Created in error - typographical mistake, was meant to be a category. Apologies. Cnbrb (talk) 12:21, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. This should not have an AFD.  AFD is for when community discussion is required.  Just a simply speedy-deletion request is all that is needed, i.e. you should have just used template:delete on the article, i.e. just put  there.  In fact during the four minutes from mistaken creation to when AFD was opened, a speedy-deletion request was put in by somebody else. --Doncram (talk) 12:45, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I tried the speedy delete button but it had a list of reasons that didn't match. Don't blame me, blame the Twinkle interface. Now, please just be helpful instead and delete the article. Thank you. Cnbrb (talk) 12:56, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't use Twinkle then. Your request is to have a full community discussion by AFD.  Could you please withdraw your request.  If there are not opposing votes, a deletion nominator is allowed to close an AFD by withdrawing it.  Please read up about how to do so, probably at wp:AFD if necessary.  You are wasting other people's time, not me.  And by the way i am not an admin so I cannot complete the speedy deletion request. --Doncram (talk) 13:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Right, the article creation was very obviously a typographical error and I clearly attempted to make a good faith fix. I could with less of your rudeness and nit-picking about procedure. Nobody asked you to comment here, so if you've got nothing constructive to contribute here then I suggest you move on and do something else. Cnbrb (talk) 13:23, 15 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. If there's going to be an AFD, i vote "delete" as requested, it is not an encyclopedic topic. --Doncram (talk) 12:45, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
