Re: Wilkes-Barre and Western Railway
Hello. I noticed that you blanked the Wilkes-Barre and Western Railway page that you created. I reviewed and tagged the article because it needs work, not deletion. Railroads are generally notable and a sourced article would be welcomed. If you really want the page deleted or want it kept, you can let me know by replying here. • Gene93k (talk) 21:52, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

I have blanked the page on purpose in order to remove any trace of information I had previously submitted. As I do have a job and do not have all day to sit at my computer to enter the information related to this page, you and at least one other user from Wikipedia have taken it upon yourselves to berate my page and load my personal email account with notifications that you do not feel my submission is "not notable", not appropriate, needs work, need more citations, etc. I wish you would respect that I was in the process of creating this page to provide information I thought other Wikipedia users would like to share. However, you seem to not like the speed with which I am entering the data and keep providing your opinion about this entry without allowing me ample time to make the additions to the page that are needed under Wikipedia guidelines. I have updated this page several times and continued to make additions to the data. I was in the process of adding citations and links, but I still seem to be receiving notifications from you and other Wikipedia "know it alls" because of the lack of speed with which I am able to update my entry. Therefore, I have decided to remove the entry in its entirety and not post the information I have. Thank You.Turnpikebear (talk) 16:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Again, the maintenance tags are not aimed at you personally. I am not here to discourage you. The article needs work, but cleanup does not have a deadline . If you want the article gone, we can tag it. Another option is to move the article to your user space at User:Turnpikebear/Wilkes-Barre and Western Railway where you can improve the article at your leisure. Again, railroads are important and are generally notable per Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. With some work, Wilkes-Barre and Western can be a welcome addition to Wikipedia. • Gene93k (talk) 16:59, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
