Deletion of Alain Tytgadt

Hi. It looks like you tried to request that Alain Tytgadt be deleted, and replaced the page with the template. But you didn't actually create the AfD discussion page. --Krenair ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:11, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Greetings. I found Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alain Tytgadt on a list of "old" discussions that have been around for over a month without a resolution. The reasons it hasn't been closed are:

• The page was never listed on a daily log page for the attention of the editors who follow these sorts of discussions. It has now been added to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2014 November 6.
• The discussion page was created without the afd2 template. Adding this template not only adds all of the relevant links that folks may need to gather information about the article (including a link to the article itself), but also makes it visible to bots that automatically perform the listing to the daily log if the nominator forgets. I have reformatted the page accordingly.

There's no harm done--it's just that the "clock" on the discussion officially starts now, and it will now be visible to a wider audience. (I'm not going to weigh in on the debate--I'll limit my involvement to housekeeping chores) If you wish to nominate other pages for deletion, please check out WP:AFDHOWTO for detailed instructions. Thank you for your contributions, and happy editing! --Finngall ^talk 16:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
