What's going on?
largoplazo and orangemike deleted two articles Texas Station Gambling Hall and Hotel and Boulder Station Hotel and Casino I posted my response on Texas Station talk page then it was deleted. Largoplazo then marked the second article for deletion and orangemike deleted it before i could place a response on the talk page. This happened very quickly, like literally second or minutes apart. I don't see how two entirely different people could have deleted these articles so fast. I think both users belong to the same person. I tried reasoning with largoplazo before the first article was deleted but he became heated. Orangemike has been suspiciously quite. I then mistankenly thought the place to file a complaint was on the [Deletion of valid articles by Largoplazo and Orangemike] page. You can go there for more details. Also, even without a resolution on this largoplazo has moved ahead and marked another article I have worked on for deletion. Please read the mediation cabal page under Speedy Deletion of valid articles by Largoplazo and Orangemike for full details.

What would you like to change about that?
I think both articles meet wikipedia guidelines. I already suggested restoring pages and flag them for needing external references. I think this should have been the appropriate first step from largoplazo. Please look into the speed that these were deleted and the IP address both users were using. If they are one in the same they should have their edit and/ordeletion privleges revoked. I'm willing to compromise in anyway that I can to be a constructive part of wikipedia. I understand the need for policing, but bias and personal vendetta's have no business being on wikipedia. I think largoplazo has continued to show both by flagging this article for deletion. I wish I could have posted this on the talk pages of the articles that are really in question but they were deleted too quickly.

Mediator notes
Given the article has been kept, should this case be closed? Obviously, it could be left open for a while just in case, if you prefer. Also, if you want my assistance, just let me know. PhilKnight (talk) 14:37, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
