have misunderstood the purpose of Wikipedia. You stated that it was a free encyclopedia with a focus on the word free. I wish you would focus, instead, on the word encyclopedia. Like all encyclopedias, Wikipedia requires that all of the topics it covers have a minimum of notoriety, and that all of its contents be verifiable from third-party sources.

In the deletion discussion of the article Tony Cunningham (Tony & Friends) (click here for a direct link to it), almost every participant pointed out that they have not been able to find any source attesting to even the existence of this character in a published book, let alone a source that was written by someone uninvolved in the writing of the alleged series. And that's why your article must be deleted.

Also, someone hypothesized that you had created that page as some sort of guide you must follow in the character's development through the series. If that is the case, I will not stop you, but I will simply tell you that Wikipedia is just not the right place to do that. MySpace is much better suited for that purpose: it is a personal webspace provider (unlike Wikipedia), and it will not allow any unauthorized third-party editing. (In Wikipedia, third-party editing is not only authorized, it is even encouraged, especially at the expense of first-party editing, see Wikipedia's policy on conflicts of interest.)

I hope I have shed some light to this situation, and I wish you the best for your literary endeavour. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:16, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
