 * Comment WP:WEB states the following do not count: "Trivial coverage, such as (1) newspaper articles that simply report the internet address, (2) newspaper articles that simply report the times at which such content is updated or made available, (3) a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of internet addresses and site or (4) content descriptions in internet directories or online stores." Which seems to be what most of the above are (I didn't look through them all - but one of those listed is just a link that someone emailed the list).   *Mishatx* -  In \ Out   05:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

On User Ragib following User Atulsnischal

 * I have to say that posting on a project page about taking a side on an afd is not really a good thing, and is akin to vote stacking. Please don't do this. Thanks. --Ragib 11:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Stop following me around on Wikipedia Rajib since the Bengal Monitor incident, I told you Wildlife of Bangladesh needs work, please get some people from Bangladesh Project to develop the article.

Thanks

 * Again, this is a very bad approach. Please don't go into WikiProjects asking people to stack the votes in your favor. And this project is on my watchlist, there is no question of me following you around. I don't have that much time. --Ragib 11:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have noted that User Rajib you have gone and posted a Vote to delete within a second of me posting for help to improve the article, this is known as discrimination, you have done no research just Voted to delete.

Atulsnischal 11:24, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have expressed my reasons above. I have taken a look at the unencyclopedic article, which is my reason to vote delete. As for your vote, you tried to disrupt this afd by calling others to vote KEEP in a Wikiproject. That is called vote stacking, and is highly objectionable. Thanks. --Ragib 11:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

By the way you voted in a second after my post for help in the project page, you said it is a non notable list in a second without any research, now you are making stories.

This article on the list is included in the articles we are developing in the WikiProject Protected areas of India, so I asked for help there.

 * Your call for stacking votes 10:58 UTC
 * diff for my vote 11:06 UTC


 * I think the diffs and the timestamps are self explanatory. You can check them if you have some doubt. Thank you. --Ragib 11:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Antulsnischal, your asking members of the WikiProject to take sides is indeed canvassing, which is not allowed; Ragib was perfectly right in asking you not to, and was very civil about it. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-07 12:54Z
